Facebook.....

Hello!!!!
I want to start off by saying that I think facebook is a great way to communicate with with old and new friends, friends whom live close and far and even for some people to keep in contact with the ones they love, whether it be with a boyfriend, spouse or someone who is fighting in the war.  With every new technology that comes out there are going to be pros and cons.  I believe that all three of the articles have valid points and are something to consider when you are thinking about joining facebook.  Privacy is a huge issue with me and I think everyone would agree.  There are extra steps that you have to take when joining any sort of group on the internet, such as setting your profile to private so only the people you want seeing your information and pictures are only allowed, having updated spyware or any virus protecting software, keeping your password to login to facebook only your information and most of all logging off facebook when you are done, not leaving it open for some random person to hack into.  As the rules start to change in facebook i do take a minute to think about if i still want to remain a user of it.  I don't think I will forever be a user of it,but as of right now I'm happy with the way it is being ran.  All of my uses with facebook is just to keep in contact with my friends who live in other states and friends who I rarely get to see.  I encourage everyone to become a user as long as you take extra precautions to protect yourself and your personal information.  If facebook started charging a fee I don't think that I would remain a user just because I have enough things to pay for and I don't need to add something else to the list.
