FYI to folks not familiar with FACEBOOK - there is less anonymity using

Facebook - it is a VERY public networking service:

- There are no nicknames so your REAL name is used/displayed and your

Facebook profile photo, if you have chosen to have one. It also reveals

where you are located and any work info you have not chosen to mask from

view via your profile settings. Nobody can view or access your entire

profile and photos unless you grant them permission by adding them as a

friend of yours.

- You can click on VIEW FRIENDS next to any of the members of the group

and a list of THEIR friends with photos et al will come up, even with an

option that you can send a request to add them as your friend, too.

- Email addresses are not displayed though you can send private messages

within Facebook to the user selected, but doing so automatically opens

that person up to to view your list of friends, as well as your Basic,

Work and Education info for one month.

- If you delete the copy of your private message sent with replies

received, Facebook actually deletes the whole " thread " , you cannot

selectively delete individual parts of private messages (only the entire

thread).

- There appears to be in the group feature a public forum discussion

that works like other non-group discussion groups though.

- Also, if you are signing up for it for the first time - be aware (or

also beware) that it will ask you if you want to invite your friends and

will also slyly attempt to get you to click yes to allow it to read your

email address book and any messenger program address books (like Skype

and Messenger) and send messages to everyone there as an invite to

Facebook from you (you can choose NO and it will leave those lists alone).

Actually-- I tend to disagree-- it's only public if a person chooses for it

to be

Well-- actually, I know several people who use a different name, they just

put in a fake name rather than their real one

it's worked fine for them

LOL It's not sly at all-- it's right out there for all to see as an option.

If someone READS, they will know what it does

Hi Momresearch,

Yes you pointed out some good issues, however, is correct, you

can totally control your privacy settings and have full control on who

you want to see you and WHAT you want to be seen. You do not have to

post your email address, your location, what you do or anything else

that is on the information page. Many people leave it completely blank

by choice and others choose, like me, to fill in only waht I want to

fill in. You can ignore friends requests, block people, or just join

groups without going the friends/reconnection route. That is what I

like about facebook, I am completely in charge of my privacy

preferences and what I want to be public. However, people should only

do the things they are comfortable with and if things like facebook is

not in one's comfort zone, no one is obligated to do it.
