I Tend to Agree That Facebook is Dangerous . . .
joeldm 17th Feb 2010
On 30 Rock they called it (or at least a fake site that was identical)
right:

"Horny married chicks with kids who want to exchange pervy emails
with old boyfriends from highschool"

. . . now they're not ALL like that, but frankly, if I want to exchange
email and photos and family info there are easier, more private and
safer ways to do it without exposing myself and my family to all the
"pervs" out there. And as been pointed out, Facebook isn't as
impervious to public distribution as most think.

I distribute photos via email for the most part and using a password-
protected MobileMe gallery for slideshows which I then don't leave up
forever. The web is NOT secure, just in case you weren't following the
Chinese Google hacker debacle. Anything on your Facebook page
could become completely public at any time.

I don't put stickers on my car and I don't post my life on social
networking sites. It just tells too many crazy people too much about
me. But that's just me. There are people who feel like they have to
have it all out there. In the old days it was interminable slideshows of
your vacation to Disneyland. These days it's Facebook . . . .
