I haven't checked into Facebook for a month or so... :-D
I only joined it because a friend stopped using email to keep in contact and started using Facebook instead.
I never really "got" Facebook and never did much on it, I think in 18 months I've maybe made a dozen posts.
The interface was just hostile and noisy, filled with crud that just didn't interest me.
Which is strange, because I love Twitter - but it is short messages and I only have a small group of people I follow.
The more I hear about Facebook, the less I want to use it.
I think the younger generation are more into open everything, as a generality, than older people. Younger people seem to be open, unless they want some piece of information to be private, whilst we older buggers want everything to be private, unless we explicitly give it out as public.
Either Facebook will evolve into a "young people's" domain, where they don't worry about the privacy, or it will get a huge backlash of people leaving it...
