Why would my life be better with FRIEND FACE??

Love facebook it's improved my typing immensely,the only drama you have is what you accept..shit I know some of the biggest bullshitters and whingers,Fark even my ex lives in the next town and rants all day long(I see sometimes on my daughters page)but youi can hisde or block or delete..shit the only shit is what you accept as I said earlier..If it wasn't for fb me and my misses may never communicate..lol

It's not for everyone, but it's part of the future, just not my future....

Had this sent to me over a year back, dont know if some of you may have seen it.

Just remember, everything you put on Facebook is readily available for a lot of people to see, so when you're applying for that new job and your future boss makes a comment about the bare fist backyard brawls or drunk pics, do yourself a favour and look after your name.

Doesn't that depend on your privacy settings????

And really no different to posting something up on a forum.

And if someone doesn't want 2 hire you for who you are do you really want 2 be working for them

That's true mate but it's good practise to check how other people see your profile every now and then. FB has a habit of changing things leaving your profile a little more public than expected.

It's your call BA, I have a profile and from time to time can be an active poster. Like others have said, it can be useful for keeping in touch and spreading news to friends and family. It can be good for keeping up with stuff you're interested in. There are some handy patrol groups on there with lots of parts being sold or traded but there are heaps of young forkwits and hero's in those groups who I could live without.....but that's life really.
If used wisely social media can be both fun and useful but it can also become a major distraction to living your real life.
