So Facebook

--- Quote from: TheEvilDog on 04 Nov 2012, 15:43 ---I'm pretty much done with Facebook, the only reason I still use it is because of the Avengers game on there and my sister is posting photos up while she's in the States. The rest is just drivel and to be honest, most of my friends, I already talk to on a regular basis anyway, and the ones I can't see? I chat with messengers.
Facebook was a novelty and interesting to begin with, but now people are moving on to the likes of Tumblr and now you have the likes of these "heterophobia awareness month" being left behind. It's tedious, boring and marks the end of the site.

My problem with facebook is more that there is utter garbage being posted on there by people that I don't even care about that much.
Aside from that, I only stick around on there because of my peers on my degree. There's a facebook group on there that I post in there a lot :<
Otherwise I am not a fan of that website anymore.
Welu:
I further filtered my friends list. I decided about those people who I thought would whine if I deleted them, screw them. I also finally made use of groups so most of my posts only go to my online friends any way.
Also I hate Facebook event invites. Send me a PM or a text if you have my number. I have used the event thing, privately, to invite friends to big parties. Mainly just so they have a reference of where/when but I message and text the people personally too to work out kinks and so they can say to me, "Oh, I'll be working to 8pm so I'll come but be late." without having to say it to everyone else invited.

I deleted mine, but eventually made a new one with stricter privacy standards.

I think that if you put embarrassing things on facebook and makes them public, you're asking for trouble, especially if you're a representative of your company.
If your supervisor is a facebook friend, however, (NOT RECOMMENDED - WHY ARE YOU DOING THAT) they shouldn't bitch and whine about what you put up that isn't public.
If a prospective employer asks for your facebook password, then you're better off not working for them...if they honestly think that it's not an invasion of privacy, imagine what life will be like with them glancing over your shoulder, reading every email you send...Big Brother is watching you, and you let him.
Lines:
I don't think they'd ask for your password. Honestly, if they wanted to know, they could just have someone hack into it. Which is a whole other can of worms, but at least they wouldn't be stupid enough to let you know they're going to look.
Bluesummers:
Unfortunately, some companies do. They don't have the resources or the balls to have someone hack it, but if they're really uptight about your personal goings-on, they do ask for your password.
To be honest, very few companies do it...but those who have, have been met with a lot of social backlash.
Informative article on the practice (Forbes)
Questioning legality of asking for FB password (NY Times) This is why I voted for Blumenthal...he's been crusading against this kind of shenanigans ever since he was the CT Attorney General.
