I do like Facebook, it can be a lot of fun , if you don't get dragged down by all the pointless applications and the like. I think, as you say, you have to be very mindful of the security settings.

I deleted my account months ago. I didn't want to be poked nor did I care whether "friends" were "currently walking to lunch" or any other minutiae of their life.

Thus, I had deleted my account on Facebook. Still getting people asking me to re-activate because either they wish to email me, 'miss my presence' on FB, or have photos to share. Kind of sad, really. Why not simply email me via regular email, show me photos if/when I visit or simply upload a few pix via email, hey! The only thing that was good about Facebook was that most people that you do not usually talk to or have not heard from for a while can easily communicate with you without providing your personal email to them. This at times is a blessing, when you need to organise things for other people (e.g. Hens Night). It's also great to break the ice, or keep your network open. Other than that, at first it was fun and exciting, but now...in plain...I hate it! I completely agree with everything you wrote- weirdly – word by word! Thus, I had deleted my account on Facebook.

What irritates me a lot is the default privacy settings. It's very time consuming and I still haven't gone through all of it. There are many things that need improvement, however, I still think Facebook is useful, in that it keeps you in touch with people u have not seen in many years, and yes, usually the ones who are not "close friends" or work colleagues.
