I just don't get Facebook. Call me an old geezer.

Doesn't anyone remember when we valued and guarded our privacy? Is this not the next logical step towards a world where every salesperson, stalker and government watchdog knows our weaknesses?

I love it. I think it's a great way to stay in contact with friends who are no longer just around the block. I've also found many long lost friends and friends from elementry school. Good for sharing photos too. For privacy... what do I care if a salesperson knows I like eating cake, playing soccer and have been to France.

I am so hip now. I got talked into joining Facebook. It's actually OK. I was expecting it to be like Myspace. Of course I am part of the PF group now (under my real name).
