When I first opened my account with Facebook, I thought maybe I was wasting my time but now friends and family are talking and sharing their photos with me. I have not talked with this one person for 5 years so it was nice to hear from her. I will eventually share some of my own photos when I return from trips. I still feel though quite guarded to what I want people to see. The younger people I associate with seem to be more open which does trouble me and they hear about it but they think I am over reacting. The youth ( 16-23) always thinks that I do not know what I am talking about. SIGH. Yet, I have to admit, sometimes I treat them the same way. I know I will use it more also when loved ones are hundreds of miles away. I am glad you can block people and choose who you want to talk to. Some people I think use it to say look how popular I am and they have 200 friends on there - I think that is crazy!
