my wife opened mine, at first it was interesting to see and hear from some old friends or keep in touch with ones I don't call on a regular basis, but then it got weird with ex's or people I didn't really want to see always wanting to get together for lunch or hang out. I prefer to hide behind my screen name, and not post every event or every aspect that takes place in my life for all to see.

Go to the top right and click "account" then "privacy settings". once on this page click "Customize settings" from here you can change everything to "friends only" and gives you semi-privacy. But its some what of a delusion as Facebook is still going to sell any info of ours off to corporate interests. Remember to never add your phone number or address.Quote:

Stalkers are entertaining at first, but it wears off quickly.
How is it that between user forums, email, cell phones, land lines, satellites, gps, twitter, BBS, P2P, smoke signals, pheromones, carrier pigeons, wolf whistles, cat calls, bedroom eyes, sonar, radar, FLIR, NV, illuminated reticles, I pad, kindle, steve jobs, coffee shops, fetish clubs, dive bars, and Al Gore inventing the internet...
...that people HAVE to use FaceBook to stay in touch with their friends and family?
How the fuck do the Amish find each other?

Kill chat ... crank all the privacy settings to maximum and consider running third party apps to keep it in line.
Back before I deleted my FB account (and you have to jump through a lot of hoops to actually delete it instead of just deactivate it) I had several greasemonkey scripts running along with a couple third party plugins for Firefox that made FB look and function better (and block all that obnoxious Farmville/Mafia wars crap).
However they change FB often enough that you really have to keep up on the third party apps so I imagine most of the ones I was using are dead and would need to be replaced with new ones (so that's why no links here).

you do realize, of course, that they can only read what you put in there, right?
