Bon Jour!![ROFL2]
I have a facebook page for my business, but I really have been considering just purging my page down to essentially nothing, and just keeping a minimal presence for the business page.
That's how I find my girlfriends..... I just follow them on Twitter and Facebook.... Then I go after the lonely ones. :)Quote:

On a personal level. I can't stand Facebook.
I'm pretty sure I didn't get a job because Facebook had reset my privacy policies for me with one of their redesigns (so I had *no* privacy) and my cover photo showed gourmet beers (I buy in bulk).
Note: I drink for taste, and one beer generally in an evening. I don't go out and party so there were no absurd pictures of me puking in an alley, just the one shot of a row of craft beers. If this was why I didn't get hired, their loss!
With the amount I'm away from home, and the fact that most of my friends are in Denver and I'm not, Facebook helps keep in touch a little with them.
But I don't put what I'm doing all the time on it, either. And I sure the hell don't use the other crap like Twitter.
EVERY thurough background check these days includes things you've publicly posted on social media sites. It's SOP for BGC companies that run checks for employers.Quote:

Not to mention I have numerous ex-gf's which apparently look me up frequently enough to initiate contact every time I signed on. Decided early on that it was counter-productive to my belief in marital fidelity.
Never have never will.
