I would be much less full of hate for facebook if they did a better job of educating their users.
If they did that, they wouldn't make as much money. The whole system is designed by default to reveal everything you input, and to make everything available to Facebook's advertisers to do their demographic targetting. I make a specific point of not using Facebook myself... or any social network... again it's my Internet Tinfoil Hat syndrome. If it's up on Facebook, it's up for the world... from Future employers, to future girlfriends. I tend to see SN's as the digital equivalent of streaking naked in front of the entire world... if you're not careful, everyone will see everything, and it will come back to haunt you.
I have used Facebook though.... I am usually called in to help older members of the family upload photo's to the site, or similar.
