I've got mine set to friends only, so others can't see my pics. It's easy to do through your account settings. |

I must be getting grumpier in my old age cos I got irritated when I had too many friends on there and knocked over 30 on the head. I also - with a couple of exceptions - removed people I didn't know very well, partly because I trust people less and partly because most of my FB friends are real life people - I don't see it as an extension of GR or anything like that. |

Uggers, I can understand that, but although I have a lot of friends on there from here, lots of them I have met and are friends with in real life now, and some I am with for other reasons than GR. I also have family on there, and other real life friends. |

Hiya Tim, people wasnt slagged off for being on FB it was the private group a couple of objected to the topic of conversation on there which some one took it upon there self to copy and paste and send round to others, some people have moved on some havent, it was never a hate group. |

I am on there, as are my adult grandchildren and Great nieces and my sister and it is handy if I want to contact them quickly because I know they are usually around on there. I have my privacy set to friends only. Other than family I have people from GR and ex GR. having said that, I don't go on there a lot and I don't use any of the additional bits., or join groups etc. |

I love FB. It's a great way to keep up with family and friends in the UK. It was also great when my son was deployed overseas as he could communicate with us more easily over the internet than the phone. I've just received a load of old photos from a family member so that's a plus. If I get an invitation I only accept those that I'm happy to have as friends. I have received some that I feel just want to see what's going on with other friends I have - I ignore them. |
