My Fake Facebook Thread

Nah, is it sooo complicated to NOT post actual private info? I have an FB account, but even my real name does not appear there.

To me the reason was not the privacy settings (or that in the past you could see the data in spite of the settings if you knew how) but that Facebook reserved the right to share the data with others.

I just read through their privacy policy page and can't find that paragraph anymore, so Facebook does improve there. I might reconsider and join.

Even the most strict privacy settings are compromised via games and apps on Facebook.

Hey guys so I was wondering is there any real benefit to me being on facebook? I mean I am already addicted to twitter and recieving way too many emails to respond to and I have a myspace I rarely login to. Do you think it would really spread the news of my site more or probably not?

You can always ask Danielle! SHE has both a FB and a Myspace page. She NEVER replies to anything people post and, who knows, if she reads anything others write? She clearly warns the viewer she won't reply to their postings.

Some people - kayden Kross, for example - set up Twitter, Myspace, and Facebook so when she "tweets" on Twitter, her words automatically appear on FB and MS.

If a person has those sites set up to send text message alerts when someone like kayden tweets, it gets overwhelming with duplicate messages from the three social network sites.

Well, yes it would. But set it up that no one under 18 can see your info or you will have MANY under aged kids coming to your site. But there are other "Social" sites to promote your website too. I'll send you a PM on that.
