Post your comments for On Facebook, Think Before You 'Like' here

Games became all about the $$$. Facebook was enforcing Timeline. Lots of people grumbled and threatened to quit. I did just that. Perhaps it was made for fun and get together's for friends in the beginning, but that isn't how it has turned out. Virtual or real. Not easy to discern after the addiction takes hold. Good luck.

Things that should be obvious when it comes to Facebook.

1. Don't like things period unless you're playing games and you account is merely for Facebook gaming.

2. Don't list your interests like favorite band, favorite TV show, etc because then you will be spammed by updates of these things you listed as you're interested in.

3. Don't talk to people you don't know unless it's merely a gaming account. Because you risk the chance someone becomes a stalker and they start search for your personal information.

4. Only post stuff you're fine with the whole world knowing because no matter what your privacy settings are, nothing is completely private on Facebook.

5. Use some logic and common sense. Don't post stuff like when you'll be out of town or if you're a child when you're parents are out of town. Don't give pedophiles and burglars a chance to raid your house or molest your kid.

Another wasted post on Facebook. If people are too ignorant to realize that companies use our info for other purposes, then maybe they shouldn't be online at all.
