Well it is on the news that Facebook is 5 today and talk of the news channels is "has a whole generation given out too much information" and I think this must be the case.
YF now has a Facebook page and is 16 already and has friends in her class who are 25, they are such lying toads.
I said Oh can I use it and she wrote down the name and password for me, kids are so gullible. I am a nice person and will of course not use it so anyone could notice but she can't know that.
The thing is, it's almost necessary these days to have an FB presence. Jay, a social recluse, doesn't belong to FB but she recently joined an iceskating club at Oxford and all the announcements and travel arrangements etc are given out on the club's facebook page - which you can only access if you log in to Facebook. 
They seem to assume that you are not a Real Person these days without one.
It's strange - I am a dinosaur and remember when people thought I was mad to have and ask for an email address - 'oh it'll never catch on' they said. I was 'that strange merry who is obsessed with that weird internet thingie'.
Is just having an account enough to view the club's facebook page or must you join them in some way first. If you have to sign up with everybody that would be silly
I don't know, if it is like Myspace you can set your page private or otherwise which is the default.
I guess an information group would set their page to otherwise and you would only need to join to have an opinion.
Anyway there is a news story today saying that people are more likely to die if they go on facebook, it is very worrying.
Just think of it as evolution in action 
A teenage girl has been sacked for saying on Facebook her job was boring.
Apparantly she didn't even name the company.
If anyone ever discovers hard facts and guesses who I am, I am for the chop for sure. 
Although in these enlightened times we are all of us almost for the chop really. And I would actually like the chop if it did not mess with my pension hopes.
Mind you she did pass the link round the office.
I think it's daft though because everyone moans about their job. The company has now been done more damage by their own pettiness. Who would want to work there now?
What we need is a journalist to record comments made in private by politicians and directors of companies and demand they be sacked too.
I seem to recall that Prince Charles has expressed dissatisfaction with his lot in life. Can we finally get rid of him?
We does all get fed up sometimes, I get fed up when Favourite Cushion wants to move and disturbs my repose.
Even pretending to be totally paralysed has no effect on his desire to move, wergh.
I wonder if Prince Charles has a secret online persona. I bet he does.
This "people in your office looking at your facebook page" is turning into a can of worms.
People who are "off sick" for example have a bit of a problem when they blog (or whatever it is called on facebook) about their nice holiday.
In some ways the net is simply putting back the connections we used to have when we lived in small villages. Then if you were 'too sick' to go hunting you could hardly go surfng since everyone would know you'd been faking it and you'd go hungry.
It also meant that while you could steal someone's best spear you couldn't use it without getting caught. I like privacy, but it has its downside.
