This is new to me. I'm familiar with all of the privacy settings and have not given out anything but my name, throwaway email & a little bit about what I do. I think I have this right but maybe not. Let me know please. Each person has a WALL. I can write on my wall. I can write on FRIENDS wall. FRIENDS can write on my wall.So far so good? 1.If I write on my WALL it shows up on all my FRIENDS NEWS FEED? 2.IF a FRIEND writes on his WALL it shows up on my NEWS FEED? 3.If a FRIEND writes on my WALL it shows on all my FRIENDS NEWS FEED? 4. If I write on a FRIENDS WALL it shows up on all his FRIENDS NEWS FEED? Those 4 things are what I need to know if I have right. I appreciate any other thoughts. Thanks

Post only what you don't mind the whole world knowing on FB. No matter what your security settings, FB will randomly and, effectively maliciously, change them for you.

The only thing in my profile is my name, a gmail email,and the name of my band. No phone numbers,addresses,locations etc. I do not blindly accept friends. What I'll probably find out is that it's just another waste of time.I only signed up because the Restaurants I play at have a page so I'm able to post when I'll be there.

It's a tool, John, but a slippery one...  For a guy like me with family spread all across the country, it's a handy way to share photos and keep up on family events. Plus, musicians who use the web can shoot ideas back and forth... Like Ryszard says, however, privacy (anywhere on the web) is an illusion.

The answer is "Yes" to all of your questions, assuming that under your privacy settings you have "friends only" set for the line "your status,photos, and posts". You can also set this to be "friends of friends" and "everyone".
It is worthwhile to spend some time going through that privacy settings screen and making sure that everything is set the way you want it.

I have a number of disabled friends and we share photos and grumble about the weather, (Another foot of snow last night),
My band has a page. Hopefully I can continue to play with them.
Right now she's shoveling snow, the big plow went by. The local farmers are cleaning up, totally huge John Deere with 6 tires and a plow, makes 2 fast passes and it's done. Then clean out the end of the drive where there's now 4 feet of snow.
Facebook, a good way to complain about the weather.

John,
Bite the bullet and get a website. Just a bit more professional IMHO, as everyone has a facebook page but not everyone has a website. Besides you and only you have 100% control of what goes on your site. Another plus is that some of the info you do not want to put on FB(for the obvious reasons) will not only enhance your chance of getting hired but might just be the exact information a potential client needs to know. I think I am paying something like 25.00 per year for Gdaddy to host my site . . . but as our own "Mac" the kinfe might say, your mileage may vary.
Just my 5 cents(adjusted for inflation)worth.
Later,
|

There's a hidden X where you can set it so your 'friends' start playing games it doesn't announce to you every few minutes that Furry just got a new rooster and you need one too.
You can tell facebook to NOT show you all about someone's farming habits, or chess addiction.
My nephew has a band and the band has a facebook page and he's got lots of friends who follow them around. A very cheap way of advertising. Pass out business cards for your 'band' with the facebook information and an email. No home address or phone number.

That's exactly what I'm doing.

That's good advice for all kinds of forums and e-mail.

Sometimes I delete all my info. Sometimes I enter absurd stuff. Never do I put in the real thing. Once my jobs was president of the US, later a fry cook. I've been a double-naught spy and lived on all continents. I figure FB sells this info so I do my part to make it garbage.

I find Facebook to be kind of a strange phenomenon. I created an account several years ago, and then never logged back on again until 3-4 months ago. I logged back in solely because I knew my son had an account and I thought maybe I should see what he’s doing on there.
Since it had been about 3 years or so since I logged in, I had ump-teen friend requests from family, friends, enemies, ex-girlfriends and people I didn’t even know. I accepted the friend requests from the people I knew, (except for my enemies and ex-girlfriends, LOL).
What I soon discovered was that people will post the most mundane sh*t in the world and think that other people will be interested, (i.e., my niece posting via iPhone that she’s stuck in traffic at the mall).
Now unless my niece is in labor or being attacked by a lunatic while stuck in traffic at the mall, I really don’t care or need to know about it.
But you can edit this so you only receive updates from certain friends on your homepage.
And obviously, no personal info besides your name and maybe some photos.

Just thought I’d add that Facebook can be kind of creepy on friend suggestions. For example, it keeps suggesting that I add my ex-bosses wife as a friend, when he’s not on my friend list, nobody in the company is on my friend list, nobody in that STATE is on my friend list, and she doesn’t know any of my friends, nor does he.
Oh yea, I’ve only seen her twice, for about 2 minutes each time, and she’s not requesting me as a friend. Considering there’s no personal info on my site, how did this thing come up with her?????????????

I'm finding it sort of interesting in a weird way. Now that I'm playing in a couple places in town I'm trying to drum up business with it.I can see though were the more friends you get the harder it becomes to keep what you want on top of your wall.I deleted it once before.Something tells me I'll do it again but I want to see how it works out.Is the ultimate goal to be friends with every human on the planet?

He who Facebooks loses seems to be more the point. Too many intrusions for me.
Plus, stuff like that ex-boss' wife thing with Flatpicker makes me wonder how much they are sharing, whether I wanted it or not.
Then keeping up with the mundane posts, keeping an eye on the privacy changes .. I chose not to participate. Give me a call, a PM or an email and I'm there. FB removes 'personal communication' and makes things 'herd communication'.
Why send someone to my FB page to see what anybody else wants to say about me (or what their dog did), when I can send them to my website to see how I present myself?
Two weeks ago we were at my grandmother's funeral and my parents house got broken into. Coincidence? I think not. Did they see it in the obits, or FB? FB crowd has much more likely chance of knowing where their house was than some random person reading the obits... locations were not given. Friend of a friend of a friend and all that.
Privacy; protect it. It's hard enough as it is.
Just my explanation of why you won't find me there.
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

rharv, All good points. As I mentioned, the only reason I logged back into the thing after 3 years was to see what my son was up to. I'm very leary of it. It's obviously capable of coming up with more personal info than what you give it.
