Facebook

If i'm on facebook when I'm 45 please remind me that I'm 45 and shouldn't be on facebook! I saw a man on the train checking his facebook who was clearly not a young chap. Why does that freak me out?

Anyone else have a facebook age limit?

I feel like myspace needs to go before facebook. Seems to be getting younger people every day

When I worked at HT, this little kid, who couldn't have been older than 7, pointed at a picture on a tshirt and said "HEY! that's the picture I have on my myspace!" File that under "WTF". And I think my 40 year old teacher also has a facebook and likes to embarrass my classmates who add her in class by announcing that their photos are "too revealing" and whatnot.

I think that the age limit for facebook should only limit to people age 13 and over. I don't think its anything wrong with an older person having facebook but I wouldn't want my parents to have facebook because i don't want them looking at my pictures and plus its a bad idea.

What's wrong with older people wanting a social life? There the same as you and I.. just older... bet when you're that age you wont feel that old and will still want to live life like you should! Older people should be able to do the same things as everyone else. That's my opinion anyway.

I'm 42, and have a facebook. My dad, who is, well, older than 42 also has one. I like connecting to everybody from every phase of my life that thas ever been important to me and even making new friends.

I agree that there are certain things not everyone needs to read about. If I'm going to have a drunken karaoke night, the members of my church and my young nieces do not necessarily need to read that. So, I have fixed that problem by grouping all of the friends on my list, then making sure that I hide certain status updates from groups that might be offended. It is easy, and still lets me be me!

C'mon kids, everything you do and say online is out there, forever, so don't worry about the people who love you, worry about the people who would like to give you a job, but dump you because you did something stupid online ten years ago.
Meanwhile, I'm 75 and finally publishing the 5 books I've been working on for 40 years. Check out http://archivesofvarok.com I'm dealing with tough stuff about what family means and what you and me and everyone else on Earth needs to start doing now to make a decent, lasting future for life on this planet.

I just dumped Facebook yesterday. I couldn't stand the way that news feed works cluttered with Joey likes this, Pam likes that, and Bob shared this and liked that Page. I also got tired of sending bug reports on the same thing.
