They have recently offered a "lite" Facebook which is not as busy as the original Facebook and which I think many will find appealing. It is still in beta and only some of the subscribers are using it. I am using it and may prefer it. I have closed off pretty much all public loopholes, those options are available to the user. Whether people use them or not is another matter. One does not have to accept "friends" if one is not interested in sharing. One's pages need not be open to all. I think it's worth looking at. I think there are fewer warnings as time goes on and as Facebook attempts to react to complaints and suggestions. Elaine For centuries, theologians have been explaining the unknowable in terms of the-not-worth-knowing. --Mencken Hello Nivard On Saturday, September 12, 2009, you wrote > Hi Elaine > There are repeated warnings about facebook and > its security issues not to > mention the terms and conditions of use > Personally I would be very wary about using it > but thats not to say it does > not have its uses > Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) >> You might want to take a look at Facebook where >> you also can exchange comments along with the >> photos.
