This month not much travel - confined to the coast.
I discovered Facebook.
I found out that it is easy to keep in touch with several friends and relatives easier than even hotmail.
As a new Facebook-er.....Here's some questions:
---How secure is it?
---Can I track other people's activity if they read my notes or look at my pics (i.e. So-and-So just looked at pic B or read Note 3")
---Is it polite to purge my friends? Under what condition? I did an invite and went from 10 friends to 200 in a day (how does THAT happen).
---Can I write blog-type entries under the "Notes" section?
--Seems like there is a bunch of junk on there too. People will understand if I don't want to throw them poke them, give them a gift or become a Jedi warrior or other time-wasters, right? I check email and PB (using PB as a verb here) in moments between checking on other things...I need no other time-munchers.
---I have several drunk relatives who like to post pics of parties on their profiles. Should I delete them from my friends list? Who wants to see them with their head in the toilet.....not me?
--If someone comments on a note or a photo and mentions country details, can I erase these comments, and can outsiders see these comments and how secure are our conversations?
--Can I empty out my history in case people post comments that are too private?
--Can my friends see who my friends are? Can I block this so that my pastor friends don't see the profile pics of my old pre-conversion friends who have profile pics of them flipping the bird, puking in a toilet or mooning the camera (yes, I knew some real winners back in "the day"....)?
---Can outsiders see who my friends are?
--Is it snobby not to admit who my friends and former associations are?
Does this platform have potential for pastors, missionaries to send out news, updates? Yes or no, why or why not? Any dangers?
