Finally Facebook
I finally joined Facebook. For years, John has given me crap about socieal networking sites and how they invite viruses into your computer. Tonight, #1 daughter told me that I needed to join Facebook so I can see pics of the grandkids as she is always taking pics of them and it's so easy to upload stuff from your phone. OK, I'll bite. I grumble because Facebook doesn't think the legitimate e-mail address I provide it is valid, so John tells me to try logging in using his Facebook account? WHAT??? What happened to how bad social networking sites are? Why is he, the anti-social person in this family, already on Facebook? So he can talk to some of his old Army buddies. No fair! But I'm on Facebook now. I only had to enter in 3 different e-mal addresses to get it to let me in. It wasn't an address I normally provide for things because I don't want the junk mail that seems to follow. We'll see how easy it is to keep this updated. Maybe since Xanga and Facebook are now linked together, I'll be better about posting on Xanga, too.

You will get a lot of email from facebook, however you can turn off the notifications emails if you choose - but I haven't had much spam from them -- unless it is all going to my spam folder in gmail.
oh and any family news you get about us isn't for facebook yet.
You can turn off email updates from Facebook. You will get a lot of stuff at first, but once you adjust your settings, it helps.
It's the wave of the future, that facebook! Glad to see you here. I think you can avoid some of the risk of viruses by refusing to accept all those potted plants and decorated eggs and causes people will send you. Everytime you start to click on one, facebook asks for access to all your information. (I may be paranoid, but I don't do ANY of those!) Have fun! love, b
