“When “NOT” To USE Your Facebook Page”

The ReadyWriter

Facebook is all a craze these days and individuals are really over the top with this social networking site.

A little over a year ago my administrator Carolyn created a Facebook page for me, with strict instructions and a concrete understanding, that the purpose is strictly for easy access to my websites for extended business purposes only!

However, some Facebook users have taken this social networking site to whole another level!!!

We have some Facebook users informing other users of their “whereabouts” (24-7), “their bathroom breaks”, you have the “back and forth bickering” for all to read, “everybody’s holy and saved” now, so you have the “Bible thumping”, “scripture quoting users”, “personal attacks with the hidden agendas”, “pedicure updates”, “I’m around the corner updates” “Sharing personal conversation” and the “vacation updates” (with pictures from start to finish).

I mean this social networking site has really been turned into this “ghetto forum” and an offensive playground, which can all become a liability!!!

If there is no objective there, it’s a forum downgraded to a level of useless and petty. Point-blank!

And now Facebook have the nerve to be adding a new feature that will allow its users to “check into” boutiques, bars, restaurants and theaters, then share their location, via Facebook, with friends.

It’s a setup people!!!!

No one should know where you are at all times and communication should always be limited to the proper degree. Why? Because there is a time and a place for everything and your Facebook page should not be the place.

  9. What is this Facebook craze? Why would I want millions of people to know where I am? Why would I want anyone to know where I am? Why would I want my mug on a website? Where do people get the time to do this stuff? Why would anyone Twitter? Why would anyone care what I am doing? Where would I get the time to “tweet”? This whole thing is crazy.

  10. Not interested. This is one reason (of many) I do not own a cell phone. I don’t want the world knowing where I am 24/7.

  13. People forget that Facebook does a lot of work in helping people stay in touch with friends and family. Its not about narcissism, its a great life line to the people you care about when you have to move across the country for employment.

    So it;s not what you do with it but how you do?

  19. oh, you’re where? that’s pretty far from where you live – mind if I steal you stuff? oh, your husband is out of the state – mind if I swing by?

    why must people feel the need to broadcast where they are and what they are doing every minute?! Facebook can be used for more than that.

    Thank you Ms. Bell for addressing it!!!!

  41. Not sure why anyone would want everyone to know what they are doing 24/7. There is no sense of privacy, much less descretion, anymore. People who need everyone to know their 24/7 life has real emotional issues that should be addressed by a head doc.

  44. Last December my 28-year-old daughter passed away unexpectedly. Her boyfriend posted it on Facebook. That night her townhouse was broken into, both her computers, her 3 flat screen televisions and her jewelry were stolen. The police said posting anything on Facebook that indicates no one is home is dangerous.

    Kudos to Tracy for this post.

I’ll be back on FB because I have found so many long lost people that I refuse to lose with contact with again I’m just taking a cyber break. Of course not from the Blog Queens site. I  this blog n the BQ .
