I stopped using Facebook a while ago for this reason. Family, personal, and professional are better off separate. Incidentally, at every family event I go to now I'm asked if my sister is a lesbian because "she is in a relationship with a girl on facebook, she must be a lesbian". My dad got several calls from relatives asking. Bottom line is I dont want status updates from many people. And if I do, I want it to be so important that they'll call and tell me.

> Bottom line is I dont want status updates from many people. Just hide the ones you don't want. I've got several hundred FB friends but only see updates from a couple of dozen at most.

  Why do you have the others as friends?

    > Why do you have the others as friends? I know a lot of people. I generally don't turn down friend requests from people I know, but then I don't necessarily have their updates in my FB stream. And I've set up a couple of family- and work-related lists, and will sometimes post only to one or another list.
