I'm 30. All my friends use facebook and it's been very hard for me to leave. I have left though and literally have lost contact with people merely because they always forget to invite me to things, and we've gone our separate ways. When I joined The Facebook, it was just a fun place for college kids. When I left it was a mega evil empire where you could lose your job, be put in prison, get lectures from concerned parents, and upset people. That's not fun, so I've logged off forever now.
- threeseed 13y agoIf you are indeed 30 then you should know that Facebook isn't to blame because your country has screwed up privacy laws or because you don't know how to send posts to specific people.
- michalu 13y agoWow, have got some unresolved personal issues to respond that way? It's not about privacy and posting, I left facebook too, it has not much to offer and I find it a waste of time. There are better options to connect or spend time online for a 30 year old, it's as simple as that.
- threeseed 13y agoWhat are you talking about ? The OP WAS talking about privacy and posting. To which you have completely ignored and replied with your own Facebook personal story.
- logn 13y agoIt's less about privacy and more about people taking facebook too seriously. I'd rather have geocities and myspace back like they were... or facebook circa 2005. Or like HN, no one actually cares what you say on here, with very few and occasional exceptions. I think once you design a site to replicate your in-real-life identity and social interactions, it becomes too serious and not fun.
- michalu 13y agoYou probably didn't read it, a quick search on the article will show you the word "privacy" is not even present. Neither in the comment.
- samstave 13y agoApp Idea: Create an app that will monitor your facebook for events/invites and email you about those only.
- evincarofautumn 13y agoYou can already do that with the website, under the Notifications section of Account Settings.
