Re: Show Your Facebook Page!
I have facebook. It is a good way to keep up with what my friends, are doing. I was great with school reunions... You have to be careful, many marriages site facebook as contributing to divorce. I have my wife approves all old girl friends "friend request". She looks much better than they do, and she finds that funny... BTW my FB link is below... Please no good looking female friend requets...

Re: Show Your Facebook Page!
I love fb for keeping up with friends and relatives. The people that hate it crack me up. It is amazing where people will draw the line with technology to keep up with people they know. I grew up with the landline. That worked fine for a while. Then I got into email. That too was great. Then I jumped onboard with this thing called a cell phone. That made things real convenient. Then text messages came. And now a website called Facebook. Facebook does a great job of putting all the news I'd ever want to know in one place. I'll keep adopting whatever technology comes along.

Re: Show Your Facebook Page!
Well said Jim! I figure it this way, if you don't like it, don't use it. Pretty simple...
Facebook is a major part of the marketing effort for my radio stations. We've been on it since late 2006 and I believe it has done wonders.
We're also on Twitter! Look me up there if you want to. "BossBurley"

Re: Show Your Facebook Page!
It got nothing to do with being scared of technology. I am a first mover - and therefore maybe one of the first to "ditch" Facebook

I started working with Internet in 1994 - and has built and sold several technology/internet companies since then.
But today I see companies putting more effort into facebook than into their own websites. The effect is a mass transfer of "landing pages" from the companies own website - to landing on the Facebook web site - a page you don't even own the RIGHTS to. Many product or company searches now lands you straight on Facebook - and the company's own website links turns up on page 2 or 10 of the search results. From a brand value perspective that is called a disaster. People also market their Facebook page MORE than their own website - so effectively paying money to Google or Bing - to grow Facebook? They must be laughing very loud at FB - because the users are turning FB into a new complete "Internet"
What "scares" me about FB is all the crap that is there - it is full close to nothing. Most posts says absolutely nothing of value. I am tired of hearing "my baby did 'x' on the toilet' - Or "my toast is lovely" - and I do value my personal life very much - and I do not care about being tagged in pictures or have all my life detailed out in a way where I have no control at all.
If FB had a lot more "distribution" control - I would consider using it for our baby pictures etc. for the family. But since privacy controls and private distribution groups / security is lacking a lot on FB - I'm using a private website for my family to check up on our baby's progress. And I do like to retain rights for my own material and pictures - and not suddenly see one of my Baby pictures used in FB marketing (which you sign off that FB is allowed to do when you set-up an account)
But a lot of my former employees are making a lot of money making app's and games for FB :-) so that makes me very happy at heart.
And FB growth seem to have stopped - despite the influx from of people from Asia. Today's young generation does not use FB - they think it is a place for old timers - a place where their mum and dad hangs out.
No - for social networking I prefer LinkedIn - and there I link up with people I know well.///

I used brake cleaner to clean mine. I had a lot of rubber from belt slippage sucked into mine. I didn't have to remove my risers though.
