I find the Facebook privacy settings to be sufficient. I'm quite judicious about whom I allow to "friend" me and even then, most of those people do not have access to my photo albums or pics of me tagged by others. Of course, there are still some privacy concerns such as the world colliding issue Dave mentioned, but I haven't had any problems yet. For me, the risk is worth the reward of being able to easily keep up with friends and family that live all over the world.

Agreed! You can decide who you want as a friend and if you are worried about it in the least, maybe you should be careful who you add. The privacy settings are a big help as well. I like it because I can find people who I have lost touch with and it's fun to catch up with them.

I have 2 Myspace pages. A personal one, and one for the Chattanooga Dol-Fans club. I also have a Face Book page for the fan club. For the personal one, the majority of the people I have added as friends are personal friends in real life. I have a ton of friends in Florida, and that page is for them to find me to stay in touch. The other ones, I use to advertise the fan club. I agree that the privacy thing is a concern. There are people on Face Book that update their status every time they take a breath and exhale. That is disturbing.

My rule is that I don't post anything that I wouldn't want my daughter to see, and that goes for both pages.

Yes, we've established that.

But people are able to freely communicate with you and post things on your page, that others, in turn can see.

Not if you have your settings so that you have to approve everything that is posted before its posted.
