the problem with facebook
The problem with Facebook (at least the main one I have) is that it brings together a huge group of people who are: your co-workers, your family, your current and former love interests, your old friends, your new friends, your activity partners, some unusual acquaintances, people who went to school with you and recognize your name but not much else, etc. It also allows you to indicate which causes you support, etc. In my case, this mixture isn't exactly pleasant -- i.e. there are a lot of people who know me in one sense, who I don't really want to know me in another sense. And I get added as a friend by people I barely remember.
There doesn't seem to be a way to filter what people see about you, like the lj friends filters (not that I really use those on here). And as my lj-friend, unless you actually have met me in person or sent me something in the mail (which many of you haven't) you don't know my entire name or address, and that name isn't associated with these thoughts. Which is the way I like things.
That said, if anyone has Facebook and wants to add me there, you're more than welcome. Just don't expect lots of updates of a personal nature.
