To conform or not to conform...this is a question...

Should I join facebook?  Here are my issues, you blogging experts clue me in. 

• Many friends and hubby are facebookers. 
• I do not want to be found by anyone from my high school
• I do not want to use my name because of work...they search for our face book pages
• I would use westendwordsmith; as ultimately everyone knows me by that pen name and inevitible

My friend's boss found him on facebook and added him and he had to create a bogus account lickety split. Just know that something like an incriminating status (like: "Totally hungover after last night. Thanks for the fun, guys!") is gonna stay there and can't be deleted so you have to be careful who you add

I don't have a facebook but I imagine that it is similar to myspace. While your name will not appear to everyone, they do ask for it when registering. And that is how people find you. If they search your name, they will find your page, regardless if you use a pen name. So registering with an alias, if they allow you to and I don't know how they would know really, would be best.

I have a facebook, I have it locked.. I'm naturally careful about what I put on it as my family are apart of my "network" but I enjoy seeing what they are up too.

Personally-if my boss asked me to put them on my friends list over facebook, I would politely tell him/her no thank you.

::shrugs:: It's not a work thing and tehre are things you'd do at home you would not do at work.. You can lock it to be private and no one can see your stuff unless they are on your friends list.

(I hope that made sense.. My mom's talking as I try to type..)
