Okay, I am finally going to join the new millennium and start using Facebook.
I'm turning to my TUG friends because many of you are in my age group and use it frequently.
I have stayed away from Facebook mostly because there are parts of my life that I really do want to keep private. My impression of Facebook is that it is for people who want to post their personal diary for all to see.
My question is this. What is the best way to use it? What are the choices? How do you make it effective? How do you keep private stuff separate from public stuff?
After looking into it. It looks like Facebook is like a personal Blog space. It seems that the goal is to get a lot of followers and likes. What is the psychology behind Facebook? Is it just ego? Or, is there something more?
Why am I interested? Anything that gets used 800,000,000 times per day is very important. I need to find out why.
I am interested in your opinions.
