I give up

[Codefox]

I've turned my wall in Facebook completely off. Its not a fucking email inbox. Yet people treat it like one. I don't want messages blasted to me and everyone that I know because I don't trust anyone to keep their writing smart. Not when I have coworkers on there. So its off.

[exiii]

haha. I know exactly what you mean. I've got a couple people who treat the wall like private messaging - MOM, I'm looking at YOU!

Beyond the FB wall though, we are highly dependent on other people to maintain our privacy. I get mis-texts from this friend of mine constantly. We email something funny to someone and they email it to the entire world with your name attached to it.

The email one kills me. I wish there were some way to limit forwarding of emails with your contact info in them.

It just bugs me how inconsiderate people are.

You with FB, me with Twitter.

My intention was to "give it another go" this month, as I kept thinking about how useful it COULD be, but it just never was. There are some Twitter feeds I like to follow, but I can just RSS those and keep the same utility.

Thing is I miss being able to enjoy Facebook and I really wish my coworkers weren't on there. I've considered making a separate profile. Ultimately this is why I maintain my LJ.

[Codefox]

well, I bit the bullet and made a second profile

I have people on a limited profile status. They can't see pictures or something else...

[Codefox]

Not that this has anything to do with your problem, I did think that this was a pretty valuable article to read: 10 New Privacy Settings Every Facebook User Should Know.

Some of it does actually but it was so out of control that those steps are all too small to help
