That's the thing - you put your parents in the family circle and they don't see the passed-out drunk stupid photos you post in the friends circle.  Wink
 
I'm pretty sure you could make certain things accessable to certain people on FB. Not sure if it applies to photos and I have no idea how to do it, but I know you can with certain things. 

I LOVE Facebook.Because of FB I know more about what my daughter is up to than I do from living with her.LOL


Such a parent thing to say Jody Tongue

On Facebook they are called "friend lists"... You can hide and show things very specific on Facebook.

Didn't bother with MySpace, not bothering with Facebook, not gonna bother with Google+.

And I'm sure you're all eternally grateful.

I'm surprised you haven't heard of them, they are a fairly large internet company primarily known for their search engine.

 Ouch

So probably another fad I won't bother with

I guess it might matter (a little bit)...eventually. And I know it's still in beta but it doesn't feel very different, except for somehow feeling more smart phone friendly, which of course I don't care about since I don't have one.
