You can not compare this public forum to Facebook. Facebook has MILLIONS of members, and is THE place where people go to get information on other people. It is not even remotely the same.

Facebook changes their dang privacy policies CONSTANTLY and is about to do it once again.

I am not saying that I refuse to use facebook, because I DO use it. I just prefer to keep it as low key and as private as possible, and with their newest changes will be using it even less.

Of course it makes sense to use FB as a free advertising medium. It is hardly the end of the world that some people will not get involved in anything that requires FB. Why is it such a big deal when some people mention their dislike of Facebook?
