What is going on??

My mom now has a Facebook account and is a fan of Taylor Swift. My mom doesn't listen to any music made after 1970. And doesn't do technology. WTF??

I'm just glad I don't have one. And now I never will.

I really, really wish I didn't. They're skeevy about privacy and full of hackers and viruses and I DO NOT WANT, but I opened the account when the site was pretty new and only college students were allowed. And I'd delete my account, but they don't actually delete it and now I'm stuck with them having my information forever and ever.

Oy.

Yeah, all the stuff I'm hearing lately about the hacking and privacy issues makes me really glad I'm not there.

And how can they not DELETE an account?? That just sounds wrong....

Yeah, apparently even if they "delete" your account, they keep all of the information you've ever put on there indefinitely. It's insanely creepy. Heck, as recently as a couple of years ago, you couldn't even "delete" - you could deactivate, but if you wanted to "delete," you had to personally argue with the facebook PTB.

LOL

When I told my mom I got a new one, she was like "I'll take your old one!" Um, I don't think so, mom. Old one's kinda crappy...

My mom doesn't have a facebook account but Gordon does. So whenever he sees something on my FB account he calls her into his little man cave and she makes him either post a comment or "like" my status LOL. *shrug* I don't put anything on there I wouldn't want my mom to read so it's all good. Makes me laugh.
