When Facebook Goes Too Far

I think Facebook is a wonderful website. It's a great way to keep in touch with friends without having to find the time to call or write as often. Of course it's also a way to 'stalk' those people that you knew from a long time ago, but don't talk to anymore.

Well, I think Facebook is starting to become too mainstream. Just recently, the mothers of two of my good friends in high school joined Facebook and friended me. Of course I'm going to accept the friend request, but it's days like today when I am incredibly relieved that my mom uses dial up internet and would never think of joining Facebook. Unfortunately, the mothers of said friends might convince her to try anyway. I'm apprehensive of being Facebook friends with the mothers of friends, even though one of the mothers is referenced in item #5 of my most recent post.

If I had not been so neurotic about what I allowed on my Facebook site, I would probably have considered saying no to those friendship requests!

In summary, parents do not belong on Facebook! The end. :)

that's why you have the ability to restrict access to just about anything on your profile by person. GREAT feature, in my book.
