Final straws were:

-Wife got gas at the local Sonoco and she told me later that day some random dude tried to befriend her on FB. She looked at his profile and he works at the Sonoco station.

-Companies associated with TransUnion/Experian are building credit risk profles based on who your friends are on FB.

-Email from FB yesterday explaining that any/all data submitted on your profile can be used for whatever purpose they desire.

Facebook is a joke. If you care about family then you will keep in touch. Friends the same. I hate facebook. As if a person can really care about or even know their 300000000000 facebook friends.

I think we need pics of your wife to determine if this was a good idea or not.

It doesn't have to be this crazy obnoxious thing unless you let it be, and if you really take control of it, it's a great way of staying in touch.
