On Facebook

So I've been on Facebook for a while now and have a few thoughts...

• This is a giant digital vacuum for your spare time.
  
• The 'friending' process kind of bugs me. I mean, with true friends, there are no worries. But then you get these friend requests from people that you used to work with that you aren't really friends with and what do you do? Do you let them in and let them see your most unprofessional photos and musings, or do you ignore their requests and risk future business relationships?
  
• I had to 'unfriend' a former business associate, because it turns out that she is some kind of religious wacko. I just couldn't deal with someone quoting scripture coming across my desk every week.
  
• I need better tools for creating a inner sanctum of friends that I can truly be rude with.
  
• I find myself filtering truly funny comments because I know that it will be viewed by a wider audience.
