Lol im 12, im not sapost to have facebook xD. But i do, and i dont even have my lastname on there. JUST my first name. Which is Serenity. But there are SO MENY Serenity's on facebook it's hard because sometimes my friends cant find me, thats why i friend them. Its not that hard because if somebody i know that i dont want to find me they cant. Because it doesnt say my lastname! ;D

Don’t ride in an automobile or you may die today.
On average in 2009, 93 people were killed on the roadways of the U.S. each day.

Good tip. Thanks. While it's a great social media and networking tool, thieves use Facebook to gain more than a "personal connection" to people. The problem is.... many FB users actually INVITE them into their online world!

I use Sock accounts on facebook, i got like 3, i don't use them, i only use it for probing
there are people i know, but they won't add me because they hate me in real lie, and i add them on a sock account and they add me on my sock account, and i was like "Wierd" :S?? I use them for probing accounts of random people, well i know them in a certain sense that i remember their face and name but not in real life or their personal lives.... Maybe most facebook accounts are after all sock accounts
OK, conecting with strangers on Facebook is stupid.
However:
Most people also provide their full name, address and phone number to the entire world in the phone book.
The only thing missing is the date of birth - and DOB is not something people usually think of as private: birthdays are celebrated in public, they're written in plaintext on the front of our driver's licenses and video shop membership cards.
The fact that banks etc. use DOB as a verification mechanism is crazy.
