Thank you.

I rarely give out my number, but if it's someone I've known for some time I will. It's only came up a couple times, but it was old friends, so I feel I know them well enough to be safe.

Haha, well I have known this boy for 15 of my 16 years so I figured it was safe.

Which reminds me; why do people post their phone numbers on Facebook anyway??

In the open? I have no idea. I've seen lots of teens do it, but I can't figure out why. I know I'm a decent guy, but some who see it won't be. Then you're reading about them in the newspaper. I'm about as big as you get and even I won't do it. Too many strange ones out there, or worse.

Mine used to be up there and I didn't even know it. I fixed that. The only think my phone and facebook has in common is that I get notifications thru text messages, I can respond to people on my phone, and I can set statuses as well as post photos. Might as well not even use the computer. LOL!

I can still see it...

Yeah Julia, my daughter does the same. But all the people on her list are old friends. It's not listed on her page anywhere.
I'm still not sure I like it, but you(as a parent) have to find a middle ground. Ours is her friends can know her number, but nobody else, and she doesn't go to meet anyone she hasn't already met (and me).
Some may disagree, but it keeps the trust between us. I know she won't go meet a stranger, no matter how long she's known them online.

its not safe idea to put it on FB.if you wanna give your number to a person you know or knew in person.Send in a PM>is better

I agree with ya.That's wise.

Shoot, I don't care. If I don't know you, tough, I am not adding you.

That's what I meant.

No matter. This is a teen thread. I need to skeedaddle. lol

i did not have FB has a teen never had to worry about this stuff.

It's a good thing people don't delete me as friend because I never talk to them otherwise I'd only have maybe two friends at best.

I used to use facebook quite a bit, but the novelty wore off and now I think it's pretty dumb. I post here and there and rarely update my status. If I upload any images of people I delete them in a few weeks.
Even though I have security set on the highest settings I still feel very unsafe on facebook.

I do like facebook to keep track of friends that I rarely see... but to me using facebook to keep in touch with friends that one sees regularly just seems pointless. I'd rather see a person and have an in-person conversation than chat with them via facebook.

i can understand that

I never delete anyone for simply not posting on my Facebook page, either. I'm sometimes rather quiet in posting on other people's pages, so I totally understand it.

This is ME!!!

Don't have it...I think it looks too busy. I like it simple where you look at the profile picture first. I think they could make the profile picture a bit bigger...but thats just me.

I'm the odd one out - I actually like it a lot. I like having a banner picture across the top, and have had a lot of fun looking at what my friends have chosen for their banner pics. I opted in early so I could get used to it. I'd read a couple of articles that said to get rid of any "embarrassing pictures or posts" because they'd be more easy for people to access with Timeline, but I'm careful about what I post, so I don't have to worry about that. And I sorted through my pictures back in July and deleted a bunch. They weren't anything bad or embarrassing, just unnecessary. At any rate, I really like Timeline. I think it has a more creative look than the plain look it had before.

That's a good idea.I've deleted some posts i didn't like.

I'm having a hard time getting used to seeing it on friends' pages. But like everything, it will just take time to adjust to. I'll probably end up waiting to switch over until they force me to though. Like you, Savannah, I need to go through and delete a bunch of pics, not that I have anything I'm not happy with really, but just unnecessary, like you said. I guess I'm worried about the privacy of Timeline? I've seen some posts on FB that make me nervous about it. Should I be?

I guess you have to change the settings again

I don't care for it, mainly because a stalker would find it quite useful. Strict privacy controls would take care of that problem, but I've found that very few people use the privacy controls to their full value.
