Well, that's been my feeling all along
I think it's because they privately chat... kinda like PMs [huh]

I do, it's also an easy way to share photos with family & friends. My sister lives in Canada & I live in Australia, she's posted quite a few pictures of her baby (she's 10 months old now) I know she could email them, but it's nice sharing stuff like that with a (select) group of people.

I can see that. I'm not picking on anyone that uses it for that, but actually the people that talk about bathing their cat or that they went to the grocery or to start drama. There's a lot of drama on there :eeek:

For me, with most of my family living in the UK and me in the US, Facebook is a great way to keep in touch.
We share photos and videos and it is pretty much our main communication tool. Actually, FB and Skype handle about 90% of our family communications.

Actually an ex sent me a friend request on FB a couple of months ago - surreal. Though seeing his profile pic & realising that he has aged really, really badly was a schadenfreude moment.

Wondering if going public with my vintage orientation on FB will stereotype me in any way. I don't necessarily want to fall in with the kind of folks who make up the gushing, purring, nostalgia fanship on YouTube.
Right now I'm just an ordinary guy from Iowa who plays music.

I agree!
And one thing a lot of people don't realize is that Facebook not only stores/keeps your photos, but also your private messages (so really they aren't private!) Yes, even after you delete your account. They use your PMs for marketing purposes etc., to create better targeted ads and such. And boy does it work! I spoke once of a particular kind of candy to a friend in a PM, and then the next day, targeted ad for that candy showed up...and so on. Also...an ad was generated by FB using MY IMAGE (without my consent).
At least with email it's more secure. Though, we all know nothing online is 100% secure or private.
I don't mind that people like FB, I was on there for many years. However, their privacy policy changes and actions over those years, forced me to delete my account.
I like writing letters, yes REAL letters!
