This poll should allow multiple selections. I think Facebook is evil incarnate, but I'm now on Facebook - and I'm starting to get obsessed checking for updates.

For years I boycotted Facebook and hated when people sent me stupid Facebook friend requests. I finally gave in and joined a couple months ago when I saw there were a bunch of old friends there that I hadn't talked to for 25 years - and Facebook was the only way I had of contacting them.

So now people (and agencies) can track me and see my connections, but I make sure don't put too much identifying information on it - no birthdate, education, work, location. I don't ever use the stupid applications (why do they ALL need my personal info??).

One thing that REALLY disturbs me about Facebook is that you can't permanently delete personal messages. You delete them, but they still exist. That seems a bit sinister. Why can't they be deleted?
