My friends and family seem to have enjoyed reading each other's posts (including myself) and it has a positive objective - which is to be introspective and serious when you are composing your responses. I didn't detect any "little whtie lies" and it wasn't a waste of my time to read their posts. I even learned more from their responses that I had not known before.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Susan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 16th 2009 6:06PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/02/16/25-things-you-should-know-about-facebook/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/02/16/25-things-you-should-know-about-facebook/</guid><description><![CDATA[just remember,an employer may see what you have in your profile.this may jeopardize a possible job!<br>never do anything your great grandchildren would not be embarrassed to see!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[virginia]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 16th 2009 9:10AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/02/16/25-things-you-should-know-about-facebook/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/02/16/25-things-you-should-know-about-facebook/</guid><description><![CDATA[I believe you meant "would be embarrassed to see"]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[sal]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 16th 2009 11:08AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/02/16/25-things-you-should-know-about-facebook/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/02/16/25-things-you-should-know-about-facebook/</guid><description><![CDATA[virginia @ Feb 16th 2009 9:10AM<br>just remember,an employer may see what you have in your profile.this may jeopardize a possible job!<br>never do anything your great grandchildren would not be embarrassed to see!<br><br>This is true, look at the Stewertist that was fired over the pictures on myspace.

For those of us who still live in the red states of the United States, what you have is goverment by the cops and the prosecutors of the cops and prosecutors and for the cops and prosecutors.

From what I read of your statement, I would be very afraid if you were representing me.  You can't even spell and punctuate your sentences correctly!

I've read the lists of people I know well, people I don't know so well, and people I knew a long time ago, and almost all of the lists contain intriguing tidbits that make me wish I knew the person reading them better.  Maybe your Facebook friends are reckless, but mine are not.<br>And to the people who thing it's boring, maybe you need to take a look at yourself and  wonder why your friends are so uninteresting. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[BB]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 17th 2009 2:51AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/02/16/25-things-you-should-know-about-facebook/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/02/16/25-things-you-should-know-about-facebook/</guid><description><![CDATA["A Texas Lawyer"  translation = please take me hunting for farm-raised quail released for hunting by Vice President, Dick Cheney, and others on Katharine Armstrong's south Texas ranch, so while hunting these quail, Cheney can accidentally shoot me,...., with his 28 gauge shotgun, from a distance of thirty yards. <br>yeeeh haaw!~]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sir Skiddy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 10th 2010 9:21AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/02/16/25-things-you-should-know-about-facebook/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/02/16/25-things-you-should-know-about-facebook/</guid><description><![CDATA[Who do you think you are telling us how we should create our Facebook pages. It should be up to the individual to decided how they want to design their Facebook. We don't need organizations like yours telling us what pictures to post, what to say, how much to say and how to utilize anything. Keep your opinions and idea's to  yourself because part of the fun of Facebook is being an individual and just because YOU think someone is induldgent doesn't mean you're corrrect. The idea of everyone doing everything the same way based on someone elses views is the same thing that brought Hitler to power.

Only people you WANT to see your stuff can see it!!!  If people choose to let the world see it - that's their business but it isn't as "let it all hang out" as you make it seem. <br><br>Facebook is a user designed entity - we are not victims of facebook. It doesn't harm you unless you do harm to yourself by posting something and allowing access.<br><br>25 things is a fun way to share stuff about yourself. Mine probaby fits in their dull category - but my friends liked it and I liked theres. I don't see harm in it.  This just sounds like part of the  "I'm too intellectual/good/special for facebook because its popular" backlash to me.<br><br>What's next? Superpoke Pets mess up your carpet???]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[RevKellie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 16th 2009 10:27AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/02/16/25-things-you-should-know-about-facebook/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/02/16/25-things-you-should-know-about-facebook/</guid><description><![CDATA[This facebook is for morons.  I joined to talk to family and close friends, every day some loser from High School would try to contact me for small talk.  If you are one of these people that does this, it is very annoying.

I closed my facebook account and don't miss it at all.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[phil]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 16th 2009 10:36AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/02/16/25-things-you-should-know-about-facebook/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/02/16/25-things-you-should-know-about-facebook/</guid><description><![CDATA[Orrrr maybe you're just an anti social freak. ;D<br><br>All they want to do is talk to an old friend; doesn't mean they want to stalk you.<br><br>Jerk.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Carrie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 16th 2009 12:59PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
