I got the ultimate revenge though. . . I ignored my daughter's friend request when she finally sent an invite (out of guilt I suspect).  HA!  Who's laughing now?<br><br>And yes, I am twittering too.  Guess what? She started stalking me.  Or is that supposed to be "following"?   ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[AURAAUNLIMITED]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 7th 2009 7:20PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/03/07/facebook-full-of-geezers-over-30/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/03/07/facebook-full-of-geezers-over-30/</guid><description><![CDATA[I hate to break it to you, but most of the people on facebook were on facebook before they even went to college. They might be saying facebook is for the over 30 crowd, but I also hate to break it to you, most of us "youngins" are having to teach our parents the ropes on facebook from posting on a wall to uploading pictures. <br><br>My mom also happens to be a friend on my page because I'm not embarrassed to have her on my page - my friends also have her added as well. Just because you hate your daughter doesn't mean every other parent hates their children.<br><br>My mom also twitters and we're on each others pages.. not that I really use it because I'm on enough sites and only have time for a few since I'm in classes. <br><br>So before you start going oh look at us adults taking over blah blah blah - just remember - facebook was founded by a "kid" and it is run by "kids".]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Heather]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 7th 2009 9:34PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/03/07/facebook-full-of-geezers-over-30/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/03/07/facebook-full-of-geezers-over-30/</guid><description><![CDATA["I hate to break it to you, but most of the people on facebook were on facebook before they even went to college."<br><br>no they weren't. up until the last year or two, facebook was reserved only for people in college. it wouldn't let you sign up without a valid college issued email address. sure NOW there are people who have accounts before they go to school but they aren't "most" people.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[SoCoolCurt (PSN: KillaKornbread - XBL: SoCoolCurt)]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 8th 2009 9:32AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/03/07/facebook-full-of-geezers-over-30/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/03/07/facebook-full-of-geezers-over-30/</guid><description><![CDATA[Excellent post!

I would hope that the majority of people on the site are over 30, considering I could care less about who Tina is going to Homecoming with, why you are grounded this weekend, or some other garage band that you will be rocking out to this weekend at your local java shop.  There are plenty of other alternatives for the bubble gum crowd to discuss mindless crap.<br><br>Have a nice day! : P]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ah Children]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 9th 2009 4:14PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/03/07/facebook-full-of-geezers-over-30/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/03/07/facebook-full-of-geezers-over-30/</guid><description><![CDATA[I dunno......my daughter and her college friends all have accounts, I think it's a mixed community.

I think they made a big mistake opening it up to everyone. My friend's parents are on their as is my boss' wife. Even with privacy settings facebook is not what it used to be. I personally do not like that anyone can set up a page I would rather something be left just to college students. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Maria]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 7th 2009 9:28PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/03/07/facebook-full-of-geezers-over-30/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/03/07/facebook-full-of-geezers-over-30/</guid><description><![CDATA[This could be a simple mathematical result, because kids can't sign up under age 13, right?  So there would be less enrollments under 30 to swing the average, whereas there's not an upper age limit on enrollments.  I think they just used 30 because I would say most, but not all, people are parents by then, but 30 year olds are by no means "geezers".  Poor choice of word by writer.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rebecca]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 8th 2009 9:46AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/03/07/facebook-full-of-geezers-over-30/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/03/07/facebook-full-of-geezers-over-30/</guid><description><![CDATA[That's why facebook has 'privacy settings'.

You can choose who see's your status updates, information, profile, etc. And if you are going to be making comments that you wouldn't want your Boss/Parents to see, maybe you shouldn't be making those types of comments in the first place. (in my opinion, of course)  And if you are so worried about your boss/parents whoever else seeing comments/profile/information that you would rather them not see for fear of being fired or whatever else the reason may be,  Then I would suggest if it's your boss then why tell your boss in the first place you even have a face book account?   ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Nick Saint]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 7th 2009 11:28PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/03/07/facebook-full-of-geezers-over-30/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/03/07/facebook-full-of-geezers-over-30/</guid><description><![CDATA[If you think people are already considered old geezers, after turning THIRTY, then I really feel sorry for you. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[KARIN]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 7th 2009 8:22PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/03/07/facebook-full-of-geezers-over-30/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/03/07/facebook-full-of-geezers-over-30/</guid><description><![CDATA[I''m with you!  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mona]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 7th 2009 9:48PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/03/07/facebook-full-of-geezers-over-30/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/03/07/facebook-full-of-geezers-over-30/</guid><description><![CDATA[It's just AOL and its affiliates being retarded again.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[realfgyti]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 8th 2009 4:27AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/03/07/facebook-full-of-geezers-over-30/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/03/07/facebook-full-of-geezers-over-30/</guid><description><![CDATA[I am over 40 and have had a facebook account for over 4 years due to the fact that I was going to a major university in 2004.  So it's not like the under 30 crowd were the only ones allowed on it.  Saying it's dying and the younger kids need to get off is just stupid. Obviously Warren Riddle just doesn't get it.  The privacy setting makes it where people see what the creater lets them. In fact, the younger the "friend" ~ the less they see of mine. LOL... Heaven forbid that they see we over 30 people have fun too.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[debbie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 7th 2009 9:42PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/03/07/facebook-full-of-geezers-over-30/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/03/07/facebook-full-of-geezers-over-30/</guid><description><![CDATA[campusbuddy.com is what facebook used to be and much more.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ned]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 7th 2009 8:29PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/03/07/facebook-full-of-geezers-over-30/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/03/07/facebook-full-of-geezers-over-30/</guid><description><![CDATA[I accept the old geezers, if your hiding something your weak and fake!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[sepirioth]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 7th 2009 8:29PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/03/07/facebook-full-of-geezers-over-30/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/03/07/facebook-full-of-geezers-over-30/</guid><description><![CDATA[  What is age its a damn number and has nothing to do with how one feels.
