You should know that Facebook has gained a certain level of infamy. Not only are older people (specifically employers) familiar with it, but depending on your privacy settings (which many are ignorant of, or too lazy to set), you entire profile is readable to whomever has even a generic Facebook account. Rumor has it some employers look at your Facebook account before hiring, often without notifying you (probably because they have no legal oglibation to). Also, your 'networks' allow complete strangers to look at your profile. Now, complete strangers aren't really the problem. When people who dislike you with malicious intent view your page, however, the complications are only so limited as their imagination or your penchant for sharing information about yourself. As with all internet social utilities, you must also ask yourself how far we are detaching from real contact . More and more people accept instant messages, e-mail and internet profiling as meeting someone. When you meet someone face to face, it is hard enough to gauge who they truly are--what chance, then, is there for you to assess someone who's only identity is exactly who they say they are? At this rate we won't even be shaking hands anymore.

Whatever personal information you put on Facebook is there for ever. You can de-activate an account, but you can't remove it. Also it has been rumoured that Facebook is actually a CIA data mining operation. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but stranger things have happened.

Disadvantages · Overcrowding · Weakening long distance relationship · Unsupported by physical adjacency · Contributes wide-range procrastination · Rampant addiction · Stalking is possible · Acquaintances be labeled as friends Hope it helps you.

All of your personal information and activity is obtainable.

The whole tagging thing. All it takes is one tagged photo of a drunk night out (or worse) to ruin your day (or life).

Tagging, and thats about it, I really love the chat thing.
