I have a love hate relationship with facebook. I post a fair number of pictures on there, mainly for the grandparents to see what's going on. I don't like phone calls, and never call them. So this way they can see what we're up to. I share less than I used to a few years ago. Depends on my mood.

Nobody wants to hear about homework wars or how I hate my job, so I only post the interesting stuff. That skews reality a bit, but so does any communication.

I go back and forth between making my stuff public and trying to target it to specific individuals. Depends on my mood.

I hate how FB follows you around to different sites and recommends connections for you based on all their knowledge and how they track everything you do and sell that information. But I like seeing what my friends are up to and having a convenient place to share pictures.
