Have begun exploring Face Book and found many qualities that I enjoy. I have kept it secure for selected friends only to view and communicate. What I do enjoy with friends and family is sort of keeping up to date on what’s happening as my brother is in Peru at the moment. Anybody have any comments or awareness from experience or what I should be aware of?

Here is a funny take on Facebook someone sent me "I am trying to make new friends outside of Facebook while applying the same principles.
Therefore, every day I walk down the street and tell passers-by what I have eaten, how I feel at the moment, what I have done the night before, what I will do later and with whom.
I give them pictures of my family, my cat licking his nonexistent manhood and of me gardening, taking things apart in the shop, watering my lawn, standing in front of stores, driving around town, having lunch and doing what anybody and everybody does every day.
I also listen to their conversations, give them the "thumbs up" and tell them I like them.
And it works just like Facebook! I already have four people following me: two police officers, a private investigator and a psychiatrist. "

Oh, and one other thing Ed, when you put stuff out there for everyone to see, basically "sharing" your data publicly, that's exactly what it is, public.
Regardless of what all these goofy disclaimer notifications say about the unlawful use and/or distribution of the content.
Managing one's privacy settings, IMHO, is important. But when your "friends" opt to share their stuff, well it's like unprotected relations....you never know what your going to get lol.
This is from the Facebook legal department, note line item #4.
FACEBOOK:
Statement of Rights and Responsibilities This Statement of Rights and Responsibilities ("Statement," "Terms," or "SRR") derives from the Facebook Principles, and is our terms of service that governs our relationship with users and others who interact with Facebook, as well as Facebook brands, products and services, which we call the “Facebook Services” or “Services”. By using or accessing the Facebook Services, you agree to this Statement, as updated from time to time in accordance with Section 13 below. Additionally, you will find resources at the end of this document that help you understand how Facebook works. Because Facebook provides a wide range of Services, we may ask you to review and accept supplemental terms that apply to your interaction with a specific app, product, or service. To the extent those supplemental terms conflict with this SRR, the supplemental terms associated with the app, product, or service govern with respect to your use of such app, product or service to the extent of the conflict. 1. Privacy
Your privacy is very important to us. We designed our Data Policy to make important disclosures about how you can use Facebook to share with others and how we collect and can use your content and information. We encourage you to read the Data Policy, and to use it to help you make informed decisions.
Sharing Your Content and Information
You own all of the content and information you post on Facebook, and you can control how it is shared through your privacy and application settings. In addition: 1. For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like photos and videos (IP content), you specifically give us the following permission, subject to your privacy andapplication settings: you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with Facebook (IP License). This IP License ends when you delete your IP content or your account unless your content has been shared with others, and they have not deleted it. 2. When you delete IP content, it is deleted in a manner similar to emptying the recycle bin on a computer. However, you understand that removed content may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time (but will not be available to others). 3. When you use an application, the application may ask for your permission to access your content and information as well as content and information that others have shared with you. We require applications to respect your privacy, and your agreement with that application will control how the application can use, store, and transfer that content and information. (To learn more about Platform, including how you can control what information other people may share with applications, read our Data Policy and Platform Page.) 4. When you publish content or information using the Public setting, it means that you are allowing everyone, including people off of Facebook, to access and use that information, and to associate it with you (i.e., your name and profile picture). 5. We always appreciate your feedback or other suggestions about Facebook, but you understand that we may use your feedback or suggestions without any obligation to compensate you for them (just as you have no obligation to offer them).

I usually deactivate my account during the summer while my wife is off during the summer. She's a school teacher and our hours are opposite so during school we only see each other on weekends mainly. I work 3-midnight.

I would never have a FB account with my real name, in business I can not see it being a plus.

I opened a Facebook account a few years ago (very short lived)...I had started a concealed carry holster making business and was told that Facebook was a good way to get my product out to the surrounding public...Posted pictures of my holsters and at first it seemed to be a good idea...Sold a few holsters and made a few extra bucks... The downside was that in a short time my site became a favorite hangout of every anarchist , anti-establishment, lets make a stand against the government type in the area..,Not Good,and not what I wanted to be associated with being a pastor in one of the local churches....A guy learns by his mistakes....deleted the account, lost interest in the holster making business and went back to shooting muzzleloaders....never looked back.

For the old fogies like us, face book is a good way to stay in touch with friends, family and share photo's. But, do not say anything, post anything or otherwise that you wouldn't want the whole world, which includes friends, relatives and co-workers to ever see.
There was a time when we all picked up the phone or sent developed pictures from the last vacation to certain people to share. This was basically a very secure way to communicate and share. Now, these same communications are sent on a website, via electronic posts. They are 100% available to those that wish to fish them out. They are stored forever and retrievable by hacks. You and I may share seemingly innocent communications. Garden photo's. Hunting pictures.
The minute you share seemingly harmless info you are putting yourself out there. Telling someone that you are leaving town for a week? Maybe you will get robbed. Making a general comment on your sister-in-law's behavior at a party? Family members will fish that out and you will be chastized.
I will never submit to the allure of social media. It's poison and will eventually bite anyone unexpectedly. It is very convenient and easy to get involved. Big brother LOVES this stuff and is very happy that many people document there lives, positions and ambitions to the whole world. Mine may be minor and so may be yours. But I refuse to just give it up to the whole world.
"I would never have a FB account with my real name, in business I can not see it being a plus.
edge."
Agreed. I would take this a step farther and say that even if you do not open an account in your own name, your electronic fingerprints, pictures (if you post any) and many other things will get you figured out.
A great idea on paper and a terrible idea for anyone seeking to be private. Not for me.

I use Facebook mainly to keep up with canoeing buddies, and old classmates. I don't put information out there that is very sensitive, so I am not worried about people mis-using the info, at least at this time. One advantage of FB, is that not only do you communicate with people, but you're using pictures which can ad a lot.
