Just a bit more personal.
You have total control, over who you share things with.
There's certainly more control over who can have access to you, than having a public blog on Accy Web.

My blog is only public because that is how I
choose it to be on Accyweb....if I wanted, I could make it private and only visible to the people who I want to read it.
And yes I accept that for some, facebook is a useful tool, but it seems a bit invasive and insidious to me.........all the companies want you to'like' their products, TV programs want you to 'like' them.
Perhaps it is a generational thing too........maybe the young folk who walk around with their phones seemingly welded to their hands need it to feel some sort of validity....which is entirely the wrong message they should be getting........and I
do feel that perhaps they measure their popularity/value by the number of frriends on their facebook page.....this is because thy haven't got the maturity to realise what real friends are about. Virtual friends are no substitute for real friends.........and I know that you G, John, and Less are old enough to know that, and have developed real live friends.
I'm not sure that some of the young folk on facebook know how to make, and keep friendships.
Again, this is purely my opinion on the subject, and doesn't amount to much.
