A miserable little pile of secrets?

My understanding was that Facebook is the polar opposite of "secrets".

Facebook is what you put into it. I resisted for years...finally I was convinced to at least have a page...I don't put much up there but it has allowed quite a few old friends to find me. For that it's worth it.
Lock it down and it is less annoying.

I mostly hate reading facebook. I read stuff about old friends and classmates that I never wanted to know, don't care about, or just get irritated by. I am sorry, but I hate seeing junk like my friend from 4th grade who links I should support X candidate in the next election, or how the girl who lived down the street from me when I was 10 just got drunk last night and vomited on her own shoes.
On the flip side, I like getting a bit of news from my HS and college friends. Who is married, has kids, working where, etc. It is also been great for my wife to connect to her family and friends back in her home country. It has been priceless in that regard.
I guess I take the good with the bad. I use a generic photo and leave out my personal info, and I don't really post anything or play any games. I check in every couple days at work, but that is about it.

I don't really care much for Facebook. Partly because the people who I really want to stay in touch with generally aren't on FB. It did allow me to get in touch with a couple of cousins whom I had a Hell of a time tracking down otherwise. However, in retrospect it probably was better not to find them since they turned out well... troubled.
Facebook causes a lot of superficial problems. I got a nasty email from my brother's fiance about me fussing on her wall. Seems FB was showing my wall posts on her wall and she thought I was posting them directly. I have a fairly lax stand on language when it comes to cursing as long as it's not overly gratuitous. But she wanted zero cursing. I told her to block me and to read my wifes posts instead. She didn't like that. Oh well. Not like I read her wall about how many months she's been sober.
