facebook & a favor
Hey everyone,

My data privacy class is studying facebook and data risk.

(this is not meant to be a meem, this is for homework)

As a favor then, tell me

What do you use facebook the most for? for example--finding friend's cell phone #. remembering birthdays, photos, stalking cute guys, etc

you can drop me an email or leave a comment, which ever with youre more comfortable.

Thanks a Bunch

I use facebook very rarly and almost exclusivly to find contact information for those who are not in CMU. Occasionally to attempt to map a picture to name.

Mostly for contact info and keeping track of birthdays.

I also use it as my primary means for sharing photos online; I don't use snapfish or any other service like that.

Pretty much to see if anything's changed with anyone. The default friends' page has a list of people whose profiles have been updated. I'll scan that and think "hmm, I wonder what she's up to" (click) or "hmm, i wonder if he's found a girlfriend" (click) or "what is that stupid user pic?" (click)

I used it once to stalk my assassin target. Not very successful.

I declared a facebook account several months ago, entered some basic info, and got bored with it. Sometimes it sends me messages that random people have friended me, and usually I log in and friend them back.

Amusing: When facebook asks how you know someone, there's a tickybox marked "I don't even know this person." But Facebook won't let you select it.

I do not know if this datum is relevant, but I have always refused to make a facebook account.
