Facebook - why?

Why does Facebook allow others to see your browsing history?

I would be interest to see if there are any statistics available to indicate the percentage of people who use FB in relation to their age range.  I would guess that this percentage goes down with age - meaning the older you get the less likely you are to use it.  On that basis, perhaps it is a way of the Club reaching the 'younger' generation.  Just a guess....

I wonder how many people have been burgled just because they posted something on facebook??

Thieves used to go by the wedding and funeral notices in the local paper.

Thieves can use numerous aids available on the internet. Those videos posted on estate agents pages not only give a feel for the house but often show the contents too. Google satelite view is handy to take a look at the best entry points on the property and social media sites often give information an who is away from home.

Unlike on here, there is not much the Club does not respond to on it's FB page, but it is all very frivolous. My guess is it is also being censored.

I thought much the same Peedee and the club said on here  it would be "controlled."

Write your comments here...My experience suggests that it is the other way around. ;-)

Write your comments here...I have to agree. Facebook is known as the Granny's favourite. .  Younger people use the many other social media alternatives.

I eventually managed to close the Facebook association that I had so no more notifications about meaningless nothings.

Facebook is used by all ages - Every single one of the students I currently work with has a facebook account - this is the norm, to have one who isnt on FB is unusual.  They are mostly 16-19 year olds but they range from 14 to 52 this year. 

It is a useful tool for getting information from a wider range of people than you would usually meet in a personal context, and you just filter out the drivel and notifications.
