Well yes, that was me rather stating the obvious snoopcester Send a noteboard - 13/06/2012 10:56:12 PM
Again same. Although actually reading debates or discussions with some depth - on political subjects or others - are one of the more interesting things on Facebook, allowing you to see a side of acquaintances that you may not have known about. Way I see it, if someone on my friends list is involved in such a discussion, it'll teach me either what subjects could be interesting to discuss in person next time I see him or her, or it'll teach me what subjects to avoid at all costs... win-win, no? :P


That is a fair point.

Well, you can delete them afterwards of course, but yeah.


In theory but in general people treat it like they do a normal conversation, once it is said it is gone rather than that it is a form of permanent record.

I definitely think that will happen... it's one thing to do it on a site like this where, while many of us know the "real world identities" of many others, there's still a degree of anonymity at least towards strangers visiting the site. But on Facebook...


Yes, on Facebook it is all linked directly to a person's real name, their date of birth, friends and family, phone number, email address, photos, etc. Here it is all at least slightly hidden behind a username, not actively trying to find the person for you.
