To be honest, I don't really understand hating on FB. If you worry about your personal info/privacy being violated, you don't have to put all the accurate information in your profile. You don't have to share every single status that comes across your mind, or every single photo you snap.. You can still see (more like stalk) your friends without having to post/comment anything. I haven't changed my profile pic for a few years, status, probably last one was on New Year just saying happy new year. Hardly post any pics. As for people posting bull-crap.. I take great fun in unfriending them (they'll notice that though), or the more covert way of "hide this post by XXX", do it often enough, you won't see that person's shit-posting. I also have a special friend group I create specifically for dumping ass-heads which I don't want to see anything I do but yet still maintain the friends link on FB so that they don't annoy me asking why I didn't approve their request.. The people in that group see my profile exactly how a stranger (non-friend) would see your public profile.. Anything you do/share which friends can see, those people can't. I am quite pleased in the way I manage my FB privacy control. It really pays to learn the ins and outs of their privacy setting.
I guess this is quite off-topic to Photobucket.. Sorry!
