I had a Fakebook page and it got closed down because they judged it a business, an organisation, etc, I didn't use my real name. And some people were amazed that I didn't use my real birthdate. Would you advertise, across the world, half the data that your bank require?

Mind you there was one person who posted some pretty egregious stuff - it was no loss. I never Twittered.

If Martin Carthy says he can't see the need, I can understand.

Fakebook is a time waster and it can become the biggest consumer of your time, because Fakebook set the agenda. They decide what you see, and they have algorithms that don't fit your interests, they fit what sells. I got shown endless pictures of cars for sale - Martin doesn't drive. (or didn't last I heard).
