I have a facebook page. I got it at the beginning when you needed a .edu e-mail to sign up (I am faculty at a big U.) I use it to stay connected with my kids and nieces and nephews, and they constitute 90% of my "friends". A few of my former med students have found me, which is nice. The other day a person who graduated from my undergrad school the year before I arrived who I don't know, requested to be added as a friend. I really don't have time to start a new circle of friends online. I probably check facebook about once a week or so. I have not installed any of the apps, and there really isn't much on my page.

Question: I have all my privacy settings on "Only Friends", but if I join a group, can people in that group who are not my friends see my profile, wall, pictures, etc.? Please let me know if you know!

They can only see your name and picture, not your profile if it is private. Even "friends of friends" can't see your pictures if you lock them-- some of my hubby's friends want to see pics of him that I have locked and can't.

And yes, I too am an addict. It's a great way to keep in touch with my med school and prior friends. Also to share pics and funny articles.
