I need to ask a favour.  So don't answer until you have given it some thought.

I am trying to contact a friend I was in Infant School with; then I moved house, we met up again at College then lost touch.  I am going to write to a different address ……… a proper letter  :o

But if anyone could ask on Facebook for me ………  :-\

I would CLKD but I don't have a Facebook account.

It's really quick and easy to set an account up CLKD. The only reason I don't have one is my kids have threatened to disown me .....Now there's a thought.

You don't have to post any info that you don't want to but it would enable you to look for your friend.

I had a very brief go at facebook - once.

Didn't get on with it. Reasons:
  Had to supply all sorts of personal information before account was set up.
  Once on, kept getting things (emails I think) from people wanting to be my friend
  Having decided to come off it found this was much more difficult than you would think.

Never again.

Sorry CLKD dont use facebook as I value my privacy.   There used to be a site friends re united you could maybe see if thats still on the go - it was pre-facebook times.

Good luck in finding your friend.

I love Facebook. As long as you remember that anything you post could potentially be read by anybody at all, it's a great way to keep in touch with people from all over the world. In addition, life would be less fun without the Scrabble app and other similar time wasters. I'm happy to do a search too, if it would help you.

My sentiments entirely. Plus its little icon popping up when I was on other websites - so it was tracking me. Spooky.

I have been on facebook for years now and wouldn't be without it, you can keep it as secure as you want to, mine is just family and friends, if you read the rules and checkout what you need to do for privacy (many don't) there shouldn't be a problem.

Honestly I can't think that info on my FB is of any use other then  to the people I want to see it. It is not set for the Public Domain.

You can set your browser ie. google to not target you and I have eg adverts.

To be honest it tracking me would not bother me I have nothing to hide and I am only one of millions in the world using facebook.

Forgot to say you can set it so that only you can see your info and no one else, so if anyone visits your home page they can't see it.

I have only just joined facebook.

Does anyone know how safe the messaging is on facebook ? Is it private like sending a pm on here ?

I have contacted a friend in Oz and have given her my other email address in a facebook message to her as i don't know how else to contact her. Now wondering if i have been a numpty and how safe this facebook message is as i have just literally joined then messaged her  :-\

Thanks for any replies
