Do you use social networking of some kind?

[Zanza]

Google+ is alright, but it doesn't give me anything that I don't get on Facebook. And it just has fewer people registered, which obviously lessens its social network value.

[The Brain]

Fuck you, I don't answer the door why would I use social networking? It's incredibly homosexual.

[DontSayBanana]

Facebook and Google+.  I had MySpace... back when I was still in high school.  I seriously haven't touched that in almost ten years.

MySpace was only launched eight years ago.

I'm not even in the phone book.

It should be multiple choice. I use Facebook and LinkedIn.

I ended up joining Facebook this year for the purpose of talking to my own mother.  I don't update it very often and when I do, I wish hadn't, but there you go.

I'm not even in the phone book.

Same. I don't answer the door either. I'll make sure you have my number if I want you to be able to contact me directly. Else, use email or call the office.

Sometimes I answer the door.  Other times I hide.  When I do answer the door the person knocking usually regrets it though.

Of the choices: "None of the above."

Meanwhile, in Ireland ...

Facebook faces major Irish privacy investigation

Facebook faces a major probe by the Data Protection Commissioner (DPC) following 'big brother' type privacy complaints.

Facebook's Dublin HQ will be subject to a massive audit by the Irish watchdog after a group in Austria lodged 17 complaints, claiming that even after Facebookers delete information the social media giant's Dublin HQ keeps everything: data on who you've poked, tagged, 'liked', emailed, phone numbers -- even information on sexual orientation and political views. It can amount to thousands of pages of information about you, the group, called Europe Versus Facebook, asserts.

Every Facebook user outside the US and Canada is protected by Irish privacy law as the company's international headquarters is here.

"We will have to go and audit Facebook, go into the premises and go through in great detail every aspect of security," said a DPC spokesman. "It's a very significant, detailed and intense undertaking that will stretch over four or five days. Then we'll publish a detailed report and Facebook will respond."

Facebook's spokesman said that the company was co-operating with the DPC. "We are aware that some complaints have been made to the Irish DPC by individuals in Austria," he said.

Mark Zuckerberg's social networking colossus has in the past faced a slew of complaints from users about how it manages privacy settings.

"We've communicated with Facebook already and it is preparing responses on issues that have arisen on the complaints," the DPC added.

"We'll be looking in great detail at how data is handled and what actually happens to your information and whether any changes need to be made, or if people need to be made more aware of what is happening to their information."

Bono's private equity firm Elevation Partners is a major shareholder in the €100bn valued social media giant.

Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter as well as several others (not MySpace) all for business marketing purposes.

Options 1, 2, and 4.

I never answer my phones and rarely go outside. On the rare occasions that I do, I wear a mask and latex gloves. I sign all documents with a stamp facsimile of an "x".

[Iormlund]

Precisely the main goal of not being in the phone book is to know precisely who has my number, so I can pick it up without being unduly bothered by spammers, annoying relatives or stupid clients.

I fire a gun through the door.  I figure that the only kind of people that really want to see me wear bullet-proof vests anyway.
