I personally use it to stay in touch with friends and family. But a few of my readers e-mailed me with their\u00a0thoughts\u00a0and I thought I would share.<\/p>\n<p>One reader asked me how I feel about friending in-laws. Do I do it and where does the line stop?<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I have accepted my in-laws as my friends on my Facebook page. \u00a0I currently have my mother and father-in-law and then my sister-in law. I also have a few of my husbands aunts. It might seems like a bit much to invite your extended family that you personally do not know to be your friend on Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>Another reader asked about accepting the friend requests of people I barely knew in high school.<\/p>\n<p>If I really\u00a0didn&#8217;t\u00a0know them then I\u00a0probably\u00a0am not going to accept their friend request now. I&#8217;m happy to let them send me messages and then maybe if I feel the need to accept the request I might do so later but I think it&#8217;s pretty stupid just to want to add me just because we went to the same school.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, another reader asked about friending people from work.<\/p>\n<p>Well, that&#8217;s a tricky subject. I suppose it depends on what you post on your wall. If you posts things you wouldn&#8217;t want your co-workers to see then don&#8217;t friend them. My wall does not have anything I\u00a0would\u00a0be ashamed of\u00a0showing\u00a0my grandmother on it so I&#8217;m pretty safe in that department.<\/p>\n<p>What are you thoughts on what you consider before adding someone as a friend?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I posted about Facebook earlier on in the week.
