While true, is this just the first example of a social site that has gotten big enough to attract your parents? Or is this the first site your parents will, for lack of a better term, abandon just like others did with myspace?

Serious question: Did your parents think you might be groomed on MySpace by perverts? Were the worried for you in any way? (In this context of course, I'm sure in general they care about you!!!) See, a lot of parents sign up to facebook because of the various scare stories, and want to monitor their kids. I know quite a few in that category.

On the other hand, I'm a parent and I signed up before my kids even knew FB existed. My parents have not signed up, and likely never will. Neither will my parents parents, but then Im not sure they even know what a "facebook" even is.

I have since closed my facebook account. Unless places like here are some how called "social", I don't do "social" at all. Well, I do, but I don't call sitting in front of a computer social. I call it giving over personal information so a web site can make money. Not that there is anything wrong with that, its fair enough for those who want to partake. But to me, that is what it is. I communicate with friends via email if I have to use a computer to do so.
