Other than on Facebook you can choose who sees what you've shared.
I know people only decide to post what they feel comfortable with on a forum such as this.
However, even though I've never met you, from what you've posted on a forum that's now available for the whole world to read, I know lots of things about you. From exactly where you live, your relationship, where you've lived and worked, and about your recent health problems.
If you'd have posted all that on Facebook, you'd have total control over who has access to the information you shared.

You may be right but I still feel more comfortable here, maybe it's shared origins, nostalgia or whatever. I did think hard before posting about my hospital stay, but I am glad I mentioned it because of all the support I have had.
Facebook seems to me very shallow with its meaningless likes and be my friend. Not my thing at all. And I don't particularly mind about not having control over who sees my posts here. I won't share if I feel I don't want it to be seen by whoever. And I quite like the way some of my nostalgia posts have been picked up by people searching the net, which has encouraged them to join Accyweb themselves.
