I am a 46 yo mom and veterinarian and Sunfish sailor. My daughter has been interested in Facebook and my knee jerk reaction has always been..."no way don't you know there are perverts out there!".
After the recent postings of Sunfish photos on Facebook I decided to try it first to see if it was OK for her. Well, I have a Facebook site and not too many friends. Most of my friends are my nieces and nephews,children of my friends, and kids from our sailing club, all under the age of 22. I have a couple Sunfish friends...Eduardo I believe being my oldest friend. I recognize the faces and names of some of the Sunfish people on Facebook from Midwinters in 2007, I am sure they did not see me as I was WAY back in the fleet. So far no perverts.
I do think kids (and adults) need to realize that everyone can see things you post, depending on your setting I suppose. This includes questionable photos and questionable language. Don't say or show anything you wouldn't in a room full of family and friends.
Overall I think it is pretty cool. I am sure all of my daughters friends are wondering what the old mom is doing here. I let my daughter set up a site but I know her password and she knows to use common sense when posting.
So....we are seeing who has more friends.Old Geezer....I could use you now!
