Hi, I'm The Voice of Don't-Go-On-There:
Faceyspace is a time-wasting drama bomb that consists of people you didn't give a shit about in high school (or vice versa) and their ugly babies. Shallowness doesn't begin to describe it. It's all about status and vanity and all those zany antics that you share with your drinking buddies... broadcast to the whole planet. Pointless updates, mildly useful events and sometimes you can get a phone number to someone who owes you money or whatever. Employers look at it. Your family looks at it. Your current girlfriend looks at it. Your former girlfriends look at it. Weirdo stalkers look at it while listening to Q. Lazarus' Goodbye Horses. It's a freakshow of made-up faces and pretentious poses. Avoid the nightmare and stick with your email and your cellphone.
I fail to see how any employer would use it to judge you in a positive light. It's a social site, not Monster.com or USAJobs.gov.
...
If you do use it: keep your profile extremely bare bones, as private as possible, and use it as a research tool for potential dates.
...
You'd be better off at Onion.com or Literotica.com if you wanna kill precious braincells. I'm a big fan of keeping myself to myself.
