Facebook Etiquette Question:
Been dating someone about 6 months, we're both on there, she has about 500 pictures on FB to my 3. Many are from over a year ago and are of her with an ex-bf. Nothing bad just on vacations, parties, etc.
Sometimes I get sick of these pictures being up there but figure I'm just being jealous or an idiot so I don't say anything. Should it be common courtesy for her to remove these or am I being an idiot?
She's 24, I'm 29.
TIA

I think she should have removed them out of common courtesy. But if she didn't, I don't see anything to be gained by asking her to. Just let it slide.

Oooo, I have an ex-boyfriend's sister and ex-husband's brother on there, but mother?

OK, this sounds about right. Unfortunately there is little doubt I will try to make her guilty about it at some point, most likely after a bottle of wine. Thanks

Or you could just start posting a bunch of pics of you with ex-girlfriends. :X

Yes, at least. I find it ridiculous but don't think its that uncommon. Not sure what the point of it is.

The thing about pics is that if someone else posts a pic of you and tags you in it than it goes into your photo area.I know a girl (who is extremely hot) that only has about 35 pics that she has actually posted herself......but her "photos" area shows about 500 total pictures from all of the random FB friends that take pictures with her when they are out and than post and tag her in the pics.

Facebook apparently changed their user agreement recently. The newest change not only gives them the rights to use ANY info/material that you upload, but it gives them those rights even if you decide to delete your account!!!
Seems odd to me as well, but I would go with krista's instincts on that over mine.I've never heard of it being common courtesy to do that.

I just do not enjoy seeing pics of her with other guys she's banged, I think that is thinking like a guy. Wasn't sure if it was common courtesy or not to remove certain pics, so I asked the questionWell, I'm thinking like a girl, and it seems the guy asking the question was, too.Seems odd to me as well, but I would go with krista's instincts on that over mine.I've never heard of it being common courtesy to do that.If this is considered common courtesy I may have some deleting to do...
I plan to forget the whole thing.

Unfortunately for you, Facebook can still use everything you've ever posted to Facebook for whatever means they want. They can even sell anything that you've uploaded to other companies to use.

(CNN) -- Under fire from tens of thousands of users, the social networking site Facebook said early Wednesday it is reverting to its old policy on user information -- for now.
Backlash against Facebook began after a consumer advocate site flagged Facebook's policy change.
The site posted a brief message on users' home pages that said it was returning to its previous "Terms of Use" policy "while we resolve the issues that people have raised."
The "Terms of Use" is the legalese tacked on to the bottom of most Web sites that details what the site's owners can do with the information that users provide.
Facebook, the Web's most popular social networking site, has been caught in a content-rights battle after revealing earlier this month that it was granting itself permanent rights to users' photos, wall posts and other information even after a user closed an account.
The popular site allows users to create personal profiles where they can then connect with one another, upload photos and share links. The site boasts more than 150 million active users.
Member backlash against Facebook began over the weekend after a consumer advocate Web site, The Consumerist, flagged a change made to Facebook's policy earlier in the month.
The company deleted a sentence from the old Terms of Use. That sentence said Facebook could not claim any rights to original content that a user uploaded once the user closed his or her account.
It replaced it with: "You may remove your User Content from the Site at any time. ... (H)owever, you acknowledge that the Company may retain archived copies of your User Content."
In response, Chris Walters wrote in the Consumerist post, "Make sure you never upload anything you don't feel comfortable giving away forever, because it's Facebook's now."
Thousands of indignant members either canceled their accounts or created online petitions. Among them were more than 64,000 who joined a group called "The People Against the new Terms of Service."
On Monday, Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg tried to quell the controversy by saying the company's philosophy is that "people own their information and control who they share it with."
But members were not appeased because the site did not fix its Terms of Use. The company, in its post Wednesday, said it was returning to its previous Terms of Use because of the "feedback" it had received.
"As Mark expressed in his blog post on Monday, it was never our intention to confuse people or make them uneasy about sharing on Facebook," company spokesman Barry Schnitt said in a blog post. "I also want to be very clear that Facebook does not, nor have we ever, claimed ownership over people's content. Your content belongs to you."
Schnitt said the company is in the process of rewording its Terms of Use in "simple language that defines Facebook's rights much more specifically."
"Well that worked pretty fast," wrote member Al Reford of Vancouver, British Columbia. "Numbers count when giving feedback
"
And Shahrzad Grami of St. Paul, Minnesota, added: " YAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!! nice job guys! i won't be canceling my account after all."

I've been asked to join facebook, and I have a few questions for those in the know:
(1) First there was myspace, then there was friendster (neither of which I joined).... now facebook. Why should I join facebook (and go thru the effort to set up my own page) if it's likely to be replaced by the "next big thing"?
(2) Do people get offended if you turn down their request to be your friend? Example: a next door neighbor in high school would likely ask to be my friend -- I don't want to be his friend, but don't want to be rude. What's the shark move here?
(3) I don't think I like the potential of worlds colliding. Example: I don't want some people to have potential communications with that stripper I dated in Phoenix. Any thoughts on this?
(4) Do you have the ability to delete "messages/shout-outs" that other people leave on your page? Example: I don't want a co-worker to see that a high school acquaintance wrote "party at Steve's house" on my page.
Thoughts?

(1) That's up to you.(2) It depends on the person. I haven't turned town a request if it's from a person I actually know, as I don't see any reason not to have them on there and then just limit them through settings.(3) People can't communicate with your other friends unless they are friends with them themselves. You can also set up groups and settings so that they don't see each other.(4) Yes.

It's a website not a home equity loan.
MySpace is horrible, and was popular only because it was first. (I don't know anything about friendster.) Facebook is much better than MySpace. It could ultimately be replaced by something better, but now that it's the leader (like MySpace was) and doesn't completely suck (like MySpace did), it will be hard to displace, IMO.
Yes.
Sure they can. They just do it through message-writing instead of wall-writing.

Not if, as I suggested, you set up groups and settings so that they can't see who your other friends are.
