Is Facebook for anybody?

I know Facebook technically is available for anyone, but should I use it just because it's there?

A woman never tells her age, but let's just say I'm a boomer (a young one though). In the last month I've gotten four Facebook invitations, two from friends and two from business groups. My twenty-something kids use Facebook all the time. When I told them I got invited to Facebook, they gave me that "please-don't-go-on-Facebook" look.

So, I think there's some kind of unwritten code (at least at my house) about what's acceptable in the eyes of Generation Y, regardless of what Facebook or any other social media site (i.e. MySpace) demographics will tell you.

Bottom line is this. Wile accepting a Facebook invitation might put me in the loop, it will most definitely cause eye rolling with my offspring. So until Facebook is normalized - within my four walls anyway - I'll probably not go there.

What do you think? Are you using Facebook or MySpace or LinkedIn or what? Let's talk about it.
