The photos I post on FB are mostly throwaway ones, many taken with the iPhone (in fact, the only place I have EVER posted an iPhone photo is FB). I do occasionally link to good stuff, but a link does not give FB any rights to the linked content (oh yes, they can publicize the LINK itself if they wish--be my guest, then I get more hits on my web page). In general, I am amazed at the number of threads on Facebook complaining about the service. If you hate it so much, then just stop using it! For someone like me, with friends and family on five continents, including children at university abroad etc., Facebook is a godsend. Not only does it make it much easier and cheaper (as in free) to keep in touch with them, but it has also allowed me to re-connect with long-lost friends, including classmates from elementary school in Denmark in 1970s. It's all about how you use the tool.
