I think that says more about your colleagues as individuals than facebook itself. Many responsible adults who apply common sense to using that form of social media, cause no problems for themselves at all.

You can turn the "followers" setting off on your own profile
(marywooyeah and Judi)

I have followers activated on one profile so that people will still see my postings without having to be my friend, useful as I do have a lot of friends

j.e.j.

Not a Facebook person myself, but the idea of having a follower would freak me out a bit, too! I've heard of people following celebs on Twitter, is it a similar thing?

There are altogether too many numpties and twits around for my liking but fortunately I don't know any of them personally. Or at least, I don't think I do.

My profile is set to "private", I never accept friend requests from people I don't know and I never EVER have Faceache friends whose only connection with me is through work. It's a couple of members of my family who are in serious danger of being de-friended if they don't buck up.
