I think you can edit your friends and people you subscribe to so that you won't see every single thing any of your friends posts so if you did that it might cut down on your FB time.

After my experience with the people who stoled all my blog posts and photos I no longer put anything on the web that I don't want stolen. My attitude is - anything I put on the web can be copied and used by other people. As long as they give me credit and link back to me then it is ok.

I am not on Facebook, Twitter, or Pinterest, so I feel like it's something I really know nothing about. I really appreciate your views, and all the time and trouble it took you to inform us of this. I don't think Pinterest is going away, and only getting bigger.

I never thought a thing about people stealing other people's pictures. I have not ever taken a picture from a blog, however, I guess when I pin someone elses that is exactly what I have been doing.
