I've noticed on our ttcftft grad page (as well as all pages on p.org now) that there is a facebook like link. It got me thinking how so many of us (when we first joined p.org) loved having a place to come and talk about ttc, etc without everyone in our lives knowing about everything. I'm not on facebook but I'm assuming many of you that are have friends that are family members, etc. How do you feel with how public and interactive p.org has become with other social media sites?! Do you want to intertwine it all so it is possible that IRL family and friends can find you here or do you still like coming to p.org and keeping the rest separate so that you can have some privacy here?

Just curious!

I keep them seperate. I have not liked the pg.org FB page. I am a member of my BB and this groups private pages on FB. If there was any unwanted over lapping, I would probably stop going to one of the two websites.

I also don't mix the two. Especially with all the TTC stuff and my long history with pg.org, I have no desire to share it with people I know irl.

I've "liked" pg.org on FB, but that's it. I've told my best friend about these board (and she's on here now). But that's it. I've liked soooo many things in FB that I seriously doubt if people think that something more is up with me and pg.org. I like the two being separate. Just like my military wives forum which is by invite only. I love that it's that way and no way do I bring that over to public FB.
And like Joy said, only my two best friends IRL know of our fertility challenges so I don't want that over on FB b/c it's still really upsetting to me at times.

I liked the FB page, but I prefer them separate. I too like having a place to talk to other Moms without everyone on fb knowing all the details.

ITA. DH and my RE are the only people who know my full IF experience. I don't want to share it with others IRL.

I really like to keep them separate as well. I have one friend on preg.org but she is one of my best friends who would hear all of this stuff from me in person, so that's no big deal. I probably shouldn't say this here but I have way too many preg.org friends on FB. It's not that they are not nice people or anything but I feel like I don't know a lot of them very well and I start to get people confused. I just didn't know how to friend some and not others, without feeling like a jerk. That does not include anyone on this board!!! Mainly girls from my BB's who may not post that much.

I go through and defriend often when I don't talk to someone for a while, or know them ILR. maybe it's time for a cleaning?

Probably. But, won't it look strange if I am still friends with someone they are friends with and then realize they are not friends with me? Oh, the drama of social media.

Nah....I bet most people don't even notice. Expecially if you don't communicate with them often. Either that, or I've pissed off a lot of people.
