Title: Will I Someday Have To Have A Facebook Account To Pay...
Post by: Lola on October 17, 2012, 10:20:11 PM
...my electric bill online?  Seems a Facebook account is required, or HEAVILY suggested, for soooo much.  Irritating as heck.  Am I officially a crabby old lady?   Bumpurr1

Facebook to pay your electric bill?  What on earth?

I hate Facebook.  the only reason I keep an account is so I can be in touch with my nieces and nephews.  I don't text and they don't e mail, so I have to use the private message system in Facebook to connect with them.

I was just being a smartasp.  Seems soooooo many websites require a person to have a Facebook account.  I'm just waiting for my electric company to tell me that I can pay them online, BUT I have to do so through my Facebook account.

Did you know that some employers now require access to their employee FaceBook pages? It varies from requirements to be friends on facebook with your boss to some place actually requiring password access. That is why as far as most know I am NOT on facebook. I use an alias and have no pictures. As far as I am concerned, what I do outside the work place is NONE of their business...

I remember reading about a major chain requiring access to employees' Facebook accounts.  Can't remember what company it was now.   :-\

If they REQUIRE that info, they're not worth working for.


Or, I'll just create a dummy account  :P
