Re: Sharing things with relatives & friends. how often? how much?
I don't believe in advertising ones life on FB and posting pictures and status updates about everything.
Re: Sharing things with relatives & friends. how often? how much?
I am like your wife too.. and umm my husband is like you. My reason for not sharing is totally different though. I don't really care about nazar and all.. I just say that no one cares what we are eating, what our kids are doing. I don't care what others are eating or if their child got an A in Math. I am also a very private person, I don't share much with my parents or my in laws. Yes when there is something good, something big enough to share, sure share with parents.. but never on facebook. Its no one concern what we are doing, most people don't care really.
Re: Sharing things with relatives & friends. how often? how much?
My mom is like your wife DC6. She also fears the buri nazar thing. I am also not very fond of ‘showing off’ over facebook since I also tend to think that people do show off when they mention where they have been eating out and all. But I don’t mind sharing pics and all when I get a new hair cut or do something crazy just to show my friends and get their comments.
All this places/ pic showing off is nothing as compared to the showing off of the love between husband and wife and the fiance and fiancees 
Yeah we know that you love your SO alot and you don’t need to prove that to the whole world :halo:
Re: Sharing things with relatives & friends. how often? how much?
Well I'm with you DC6 and so is my SO. We share personal stuff.
For example while I was on vacation in Australia I posted I was going and the people who wanted to meet with me either commented or messaged me. I take a lot of pictures of anything and that is often uploaded on facebook so people can see.
I don't really understand the constant tagging posts that people seem to do. Its very annoying and wish people would stop...
Re: Sharing things with relatives & friends. how often? how much?
LOL, I used to post things and let's just say everyone had a problem! people would get upset I went somewhere without them, family would get upset why did I write that, people would show up to places where I was, it was a mess. Now I don't do it and people are like you never tell anyone where you are. Sigh

Well that feature exists on facebook. It is a part of that website. I always tell people that if they have problems with facebook, then don't join.

I don't have a problem with FB its the people who use it and seek attention
example
"LOL OMFG LOOK AT THIS
@jack @Syed @ali @Zeba @Jill
some picture"
Re: Sharing things with relatives & friends. how often? how much?
I don't think there's anything wrong with sharing little things like birthdays, awards, etc. In fact, its cute. I like seeing posts like that and always try to remember to congratulate people.
On the other hand...when I see a picture that is too pretty or too cute of my nieces or nephew...I don't share it. I do believe in nazar and love my brats too much.
Re: Sharing things with relatives & friends. how often? how much?
One word of advice - Facebook Places is horrid! Even if you have a private FB profile, you're inviting trouble if you're announcing to the world that you are not at home at a particular time.
And as for bhabhi, I actually tend to agree that you shouldn't overshare information on FB. With close family who you know will be happy for you, sure. But not everything needs to be known by others. Others might even feel entitled to ask personal questions in the future because you had shared something else about yourself and family in the past.

Re: Sharing things with relatives & friends. how often? how much?
I don’t mind sharing stuff with relatives and friends, but for the most part will not do it with social media. I also won’t necessarily go out of the way to tell anyone. For my parents and inlaws, we could call them and tell them about it. Aside from that, it would have to come up somehow for most others to hear about it.
Re: Sharing things with relatives & friends. how often? how much?
I do believe in sharing small happy moments with your close friends and family members and relatives....... WE don't meet them regularly now although we live in same city thanks to our busy life............ through fb we come to know about small and big achievements of our relatives and friends. its a good way to share those memorable moments............... and it makes sense to me...
but to tell everyone where are you exactly by tagging places like "i am @dunkin donuts sea view" it does not make sense to me............. why are you telling everyone where are you with whom and why etc... it does not make sense
Re: Sharing things with relatives & friends. how often? how much?
so none of u use Foursquare? or other location apps? pheww I find them as annoying as frequent stats updates.
Re: Sharing things with relatives & friends. how often? how much?
I get posting about Kids and their stuff but pizza hut 
. Why would you want people to know that you were at pizza hut?
