I don't know if this is stupid question but, how does Facebook make money? Is it only from advertising? If it is, i really doubt that. There are only few advertisements on Facebook for them to make that much money! I apologize for my ignorance. I'm sure everyone knows the answer :)

If you want to see how they make money, look up the cost to buy advertising space. I's per viewer, you buy how many users will see it and can tune it to things listed in their profile interests. I unfortunately have done this before. For example, you can buy 10,000 views from users that list "guns" in their interests.

advertising, mostly. but also by selling Facebook "credits", for use within games.

But you can remove all info and replace it with dummy data, right?

That's what I did before I deactivated the account...as much of it as I could. My saving grace is that I did not post a lot on the site. I used it to chat with my friends in California.

Does she love your guitar that much or are you always buying new guitars? :-D Or maybe you always say that but, never buy a new guitar?

:) New to me that is. She'll ask me why I need another guitar, then how much does THIS one cost. Maybe I need to start a social network to pay for my hobby.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Wouldn't an e-mail have sufficed?

Good idea! Start a new facebook so you can buy as many guitars as you as want. ;) It must be hard, having a wife. I don't have one. I can't experience those kind of things ;P

You are kidding me right? You have to know that chat and e-mail are two different things.
