Can I use facebook as a diary, like will it save my posts for a long time? - Emily - 12-09-2012 01:20 PM
I don't keep a diary but I like the idea. I was thinking I post something on facebook about once a day and I could just use facebook as a diary. Will facebook save my posts on my profile for years? Thanks for the help!

Well first of all, facebook has this thing called notes, which is saved for a long time. Second of all, if you are planning on keeping what you write in your diary a secret (which is what most people do) then I strongly advise against writing your diary entries on facebook as it can be seen by anyone.

We don't know how long Facebook will be up for, so if you want something that will last for a really long time why don't you write in an actually diary - on paper. If you post something on Facebook i'm sure it will stay on there for quite a while until you delete it or something. But do you really want people to see what your writing? A diary is something you keep to yourself of course, but another option can be: writing a blog. (If you really want to write it online)

as far as just the wall i sometimes have trouble going back very far, so look into these notes people are talking about, otherwise you could use dropbox as a makeshift diary

Who knows since FB changes it's policies every 6 months. But they may keep it online way longer than you wish. You'd have to be downright stupid to put your diary on a publicly accessible site. Use Windows Journal, or Onenote or some other journaling software and keep it on your own machine.
