If I wanted to connect with people outside of the college world, I would have joined my space. I am seriously considering deleting my facebook account.
Parents have no use for facebook, their lives do not go beyond the neighborhood they live in and their old friends from college anyway, so why would they need to meet people?
What the heck is up with facebook? Why do they want to let the general public on? We could feel safe on facebook because we knew there were no weird middle-aged men looking at our photos and no porno bots (like myspace) trying to add us as friends every 5 minutes.
