As an IT person, I'm amazed how wobbly their site is after every change / upgrade...

That's because they rush changes out. In their own words at a recruitment event "changes you make this afternoon could be affecting hundreds of millions of users the next morning".

I don't see the attraction of Facebook and being an old-school IT bod I'm deeply suspicious of what would happen to my data if I did sign up. I might in the future, but using fictitious details.

Having said all that, and bearing in mind everyone on the Jeremy Kyle show has an account, if was flogging DNA kits or Burberry I'd be right in there.
