Anyone use it?
I've recently joined it and it's pretty decent (well done, coded, on a good track, etc. compared to OTHERS). I'm not that big of a fan of these "social" sites and the main reason I joined was because of a girl. *sigh*
Anyway, almost none of my friends have an account and I need friends!
So yeah, if you use it, let me know.
Facebook (http://www.facebook.com)
-
Oh wow, they opened registrations to anyone now.
So I joined for the hell of it. How do you add people?
-
What's your profile link?
This is mine (http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=503354841)
-
This I guess (http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=504744400)
-
Btw, I was bored, so I created an Overwritten.net group (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2212051603).
-
And I joined! Go me!
-
Hurray for our 2 member group!
-
I just sent you both invites and joined the group. Yay.
Everyone at my college uses it. It isn't that exciting or anything, but it sure beats studying.
-
I dont understand how these sites are supposed to work, but that doesnt stop me from registering at them.
-
Ditto
-
Heh, theres people on here that I remember from grade school. Havent seen them since 5th grade.
-
I have facebook but I use it quite a bit and I'm afraid that you'll embarass me
-
You will join the OW group and we will take over this small portion of the world!
-
I have Facebook but I will likely remain unanonymous :P.
-
Chickens!
-
You guys are so lame. Join the damn group! WHO CARES!!
-
Their e-social life might get pwned! OHNOES!
-
BTW, this is much nicer than myspace. You know, as if it was hard to be better than myspace or something.
-
Ditto x 2 :P
-
I'm on it. I kind of like to keep my real life (I only have classmates and friends on facebook) and my ender personality seperate. But its cool that you guys have a group and all. So bravo for that!
-
I joined. My picture is my baby nephew, who is quite possibly the cutest kid ever. Plus, I'm hiding from the serial killer that I know lurks on these boards :-[
Raisa....
-
I'm on it. I haven't logged on in forever though, I just don't check it anymore I guess. It's the best of the social networking sites though.
I'll add you guys whenever I login next
-
Actually, it's more that I don't want any of my friends finding out about this place, instead of vice-versa.
-
Who the hell cares? I am proud to say I know you all!

I completley understand. OW.net is an escape from the "real" world. Merging them together dissolves this.

Here's mine. (http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=502262800)
I remember seeing it about a year or two ago, and I ddin't bother signing up because I had no interest in my university crap. A friend of mine told me about sometime last month, so I decided to check it out and see who's on, surprisingly enough almost everybody I know is on it! I'm still digging around looking for people I care enough about to put on my list.
Yeah, I'll add you guys :P
-
I hate social sites, so I can guarantee you I won't be there.

I generally have the same attitude (I can't stand hi5), but with teh formality and layout of this site I couldn't resist. I think it's gonna be a legitimate way to actually stay in touch with people.
-
I stay in touch with you guys already -- you know, here. And I don't really like other people, so that's more than enough for me. =)
-
I trial-ballooned over there, but . . . I felt uncomfortable, so I doubt I'll go much further with it. It's all lies anyway.
-
Not really since Facebook is meant to network you and your old classmates (originally). It's surprising seeing a whole bunch of old friends or people you know again... maybe not in person, but to talk to them again or something. I've just started going on Facebook myself, but it's a neat concept.

Oooh :-* Hehe thanks :P
Aren't you a model/actor??

Eh, I just acted in some college plays. I got too lazy to pursue it actively haha.
-
Anyone on Facebook?
No.
-
Facebook works well for me since pretty much everyone at school is on it. Then as people go to different universities it's easy to stay in contact with them. I don't see the point talking to you guys on it since we can just do that right here.
-
Yeah, I've been on for a while and I just added a bunch of you to my friends list, so....yeah....please accept or I'll be crying hysterically when I go to sleep tonight. :(
-
i signed up and put one picture and forgot my account.
-
I'm on Facebook now. I just set it up so there isn't really anything on there right now.

-
Anyone on Facebook?
Yes.
Would you link to your page?
Probably not.
-
I've got an account, I never went beyond setting it up though, I've been through and checked on a bunch of old friends but never put anything up on my own page.
Anyway, now the group has nine people :-[
-

Girls, dude. Girls.
-
That's the only reason I joined the site in the first place.
-
There isn't a lot of use for that when one is married. Unless said married person is a total dick and willing to embrace their inner adulterer.
-
Im on myspace I and completely fucking hate it. I was on there once, then I made the right choice and got off of it, then I turned into a dumbfuck and now Im back on it again. Im on there for a few friends as it does give me an update on whats going on with them sometimes, its also helped to find music. Everything else it does to people is absolutely horrible.
-
I hate Myspace because it's ugly and cluttered. Everyone's got to have flashing animated GIFs, two music videos, a song, and a purple background with lightning bolts or some crap like that. I like Facebook because it's clean, and seems more functional.
-
I've been considering using Myspace for a music page for my stuff... but that would be about it. On that level I think it works pretty well.
-
I hate myspace for the same reasons as scott. It looks like a compilation of Geocities pages from 1993.
-
I dislike all of them.
PERIOD!
-
hooray facebook!
-
I hate them all too, and I agree with Ant and scott. Yet somehow they still got me... (http://www.myspace.com/therumoredend)
-
Yeah, I've been on it for a week or so. It's alright but nowhere near amazing as some people like to make out.
I'm going to add all of you under the condition that all contact between us contains the words 'the package' or some other awesome international spy term. This is a double edged sword since I think it would be way better for my friends to think I might be a super secret international spy rather then I'm a super secret guy who has 'inter-friends'. Or pretend we're bank robbers....yeah...lets do that.

A guy at school directed me to his website and it totally reminded me of this post.

I haven't seen an "under construction" GIF since 1997 or so.

Haha. I'm going to go with "some other awesome international spy term." "The package" sounds like it might be someone's cock and balls.
-
Scott, you already broke the one and only rule. We are now officially members of GI Joe.
-
lol, sure.
-
I am indeed on facebook
I'm pretty sure cools is the only one I have added
anyway, my name is Pearce Richards if you want to add me
... Sorry gpw, "package" just sounds way too gay.
"I delivered the package alright... right to your inbox"
-
Simon Fraser, eh. I was considering applying there

it's a decent school... I enjoy that it's over 60% female

Well, can we at least still pretend to be spies? Or mercenaries?
-
We just need a better code phrase
"I'll be arriving at the side gate, the password is Rainman. The avenue is clear, over."

Why hello there Pug, and welcome to facebook. Some advice:
-post a profile pic. It really spices things up
-make it so only friends can see your profile. It's more mysterious and makes people want to be your friend.
-post lots of drunk pictures of yourself
-creep out on all the pictures of the girls your friends know. See who they're friends with and come up with a plan to sleep with them.

This is essentially what facebook is all about, as from what I can see in the limited time I've been using it so far.
-
Well I just added myself cause of Scott's invite and that's about it. My ID is pugnate@gmail.com so ADD ME.
:P
-
I don't look like Sean Penn.
And beyond that, who the fuck is Peter Clayton? Beo?

OMG NO NAMES
-
My last name is Smith, not Sterling.
-
Unless you've just been lying to us all this time. Which would be a deplorable and despicable thing to do.
Also, my name is Able Magwitch.
-
Shutup.
We all know your real name is Quemaqua.
Your wife's name is Julia Maqua.
-
Julia Maqua sounds like a fancy drink at a mexican restaurant.
-
2 parts Triple Sec, one part coconut, and... one Mexican. Blend *well*.
Bonus points to whoever can tell me who Magwitch is and prove that they've actually read a book.
-
Oi It's "Abel Magwitch" and I didn't really enjoy that book!
Great Expectations was just not my cup of tea. The movie sucked donkey bollocks!
The South Park rendition of it was pretty good though :P We finally got to see Pip's story :P
-
I'm going to go into a corner now and weep for humanity.

Hehe sorry man :P I know many would argue that Great Expectations is Dickins' best work, but I preferred A Tale of Two Cities and Oliver Twist (though I only like Oliver Twist because I grew up hearing the story and I just really appreciate it now).
-
I totally agree with you Xessive. Great Expectations sucked. Well, it didn't suck but it was real boring.
-
I hate all of you. Though I agree that Tale was better. Never cared as much for Twist, though I haven't read that one since I was a kid. There's still a lot of Dickens I haven't read in the first place.
