Title: Anyone on Facebook?
Post by: Cools on Thursday, October 12, 2006, 11:13:26 AM
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)

So I joined for the hell of it. How do you add people?

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'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

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 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.
Title: Re: Anyone on Facebook?
Post by: Quemaqua on Thursday, October 12, 2006, 08:12:33 PM
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.
Title: Re: Anyone on Facebook?
Post by: iPPi on Thursday, October 12, 2006, 09:21:54 PM
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.

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.

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.
Title: Re: Anyone on Facebook?
Post by: scottws on Friday, December 29, 2006, 06:55:50 AM
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.
Title: Re: Anyone on Facebook?
Post by: Quemaqua on Friday, December 29, 2006, 07:44:57 AM
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.

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.

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

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.

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 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.
