Do You Facebook? (1 Viewer)

FairWarning said:
Any way to go through Facebook without people finding out? Like to check up on a couple of people.
Nope.
You can track people who search for you?
I don't have an account. Can you sign up but have no profile?
Most people's accounts are set up so that only their friends can view them. So the only info you'd be able to get is whether they have an account or not.
 
The worst thing about it is deciding whether or not to add people as friends who have requested it. I feel like a snob turning down people I kind of knew, but too many friends can clutter the thing up.
The option "less about _____" is nice for reducing clutter.In the future, you will see fewer stories about facebook addicted girl you kinda remember from high school.

Someone help me find this option. Not wanting to be a snob, I friended some chick I barely knew the other day and now she is posting updates every half hour about passing out her daughter's girl scout cookies, how she is going to do some work at home while her husband watches the Wings game tonight, etc...I need to limit this garbage from my page. Please help!

On the home page, scroll over one of her updates. An Edit thing should appear... click on it.

Or they can have it set up where their network can view. Some networks are region, university, high school, etc.I'm on Facebook, but I will probably stop posting or get off it altogether if they go back to a new TOS (which they had to revoke due to complaints) where Facebook practically owns all your content. To me, it's not worth it to give up your content just to connect with friends online.

Seriously, I worked hard to come up with "Maurile is looking forward to watching Lost tonight." There's no way I'm just letting Facebook have all the publishing rights to that. :mellow:

Thanks, man :mellow: She just posted another message (her 4th of the day) about wanting to make brownies tonight so I had to do something.

I thoroughly enjoyed "Maurile is updating his status"

Why don't you just delete her as your friend?

I just got three messages saying that 'Member X(three different friends) has reported you to Facebook for violating out terms of service- This is youir official warning. Click here to find out why you were reported."

When I clicked it, it gave me this application window:

"Allowing f a c e b o o k - - closing down!!! access will let it pull your profile information, photos, your friends' info, and other content that it requires to work."

And then asked me to hit a button allowing access.

Is this just a sly way of getting me to install an application?

 
Do you get many requests from people you don't know?
A few. If I have to look your picture up in the yearbook to figure out who you are, you're denied. If you're a friend friend of a friend and we've only met once, you're denied.If I "know" you in ilife but have never met you personally, you're denied. Sorry Finless, them's the rules.
You're pretty choosy for a guy with over 200 friends.

A friend if mine clicked it and she said it's a virus. I haven't seen it yet though.

This will fix it. LINK

 
just started an account this week.

pretty good for tracking down friends i haven't seen in 20 years. there is too much clutter though with all this boring chat between people that shows up on my page.

Is there an easy/effective way to promote a website to your network of friends?
Yep.1. Start a thread here about the website you wish to promote.2. Use the "share a link" feature on facebook to direct all your friends to FBG, where they will see the thread you started in step #1.Easy.

We should expect some juicy spring break pics to start popping up this month. :shrug:

GB teenage female friends. :rant:

 
OK, I set up some friend lists but now what? This would probably be easier if it wasn't in pirate...
Did this ever get answered? I just got my first request from someone I work with. I set up a "work" list, but under privacy it seems like the settings are universal. What am I missing?
 
Finally caved to the peer pressure and joined. Now I have one more distraction in my day...like I needed another.

 
This is my favorite....

Rebecca added you as a friend on Facebook. We need to confirm that you know Rebecca in order for you to be friends on Facebook.

Rebecca says, "Hey Brian, Becky C. again...Not sure how or why, but some of the ppl on my list got dropped. You may have done it...not sure. Just let me know cuz I am having glitches and want to make sure I know what is up before I contact fb...AGAIN. Take care!".

------------------------

Who the hell does this? I mean what does she expect me to respond?

Oh hey Becky, yep I'm the one that ignored you so no worries, there's nothing wrong with your Facebook. Take care.

Hi Brian, I'm just calling you again because, you know, you said you'd call me but I haven't heard from you, and I went out for a little bit earlier and I'm not sure if maybe my caller ID is broken, and also I was on the phone for a little while and I have call waiting but I thought you might have called me during the time I was dialing, and you know, I just want to make sure my phone is working OK.Geez. How awkward. I guess I'd just ignore her (again).

Yep, that's the route I took. I don't think there was really any other decent option. I guess I'm an ##### now. Oh well, I'm over it.
 
Girl 1 is white; Girl 2 is black. We all went to school together and are FB friends. Saw this on my feed yesterday:

[Girl1] wrote on [Girl2]'s wall:I sent the ghetto snack to all of my friends, sorry if I offended you, was not my intention!

This reminds me of the chick on He's just not that into you. :confused:
 
are you willing to be friends with anyone and everyone on facebook or do you like to have standards?

i've tried to be selective.

 
I've got a 15 year old cousin who's my friend on facebook, goes to Christian school, family is very conservative. I'm going to be posting videos of myself doing stand-up comedy on there, and I'm going to be doing a few things that I'd rather her not see. Is there any way I can block one person from seeing my videos?

I'm wishing I had never signed up.
Same here.I'm feeling a lot of pressure from mere acquaintenances requesting friendship.... and old chick schoolmates that used to want some of this... I can't friend them and let them see what a disgrace their stud has become.and the cripple guy I felt sorry for so was nice to him once or twice, then felt sorry for him again and confirmed his friend request... now all I get is requests to race or fight him in stupid facebook games.

:hophead: As far as the cripple guy goes... "Ignore all invites from this friend."

I accept everybody.Then I go through my friends list and defriend folks I really don't want on there (like the chick who had a crush on me in junior high and is now unhappily married). :hophead:
