Do You Facebook? (3 Viewers)

[Thorn]

I've found that there is an inverse relationship between someone's intelligence and the number of status updates they post.1 every couple of weeks? Cool.4 a day? ####### moron.

There's one dude I know, a divorced dad, who posts an update, essentially, that he loves being a dad and loves his son, every. single. day.

good for him. makes sure his son knows he loves him

I'm not sure that follows when you figure the kid can't read.

I set up a facebook over 6 months ago and only have 2 friends (one of which is a second fake profile i made so i could have another "friend"). Haven't had the joy of rejecting anyone as i haven't gotten any friend requests.I don't like this facebook phenomenon and am deleting my profile.

Can someone give me the 411 on the IQ test thing? I normally don't do any of these challenges, but some girl I've been talking to challenged me to an IQ test. So I do it, and it asks for my cell # (which is probably my first mistake). I take the test and score a 147 (is that genius level?). But to get my score I had to enter a PIN # and agree to some terms and conditions I didn't read to clearly. I think I just signed up for PlayPhone for $14.99/ month by accident. It says I've got 30 credits.

Are you telling me all these little games cost a monthly fee? Worst part is I can't tell if it even registered my totally awesome score and sent it back to her.

Umm...I'm going to go ahead and say you didn't score very high.

I feel ya. I knew I got every question right and it wouldn't show me my score without entering my digits. It was pretty much a vanity thing so I could talk some #### to her about my score, which was an incredible 147 IQ.

i gotta be honest. i'm on facebook a decent amount between work and home. but i don't get these people who do the ####### things on there, like send somone a bag of cheeto's? what the hell is that all about? i'm totally baffled by this fad.

 

[Tiger Fan]

looks like they've heard everyone's complaints and implemented a "hide" option for all of those stupid things that pop up on the home page. before you had to hide everythign from a cerain person...now you can just hide those apps

I'm not following you exactly. I still haven't set up my page really, or figured out anything. I did see your link with tips and will get to that at some point.One good thing that came from FB, and I can't believe some of the people I am seeing, is that I played golf with an old college buddy who was in town, and it was a blast, catching up. Never would've known he was here...Do visitors see exactly what I see when I go to my page? For example, when I add somebody, does everybody see that? Since there are some I'm not adding, I delete the newer message(s) that say I've added a person recently.

I just started this stupid thing and we'll see how long it lasts. (O/U 90 days)

So far, I despise the 'People you may know' feature or whatever. "You and x work together at __________ & __________." Oh yeah? So effing what?

Ex-girlfriends from high school that want to talk about their families? No thanks.

"I have a wife, two kids, and run marathons!" Oh yeah? I railed some 38 year old in the back of her car and deleted my number from her cell phone when I was done. Where's my medal?

And all these apps and people sending out invites and updates? Seriously, just kill me now. I don't care to know how you are wasting your time. Lord knows you don't want to know what I'm REALLY doing.

No diggity. All these idiots sending me friend requests. I knew you briefly in High School. I'm not your friend! I'm not taking any new applications for friends right now. And flowers? Patches of green? WTF?! Are we so desperately bored and disconnected that we feel the need to send digital foliage to people we barely know? Kill me.You know, I've been using message boards like FBG for about 12 years now. So Facebook really isn't that interesting to me.

 

[Senor Schmutzig]

It's a timewaster / productivity killer. That's all I need is ANOTHER timewaster to keep me from doing what little work I have to do. Isn't that what FBG is for?

Is Facebook more addictive the FBG? My wife is on Facebook but I haven't taken the plunge yet. I have thought about it to keep in touch with old HS/college friends that I would never have the time to talk to via phone/email, but I'd rather not have my personal life out there on the internet for anyone to search. Not that I am 100% secluded anymore anyhow since the family is on her page for everyone to check out. It can be locked to just allow invited access right? If I don't grant explicit access, how much can someone looking specifically for me find?Personally I have found the FBG forums a pretty healthy time drain when I am working at my PC during the day...not sure what having another site to monitor may do to what is left of my free time.

Here's the big difference: when I visit FBG, I usually laugh several times or learn some new perspectives. I get a lot from this board. Facebook is mostly inane, mindless chatter. This mundane #### that we all used to suffer through alone is now shared with the world. Why don't we save our urine and post that on Facebook, too? After all, urine is fascinating.

Jump on board. Faceobok is too dull to waste a lot of time on. You'll be fine.

Please tell me how to do this. I have about 90 of my 103 "friends" that I don't want to hear what they are doing every hour or looking at their ugly kids pics.

I accepted a "Friend" request from someone I went to HS with about 2 weeks ago. She sent me a message - "how are things, hope you are doing well" - and I replied and thought that was the end of it. She is the only "friend" I have on FB because I can't stand the FB phenom and don't want to participate in it. Anyway, my loathing of the site was validated when, in the course of the next 72 hours, no fewer then a dozen people I went to HS with asked to be my friend. Never mind that I didn't like them then and they didn't like me. Never mind that I haven't spoken to or thought about any of them in 13 years. All of a sudden I'm supposed to care what they are doing and they are supposed to care about me. I do not like Facebook.

When I first joined the site I was very selective. I only accepted friend requests from people I currently know. But one day some girls from my HS started sending me requests and they wouldn't stop. I finally gave up.Now, I think I'm "friends" with some people I've never even spoke to. Not once.

 

[Adebisi]

There are some people in this thread who are awfully bitter about life.

 

[Chiwawa]

I'm not sure if it's egotistical, narcissistic, or just plain creepy. I searched for those with my first and last name, found 44 of 'me', and went through and made friend requests with them all.I'm getting some funny, weird approvals.

Ha! I did that not expecting to find any (I have a fairly uncommon name) and found 2 others. Both in England.

I was pretty surprised to find 44 with my name. I'm no Joe Smith. My first name is Adam, and my last name(without getting myself wheelhoused) is fairly uncommon.I'm now friends with 7. All my other friends are wondering what in the blazes is going on!

Update: I am currently friends with 29 people with my name. I'm such an oddball

Anyone seeing a rash of facebook hacks and virus stuff? In the past 2 days I have had 3 friends accounts get hacked and were either sending PM’s trying to get you to click on links for “video of you” . Another one of my friends said this girl who he hardly ever talks to im’ed him saying she is in London and got mugged and needs money for a hotel. My friend was short on cash, so needless to say I did the right thing and wired them some cash myself
