FBGirl79 17 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I often hear folks talk about how much time they spend on facebook. What exactly are they doing? For you folks that spend a ton of time there, what's the routine?JI don't spend an 1/8th of the time there my wife does. But from what I can see it's a chance to about thoughts and to keep in touch/find others you haven't stayed in touch with instead of through E-mails.. Much like here... I guess I mean exactly how they do it? Is it posting on other people's walls? Or writing about yourself? JI probably spend more time on there than I should (kinda like here) but since I don't work now, I leave this website and facebook up pretty much all day on my laptop and check them both in between doing whatever needs done around the house. I will comment on new pictures, post on walls, etc. which eats up more time than you think. It is pretty easy for time to pass quickly when looking at old friends pages and looking for friends. I like it though, have a good mix of HS, college and grad school friends, old co-workers, family, church friends, and of course...FBGs on there. Link to post Share on other sites

Punk 16 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I log on to check messages..similar to checking e-mail, for a few minutes. I'll read a few of the status updates that are witty. If I'm on for any length of time, I'm probably playing the free poker to pass some time. Link to post Share on other sites

I was wanting to know how to do facebook without it being obvious I was a dork. For messages, do you mean messages on your wall?

CBusAlex 1,588 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I guess I mean exactly how they do it? Is it posting on other people's walls? Or writing about yourself?For guys, it's mostly posting on other people's walls and reading messages posted on your wall.For girls, it's posting on other people's walls, reading messages on your wall, reading messages on all your friends' walls, reading everyone's status updates and analyzing them for subtle shots at you, reading your ex-boyfriend's wall, reading the profiles of every girl who's posted on your ex-boyfriend's wall, creating fake accounts, sending friend requests to all those girls, and spreading rumors that your ex-boyfriend has an STD, and posting pictures of yourself making kissy faces at the camera.
