Anyone here on Facebook?

[dc68]

Anyone have a facebook profile?

[Grunt]

Not me, My sister asked me if I was interested. Is it the same as MySpace? I have MySpace but I forget to update it.

[Bruce]

I'm there.

[Moe Norman]

I signed up the other day as a last resort trying to get in touch with an old mate.

Found him in abuot 20 seconds, now every old dickhead I've ever met is coming out of the woodwork...!

I've disabled all the options so I don't get e-mails everytime someone puts in a 'friend' request and other assorted crap. I just check it once a week and its reasonably useful.

[dc68]

I think it is better.

[Grunt]

Just joined up.

[markTHEblake]

I have had invites, is this actually worth it?

I get invited to one of these things every second week. There is scores of them.

[AndyP]

I'm there. It doesn't do much for me.

[Johnny Canuck]

it's fantastic for me being someone that has changed continents. it is much more convenient and easier to stay in touch with people than email, as you can get away with only writing a couple lines and not appearing rude. it has some fun little side options (also some useless ones too, that you just don't install). it is more of a communications tool than myspace, in my opinion.

i avoided for ages until the wife signed me up, and now i love it. i am in touch with people i haven't talked to in 15 years.

[poidda]

Yeah I'm there. The basics are great. I find it very useful to letting mates know what I am up to, but cant be arsed sending emails. Actually come to think of it, I have been got around to updating this either.

But like Moe, jump on once a week or so and check out what people are up to.

[Fishman Dan]

I got an invite yesterday. Is it worth the time away from Football Manager 2007?

[amanda]

I'm on Facebook - unfortunately, students keep trying to be my friends!

[shazza_rs]

Me

[Bruce]

We've had so many people leave here in the last 3 months Facebook has become the tool of choice for keeping up with where everyone went.

I can't remember a Friday in the last 3 months that hasn't had someone's farewell drinks.

[Moe Norman]

is it impolite to ignore friend requests from dickheads you went to high school with, that by all reports, are still dickheads?

[dc68]

Were you rude to them at school? If so I can't see any reason to change.

[Moe Norman]

I wasn't rude to anyone at school (except a few teachers maybe)

[Ducky]

=;

[Grunt]

FaceBook is heaps better than MySpace.

[damoocow]

As I pretty much hate everybody I can't imagine anything worse than having to put up with more of them..............

damoocow

[Rusty]

same as Blakey and Ducky - there's so many to join, though facebook is certainly growing quickly. i'll just keep it to ozgolf!

[Jarro]

I just received an invite to join this as well ...... not sure whether it's a good thing or not ????

[AndyP]

Annoying mostly, but useful for catching up with people you haven't spoken to for ages.

[Jarro]

I think i'm gonna sign up for this to see exactly what it's like.

Anybody wanna be my friend :mrgreen:

[3oneday]

Anybody wanna be my friend :mrgreen:not me...

It seems the staff here, aged under 21, are into MySpace...

[Grunt]

Seeing as a few of us are on Facebook. I started an OzGolf group on it.
It can be used as a place to post pics from any games we play.

[dc68]

Which one of you is Andalf?

[Grunt]

Which one of you is Andalf?

Andalf?

[dc68]

On warbook......

[Grunt]

ohh, have not tried it yet so it wont be me.

[AndyP]

Which one of you is Andalf?
Use your imagination, dimwit. I don't think I'll play it anyway, it's too slow.

[dc68]

Thought it might be you.

[Courty]

[Jarro]

Always on the ball aren't you Courty ;)

[Courty]

Just looking out for you social networking tragics. ;) :p

[Jarro]

So what's the general consensus about this place ?

Is it better than mySpace ?

[dc68]

Hell yes... no random friend requests from porn sites...etc

[AndyP]

I'm starting to hate it, and am about to go on a rampage of blocking people.

[markTHEblake]

ICQ, Yahoo, msn, ozgolf, myplace, myspace, friendsfinder, schoolfriends, weluvjarro, facebook, too many.

[poidda]

Is it possible Grunt is the first person I remove from my friend list?!?! The amount of shyte coming from him is crazy! :)

[Bruce]

you can ignore requests - I know I do.
Join the group "**** off - I don't want to be a Pirate, Vampire, Ninja, Werewolf etc."

[Grunt]

Is it possible Grunt is the first person I remove from my friend list?!?! The amount of shyte coming from him is crazy! :)

Sorry Poidda & all:oops:

[Jarro]

Your enthusiasm knows no bounds Grant ;)

[AndyP]

Do it! Do it! Do it!
Alternatively, block notifications from those applications, so noone else can send them to you.

[Moe Norman]

you can ignore requests - I know I do.
Join the group "**** off - I don't want to be a Pirate, Vampire, Ninja, Werewolf etc."this was the first group I joined

[dc68]

Get on the punting thing I just invited you to. It Rawwwwwwwwks

[AndyP]

Like all that other crap you invite us too?

[dc68]

No.... this one is actually good.

[poidda]

Yeah funny that, I just automatically deleted it without looking.

[dc68]

Resent Poidda... have a look.

[poidda]

Resent Poidda... have a look.

Re-Ignored dc! Now **** off! ;)

[dc68]

:razz:

[poidda]

ok, I actually added this one seeing it "raaawwwkks". Tell me, if this one raaawwwkks, how shyte are all the other things you add? I dont get it? Is it just a tipping comp?

[dc68]

Nah you get to make bets on sports with "play money" with a chance to win ipods and stuff.

[poidda]

"* You have 20 invites left today for 200,000 bonus chips. Recruit em & win! *"

You selfish bastard DC! You're only using me for my play money!

[dc68]

:smt056 \\:D/

[AndyP]

poidda, in hindsight should it have stayed on ignore?

[Moe Norman]

i'll be ignoring it.

anymore invites to stupid shit and I might just remove Dave from the friends list!

[Jarro]

So far i have to say that this isn't really doing it for me :(

What's MySpace like ?

[dc68]

Shite

[Jarro]

More shite than Facebook :roll:

[poidda]

Facebook is excellent if used for what it was meant to. Getting/keeping people in touch easily. But when bored people start using it as a time waster, it just becomes a pain in the arse.

[dc68]

:p

[Eag's]

Ok just joined now how do I add some of you jokers?? ;)
My user name is Eagsey

[Grunt]

Just look up OzGolf
We have a group on there now.

[BrisVegas]

i caved in and joined. i feel so dirty.

[poidda]

i caved in and joined. i feel so dirty.

You're lucky you waited until DC was banned from using it at work. Sheeesh. :roll:

[dc68]

Screw you hippy.

[Bruce]

I will just point out one key feature of Facebook.

When you get a notification or an invitation to an application there is a button marked "Ignore". Make this button your friend.

[poidda]

Correct Bwooce.
If I have to ignore one more stoopid vampire thing......

Yeah I wish there was a "Ignore Forever" button.

[BrisWesty]

Yeah I joined up. I'll go find ozgolf at some stage.

[AndyP]

Yeah I wish there was a "Ignore Forever" button.Just block applications instead. My first facebook email notification for ages came from BV today. It's still not enough to get me in there.

[kristofor]

I been signed up for a little while. Joined the ozgolf group.

[goughy]

I just read this thread! I don't know how to use msn. Years ago I think rob listed me on schoolfriends or something! Some guy who I hated in school (probably used to beat me up or something) messaged me (email or something) with a 'how ya going/remember me/what ya up to/I'm a labourer on a farm and have like 8 kids to 3 different chicks' kind of thing. I never responded.

And I'm afraid I won't be on facebook either! I don't know where you guys find the time to keep up with all this! I have ozg and brighthand and pretty much no time for anything else! Of course, I have no access at work, I just have to do actual work ;)

[Bruce]

For those that are into that sort of thing - Scrabulous is the bomb.

(Yes it is just scrabble - but there's nothing wrong with that)

[Jarro]

You're such a nerd Bruce :roll:

:p

[AndyP]

For those that are into that sort of thing - Scrabulous is the bomb.

(Yes it is just scrabble - but there's nothing wrong with that)
Thanks to Scrabulous, I'm finding myself visiting Facebook more (although I still ignore or block most of the other crap).

Tonight I went on a messaging and friend request spree to people I hadn't seen for ages, which I should have done ages ago. That's what it is good for.

[just]

You have friends?!

[AndyP]

I have to wait and see if they respond first. They probably won't. I've burnt plenty of bridges.

[poidda]

You have friends?!

for some people family count as friends.

[Choppa]

I am into the facebook poker now. Pretty cool when you can just jump on and off whenever. And free!

[AndyP]

Free = boring.
Plus last time I checked it didn't work on the office PCs.

[Bruce]

I have been sleeping with one of my facebook friends for a while now.

[Dennis]

I have been sleeping with one of my facebook friends for a while now.

Good work Bruce.

I had a facebook page for a few months but shut down my account due to all the random things people throw at you
"Someone wants to buy you a drink"
"Someone wants you to do a quiz"
"Someone wrote on your wall"

etc....so annoying

[poidda]

Block the applications when you get them and choose your Facebook friends wisely. I hardly get any now.

[Dennis]

Too late...I've closed it down

Funny thing is I don't miss it one bit :-k

[jaybam]

Cant miss something you never had. Never used to spend much time on th computer till this bloody forum popped up. :)

[BrisVegas]

Next thing you know you'll be buying a HTPC, PVR, HD LCD TV and a TP AGSI.:lol:

[jaybam]

Dont have the TP AGSI but every thing else on that list is taken care of :) Oh and dont forget the HD plasma in the bedroom as well :)

[dc68]

Here Leigh

[Eag's]

I've turned 100k into 1.2 mil on the sportsbetting. How come its not that easy with real dough.

Because with real dough especially your own, you would not take big risks.
It is nice to dream though Rich ;)

PFFT........... I have over 12 Billion

[AndyP]

Why add someone as a facebook "friend", only to intentionally piss them off with this? http://pyrohawk.com/facebook/letscountto20000.php

****ing dropkicks!

[sms316]

Someone got up me for that yesterday, but I have no idea where it came from. Got me stuffed.

Better go back to just using the net for porn.

[henno]

I had the "I'm Awesome" one last week.

[Tomo]

Oh that Im Awesome one really pissed me off.

[markTHEblake]

I was pissed off too, but I got over it in about 2 seconds.

[BrisWesty]

Why? Because you're awesome?

[Yossarian]

SMS that 200,000 thing was very ordinary.

[sms316]

Moral dilemma: the ex-wife attempted to friend me up on Facebook last night. I didn't really like the bitch that much when I was married to her, but on the other hand she is a major pain in the arse (especially when drunk) and knocking her back might mean that she will continue to annoy the shit out of me in the future.

What is the protocol for this? At least my phone number isn't listed on there.

[Yossarian]

Just leave it sitting there for a few months, not denying or confirming. Also bump your privacy settings right up so she can't see any activity occuring on your account. She will assume you don't check facebook often.

Or deny the request and block her.

You don't need facebook to find phone numbers...

[markTHEblake]

accept the request then, post lots of romantic pictures and posts to show how happy you and the missus are. She will soon get sick of looking.
then later when you delete her, she wont even know.

I take it she's your ex for a reason. Why would you want her looking in your life. Still keen on her?

[sms316]

I don't. This could be a case of discretion being the better part of valor.


Still keen on her?
I'd go Dennis before I'd go there again.

[markTHEblake]

Pics?

[sms316]

Why do you want pics of Dennis?

[Yossarian]

Post 112 sums it up nicely.

[henno]

Pics?

$20 posted.

The bitch has messaged me 3 times today alone. Blocking is looking very likely.

^ This.

I've finally joined. It's so much easier to keep in touch with my family half a continent away. Also in touch with 3 or 4 cousins that I grew up with and haven't seen for 30 years.

Avoiding all the other rubbish.

[TheTrueReview]

I don't. This could be a case of discretion being the better part of valor.


.....

Don't worry about playing with settings. Don't accept the invitation and forget her. She won't go psycho, she'll simply go elsewhere & you'll be glad she did.

[WBennett]

Block Farmville, block horoscopes, block mafia wars.

Use facebook to stir up SMS and various others, and keep in contact with family across the country and overseas. You only need to put family/kids photos up in one place and anyone who wants to see them can.

I've reconnected with a cousin who I had not seen since I was about 15, and through Facebook I'd be more likely to attend a family reunion interstate to catch up with these people in real life, now I know more about them.

sms - I would have ignored her friend request for a for a week, maybe friended her if you felt like it, but then put her on ignore so she did not pop up in my daily feed. If she shat me off quickly, she would have been given the flick within days.

[McMw]

Am On FB - and 2days ago, I just won a "limited edition" TM Ghost Marker... :D

At least my phone number isn't listed on there. Bugger. I forgot to de-friend her. It took longer than expected, but a drunken rant appeared at 1:00am. Posting about depression when the ex uses that as an excuse for her being a rampant alcoholic. Who would have thought that would blow up?

[Marto65]

There are two in her profile photo .... you didnt turn her did you?

[sms316]

Who knows. She is Dutch and we all know how sane they are.

Do you have to type the swear words yourself to get an infraction, or is simply posting a picture with the word in it enough? Just asking.

It was a private discussion between gorillas. Nothing to do with infractions. They're an endangered animal. Leave them be.

Why are they talking in English then? Or should the subtitler be punished and not you?

So many grey areas.....

No. Blame Diane Fossey. She introduced them to American-English. American culture has caused obesity amongst gorillas. Now they're hooked on Facebook.
