So, I think I figured out what Facebook is now! It's part Livejournal, part Myspace, part message board, but about 100% more annoying than all of them combined. Sounds... COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nah it's just like myspace except myspace isn't cool anymore

and every persons profile ISN'T full of shitty html crap

Okay, what's twitter? That's just status updates right? What's the point of that?

because everyone needs to know what everyone else is doing every minute of the fucking day. apparently.

Cool, we should start that on here.

Currently: SY Gossiping.
Current mood: Horny and fucked-up.

..er, I guess that'd be all my status updates then.

I have, like, friends irl that, like, call me if they want to invite me to a party or want to ask me to go with them.

_slavo_ was right, Facebook is the shit!

here's an example of a party planned via facebook...

i planned a 20 year punk rock "scene" reunion back in june. it spanned high school graduates from about 1985 - 1991. there were a few of those people that i didn't know, but via facebook we could find them all (or find someone who still talked to them). and everyone made it to the party.. from as far away as cali, NJ and georgia. it was also helpful because you could RSVP via facebook or RSVP for someone else. it gave skeptical people the incentive to attend because they could see who was actually coming. you wouldn't get that with email, written invites or the phone.

yep, I know how that works, but my point is:

if

you have friends
and they have facebook
and they have similar interests to yours
and they all go to a nice party "organized on facebook" they know you'd be interested in
and they know you don't have facebook

then:
I suppose they'd call you to let you know about the party/event/wathever...

nayh?

are non-facebookin' people treated as rejects at parties nowadays?

Dunno, maybe I'm just too "old style" for this stuff...


btw: 20 year punk rock reunion????

ur old! :D

facebook reminds me of why i stopped talking to all those people in the first place

oh yeah. totally. we'd call them if we knew how to get hold of them, but if we didn't... we could find someone else via facebook who did know how to get hold of them. so no... people aren't rejected without a facebook. haha.

and i AMMMMM old.

here's a nice facebook story.

there was this girl that i friended on facebook to invite her to the party. she was the only one that i friended that i didn't already know. i knew of her back in the day, but she was 2 years older than me, so we never had class together. we started talking ON FACEBOOK at night because we thought each other were hilarious. we made plans to meet up on the coming friday. i asked her where she lived... she told me... i told her around where i lived... she said "oh that's funny because i lived in the **hundred block of ****. i sat there for a second because i live at the **05 block of **** which would be REALLY close to where she just said... then it was like BAM. i said "YOU'RE TINA. LINDA'S DAUGHTER." (linda was my next door neighbor for 9 years). she said "oh my god, you're jennifer.. jake's mom". and we've hung out every friday and saturday night since may. she lived with her mom for a year and then lived 4 houses up for 4 years. floating used to try to get me to go talk to her because he thought "we looked like we would get along". i never did. i should have.

there are people i don't want to talk to and people i do want to talk to.

you lose touch when everyone gets married and has kids. it was nice.

i didn't go to my 20 year high school reunion which was the same weekend. we planned it like that. it was the anti-reunion.

I think that depends on your friendship groups. Funnily enough, although I'm on facebook, my very closest friends in the world are either not on it or very rarely use it. It's completely different sorts of friends that I chat to on there.

Glice's facebook pros:

- Family members' spouse/ children's names are now easier to remember.
- I can natter to overseas mates. I know I could do that before, but facebook allows you to do nominal gestures (silly links and the like) without feeling like you have to write a massive essay.
- People I'd lost touch with re-appear.
- I like looking at my photographer mate's photographs in one place.
- Band spam is only from bands I know a member of (mostly).

Cons:

- Most people are hideously insipid.
- Most people think they're a photographer (they really aren't).
- I don't like a lot of people I'm 'friends' with but feel compelled to 'be friends' with them.
- I appreciate my privacy but have sacrificed a part of it to be part of the facebook party.

Apart from the last con, these are all things that you can control with various security settings. The last one is what'll ultimately cause me to delete my account, I imagine.

ok, I see..
perhaps I'm rambling about the difference between being friends and being "facebook friends" here...I mean, I'm not "anti-facebook", I have an account even if I don't "use" it (I can't find the word I'm thinking in italian he he), but I don't feel like I'm missing out something in my life at all even if I don't pay attention to what goes on in there.

disclaimer: this could be also influenced by how people in different countries "use" that site, I think...

(re-post from last page)

Friendface!

perfectly said. :mad:

I like how it goes "we own everything you put on friendface".coz it's true.

Now I want to be friends with Glice. And Pookie too.

mmmm pookie.

says the man with 22000 posts on a message board


hahahaahah

Yeah.

You do realize, though...

How I will often...

make consecutive posts in the same thread..........

Instead of editing the original post?

Just sayin'.

hahahaahhahaahh

diarrhea of the keyboard is a common affliction

Hey, it's true!

Now, if I had 22,000 posts but made essays like Atari every post.. THEN... then, I'd see a problem.

i totally experienced some serious combo keyboard diarrhea and word vomit
