"Can I say you're my girlfriend on Facebook?"

i blocked my cousins.

Par for the course with you, I'm sure.

xpost me too. :-( I mean, she only spelled one word wrong, but I also noticed how "internetty" she wrote. VEry strange. But then I realize it's my fault, I'm a bit oldfashioned when it comes to spelling and text messaging, I PH34R.

Ken, what's the app DO?

My mother joined Facebook, friended me, and now writes stuff on my wall constantly. Surely this is the kind of awkward social situation one is supposed to transcend post high school.

that is just wrong. facebook should be logan's runned.

and then you have to move on...to 'facelift'

your host on 'just a minute' this week was louis jagger

REPETITION!

my sister just joined. i feel a bit guilty about only letting her see my limited profile but...will she know that's all she's seeing? i think not. so fuck it. she doesn't know a single one of my friends so it really doesn't matter...

Ha my little sister refuses to friend any family members or mutual friends so we can't spy on her!

i knew it was weak from the moment i pressed 'submit', enrique, but that's LOW

My mom labeled knowing about myspace a waste of time. So I doubt she'll be getting on FB.
Thank GOD.

my sister is 40 with three kids (two teens). i'm more worried about the teens finding me tbh...

Is that on the wrong thread, L?

hmmmm.

"I like it because it's something for everyone (until everyone is on it)." Lather, rinse, repeat.

CIO: english newspaper columnists in their late 20's or older being all "i just joined facebook, here are some of the things i can do, the old social order is dead, lol poking"

The experience is initially unnerving, but once you get the hang of it, you start feeling like you’re part of some great undulating, pulsing virtual experiment—like that scene in Wim Wenders’s Wings of Desire when Cassiel and Damiel wander Berlin hearing the innermost thoughts of everyone around them, except funnier and less pretentious.

I wish that sentence was funnier ans less pretentious.

Meanwhile Apparently last month Bebo overtook Google as the most-viewed website in the UK

There was an amusing Talk of the Town piece in the New Yorker last week about a freshman-orientation workshop at NYU that teaches students who conduct most of their social interactions on Facebook how to interact with people IRL.

That article in The Atlantic is pretty good, but contrary to the author, I think all the new gadgets that have started cluttering up people’s pages are a harbinger of impending doom. I bet it’s only a matter of time before people start adding music and irritating GIFs to their pages, to say nothing of auto-playing video clips and epilepsy-inducing colour-schemes.

Ruh roh scrappy

"swatted away collywobbles "
what the?

I went away for five days and got about twenty app requests argh. When will people learn not to press "select all"?

My mother is now aware of Facebook as I had forwarded pics my cousin posted on her profile.

Mom: "Oh, yes, I read a piece aboutr that in the NYT, they said it was a potential threat for pornography and luring teenagers into it." (Sth like that.)

Me: "?"

Roz very much OTM!

that is just wrong. facebook should be logan's runned.

I thought that too but then my neices and cousins were saying to me "Why aren't you on facebook so we can laugh at you being so old" (actually they only said the first bit to my face).
So now I am.

And my only friends are my nieces. And two other people.

stevenixed's mum OTM.

Fuck an X Me application. "Someone decided to hug you" "you decided to hug someone". No, I didn't, stop spamming me.

so they're getting sued now?

updates for me today, guys?

my fucken phd supervisor is on facebook. really want to quit it.

you should hit it first.

p.s. i didn't you know are on facebook

Oh noes it is broken :( Who is this mysterious individual who has poked me? Sigh.

I'm thinking of getting off Facebook, already. Too many people I don't really like but have to pretend to care about! Cousins! Exes! Friends of friends!

Too much like real life. Do not want.

Is anyone else's login saying its down for maintenance "for a few hours" wtf?

noo..oh

Yeah it just happened then. And then if you retry it says yr password is wrong. But it isnt.

is your caps lock on?

I just get thrown back to the login page time after time. :(

No I really was doing it right... its working now. Weird.

Oh noes it is broken :( Who is this mysterious individual who has poked me? Sigh.

Accentmonkey, was there one person you added and all this stuff followed on? I had that and am thinking of quietly telling them irl that I think they're great but I'm letting them go because I'm sick of people going: "Oh here's x, oh and there's y. Let's add them both."

I added my first bf who i havent seenin 15 years and now I kind of regret it... he's just so different to me now it is weirding me the fuck out.

Then un-add him. No need for drama, he won't be hurt. You can also put him on limited profile and reduce the amount of news you get from him.

Eh, its no big deal. Ive added a heap of ppl I never engage with. Its not like I do anything deadly important on FB :)

Wait, how do I limit the news I get from people? Cos I'm really fuckin sick of getting status updates from school menks every ten seconds going "IS WISHING THAT CERTAIN PPL WOULD JUST BE HONEST GOD MEN ARE SO STUPID"

the top right of your news feed there is 'preferences' - click on that and there are a bunch of dials you can adjust. just turn them all down and you'll get no news at all.
