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

I'm not trying to antagonize you, John, i just end up erring on the "why?" side as opposed to the "why not?" side when it comes to friending creepy, lame, or boring people from high school/my home town.

oh nah im not antagonized, i just really am detached from taking facebook even remotely seriously or paying any attention to it (ughhh is that the new "i dont even have a TV probably arrggh) so the thought never crossed my mind

note: as a result of this lack of attentiveness i have now been sentenced to being greeted with eternal farmville updates every time i bother to log in, so your fate is the one you make i suppose

press "hide" next to the first Farmville update you see, then press "Hide Farmville" or whatever, and you're free

At this point I'm hiding a lot of infantile games played mostly by a) younger relatives, so fair dos and b) 'blond' people my own age who never left the midwest. My BiL is on a Mafia Wars binge so I learned the Block thing pretty much on day one.

appreciate the tips but i am digging my own "ignore this thing" approach, it has done well for me so far in life

whatever works yo

I've hidden every single app/quiz/whatever ever since day one. The minute a new one appears, WHAP. Gone. Add adblock to that, and I dont even see all the crazy side-ads.

Hahah Whaaat, FB have just introduced the "like" function to comments on status updates!

My page has gone crazy with ppl clicking like on everything in sight.

the Microsoft Word of social networks

must.. like.. everything

hahaha its gone mad.

I already saw someone do the "soon you'll be able to 'like' the fact that someone 'liked' your post!!" joke, which means it is well on course to be the "at this rate they'll be building a Starbucks inside a Starbucks!!" for this decade

so you can like on your likes while you get liked

Its down the K-hole from here people!

LOLLLLL love it when Friend Suggestions throws up something ridiculous: Nick Heyward.

I keep getting John Robb :(

Hahah Whaaat, FB have just introduced the "like" function to comments on status updates!

Didn't that happen ages ago?

Actually I could refresh the suggestions all day for maximum LOLs (just looked again and it's A-Gays a-go-go: Peter Tatchell, Jonathan Harvey).

iouis j@gger has liked your comment on his comment which you liked

Matt: no no its a like function on the *comments* on someones post. So now every single comment can also be "liked" as the main wall post can.

Its a bit mental.

this is as annoying as when myspace introduced the option of giving one or two "kudos"

press "hide" next to the first Farmville update you see, then press "Hide Farmville" or whatever, and you're free

Guy I'm friends with has a photo album of screen grabs from his Farmville which he updates almost daily.

time to defriend. irl.

couple of people on my feed do that with pet society xp

yo dawg, I heard you like Facebook comments, so we put a like on your like so we could like when you like

back on facebook. stupid assumed name, not going to update, only adding peeps i know really well and give a shit about (so far 5 people, not likely to inflate massively).

Going to hunt you down...

hehe, you'll never catch me!

well actually you possibly could but it would have to involve both deduction and guesswork!

The challenge is most definitely on.

In other Facebook-related news, Trent Reznor has written the score for Fincher's Facebook movie.

"Fincher's Facebook movie"? Wtf?!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Social_Network

we have a thread on it

Facebook: the movie

Wtf, who cares about a movie of how Facebook got started? Was it like an extra eventful process, or are they gonna add some fictional drama into it in the name of entertainment?

here's a guess: 1) it won't be a documentary reconstruction 2) it will shoot for more than just relating the history of how facebook started 3) it will use said story to bring out certain choice themes (idk, about friendship probably) 4) it'll be mad funny

5) characters will be made to seem more interesting than what they are irl, aka nerds
6) a story abt nerds may be actually more interesting irl

based on those involved itll prob be pretty sweet; should prob include a montage of young zuckerberg murdering hookers in his dorm room between marathon coding seshes for max impactfulness imo

Anytime I accept a friend request from someone from elementary school, it's a terrifying mirror into what it'd be like if if I stayed Mormon, in Idaho. And also a reminder that most of the people in my hometown were really dumb, racist hicks.

Hmm, that's two friend requests from school people today- one of which I added before, then deleted about 18 months ago in a mass cull of school people I plain don't care about in hindsight, and one who messaged me a while ago that I didn't reply to. I guess it's 15yrs since we finished school, hope this isn't a prelude to a meet-up or something.

my ex's sister just friend-requested me. i've had not contact with her in the 4yrs since i split with her brother, i changed my name when i got married and we have no friends in common. so how did she find me??? i don't even use an email address for facebook that she would know.

i've noticed that a lot of married ppl have their maiden names show up in gray next to their married names, but that doesn't show up on my profile.

this is freaking me out.
