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

I read another article that did specify they'd hide people who you previously had set to In A Relationship With on fb so yeah, does nothing for romances over 4-5 years old..

You should be able to retrospectively add relationships in a similar way to how you add previous employers and school/college history.

^^ or the way the Mormons baptize dead people?

"Can I say you were my girlfriend on Facebook?"

They really should develop this option.

i'll show you a social graph

I look forward to it.

The only person I ever *have* been "in a relationship* on fb with still comes up regularly on my memories feed, so bollox to that claim, FB. We're still mates and still post on each others walls and shit tho so I dunno.

What's difficult for FB as a company, I would think, is that the things people say they want from the site are balanced out by other things people want but don't express, and are contradictory e.g. "Respect my privacy, FB (but don't take away the fun of snooping on friends and strangers plz)" or "introduce more features and open up the site more (but don't let it become "like myspace")"

Thin lines.

I don't even have a damn memories feed.

Its not its own page, it just slews photos down the righthand side on some random pages, kind of like it does with ads or events or "you might know this person". Its seems a bit random as to where it displays it.

haven't seen photo memories in forever

Kid died videotaping Notre Dame's football practice. His last words are in the pic.

Extremely windy on campus today. Apparently the tower he was up on blew over into the road and he was killed. Check out his last two facebook statuses. Terrible.

O_O

the two comments at the bottom of that jpg are like the final immutable epitaph of social networking

Was leaving a "Happy Birthday" comment on a friend's wall today when I discovered what I guess is a new slightly creepy feature called "see friendship". This button (which appears w/your post on some walls) takes you to a page containing indexes of every wall post you've made w/that friend (and vice versa), every mutual friend, every mutual "like", every relevant photo you've appeared in or commented on, every event you attended together, and links for similar pages for both you and other friends, and other couplings of your friends.

I should also note this is not limited to your own friends, as you can also pull up pages for friends of friends.

i don't see it. the only thing i get is "see wall-to-wall". maybe it hasn't reached me yet.

dear fb, please stop putting my crushes in my top news feed

I haven't clicked on their profiles in forever and am ignoring them

thanks

hide them dayo!!!!!!!!!!

It might be the new version of w2w.

and the photo memories thing made me realize - "Wow this guy sure takes a lot of pictures."

stop having crushes and your problem will disappear

there are worse problems tbh

So yesterday I see my good friend's girlfriend/fiance on the newsfeed and think "I haven't seen or heard from her in ages, I wonder how she's doing!"

And sure enough she's now in a relationship with another dude, and I do the whole whatisthis Idonteven thing. What's strange was that my friend lives in the mid-west now, but I talked to him a few weeks ago and he made it sound like they were still together, and now, well, she's out of our lives.

OK I'm now seeing this see friendship link too. If you go to someone tou knows profile there's a "view you and X!" link. And it gathers together every wall post, comment, tag, and anything else you had wit that person.

All on one tidy page.

OK, am I the only one that thinks this is just a bit beyond the pale?

Sorry my h key is busted so forgive my odd post.

yeah i have it now too

omg it says "browse friendships" and you can look at other people's

Yeah. Sure are a lot of Happy Birthdays Facebook has archived.

I don't really see the problem with looking at your own - they already had wall-to-wall histories available, and in 'photos' you could look at 'you and x'. But yeah, not sure about being able to browse other people's.

You can only see other people's who you could see anyway, it seems. If someone's locked to friends only views, no FOAFs are gonna see anything thru those links, nor are complete unknowns. I mean in a way it's kind of a neat archive.

What's with this Not Now thing for friend requests? Why is there no Not Ever? I've had to reject the same person 3 times now.

Not Now is the compromise for those of us who've been clamoring for an "I'm Not Entirely Sure" option

Why don't you just add them? Who cares?

Uh. Not wanting complete strangers to see your profile/posts/shit perhaps?

Oh yeah, true. Dunno why people'd post things they're worried abt people seeing, tho.

Well sure, but still.

Same reason you email people and don't just post it all on a blog?

While I'm moaning about FB - how long has it been possible to just add someone else to a group? Instead of inviting them? Cos that's really pissed me off today as well. Now I'm getting spammed by people I don't know in a group I didn't join. Obv I can just leave the group, but wtf?

people have been able to add you to groups w/o your consent since they recently relaunched groups

But there is an "I'm Not Entirely Sure" option - it's called not doing anything about it. Or are there people that feel compelled to respond to everything?
