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

A lot of Facebook's problems could have been solved long ago if that phone number were available imo (esp: available to mothers)

Although I imagine some variation of "My son -- my own teenage son -- is refusing to accept my friend requests. Do you want to talk to him on the phone about what it means to respect your own mother?" would make up 70% of the calls from moms.

I set up my mom's account on the sole condition that neither she nor any of the rest of the extended family would try to friend me.

The other 30% would be:
"I'm trying to send a letter to my dear friend June from Palo Alto, she's sick you know...I type out my letter but every time I hit send there's no send button it says 'search'. How can I make it send? This thing is just so stupid I don't know who designed it."

My mum is passively aggressively resisiting Facebook, she's mad that my brother, sister and I all talk to each other behind her back.

my parents have no idea how to use it. they both have like 10 friends, but they are befuddled by how to upload pictures, or fill in their information, or do pretty much anything.

in other words, they don't know how to use the internet.

It is not a small blessing that my mom hates social media.

Although at this point I'd be hard pressed to identify anything beyond Fox as liked-by-my mom.

i love when i see one of my aunts post a status update that's obviously intended as a comment/post to a specific person:

"Oh Sweetie! look how cute that is-- can't wait to see you next month!!"

My favorite pic of him seen today:

xpost, my sister-in-law sends messages to reply to comments left on photos/wall, so I keep getting message which are just "yep, me too :-)xx" and similar.

OH OH THIS

'er indoors put photos of us on fb, my aunt sees them and emails my father, who prints them and gives it to my mother, who goes APE SHIT because she didn't see them first. This has been going on for months.

My mother's particularly jealous of this (paternal) aunt so her whining is always cranked up to 11.

Of course all this would be solved if she just got a fb account but she refuses to use computers or the internet (as recounted in other threads under my aa acct, probably).

put = puts

Hoax That Facebook Is Closing Goes Viral
Rumors That Site Is Shutting Down on March 15 Have Spread Across the Web

Rumors that Facebook will be shutting down on March 15 have gone viral across the web, causing users to question what will happen to their photos and other content that they have shared on the world's largest social networking site.

The flurry of online chatter that the Palo Alto, Calif.-based company would shut down its servers comes just days after it had been valued at $50 billion after a $500 million infusion of cash by investment bank Goldman-Sachs.

The story seems to have been perpetuated by supermarket tabloid the Weekly World News, which Saturday published an article headlined "Facebook Will End March 15th!"

"Facebook has gotten out of control and the stress of managing this company has ruined my life," the tabloid said Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg said in a press conference outside his office, "I need to put an end to all the madness."

The Weekly World News, which is known for stories on alien abductions and the infamous "bat boy," also reported that Facebook indicated that users should remove all of their personal information and content from the site by March 15. According to the article, after that all photos, notes, links, and videos would be removed.

Looking at trends across the web, including Google Trends and on Twitter, it appears that many are falling prey to the rumor mill.

A "Top Tweet" -- popular Tweets that have caught the attention of other Twitter users -- from a user named DaddySteak today reads: "Woww...they are shutting down Facebook on March 15,2011."

Hundreds of other similar speculations and rumors can be found across the micro-blogging site, with many users linking to articles perpetuating the rumor.

Facebook has yet to officially respond to the article.

lolololololololol

Waiting for the day FOX or someone run w/an Onion article.

from what i saw on twitter this is more joke than rumor

doesnt change the fact a lotta people are taking it seriously

are they tho are they really

call my mom and ask her. call her right now

i should call yr mom i should

my mom heard the post office is losing so much money that they're gonna charge u five cents each time u look at facebook

lol gullible facebook users

I'd say seeing as Snopes ran on this just y'day then yeah people are taking it seriously.

it was time for another "facebook wants to be your one true login" disaster

hate the photo lightbox overlay thing

a few months ago i snuck into my husband's facebook account and wrote 'i like to fart' in his about-me section. he finally noticed it last week and removed it.

i snuck in again today and wrote 'i REALLY like to fart'.

haa

nice!

so does he?

Is he also crazy?

Facebook's been down for me all day, which is annoying but still hasn't done much for my productivity what with ilx and twitter etc etc.

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

he does, so it's not like i wrote a ~lie~ on there

lol it'll be at least another 3 months before he notices it

hobbies can be distracting.

he likes to fart and is crazy

likes horseriding, long farts on the beach

i really like to fart is making me lol

the day fbook introduced custom urls, roxy trusted me w/ her fbook password so that i could register her custom URL for her

a few months later i logged in and turned all her profile pictures upside down

<3 <3 <3 <3

XOJ

haha and that is the day i stopped trusting u tbh as u are a duplicitous fuq iirc

(jk lol)

haha i had forgotten that that is how you got the password tho. i was SO DESPERATE to have facebook.com/gabbneb that i had u log in for me while i was at work

worth it imo

Farcebook making yer mobile number and email address available to developers. How that would benefit ANY user anywhere in the world is a mystery http://media.photobucket.com/image/it%20is%20a%20mystery/ll_Crayola_ll7/Emotes/th_iiamicon2.gif but pretty clear how corrupt shitheads will exploit this for money.

You don't disclose it unless you explicitly give permission, but still.

sorry, ACTUAL PHYSICAL address, not email address

As I said to someone else about this, what idiot is putting their home address/phone number in their profile to start with?

ikr but the motive still stinks to high heaven.
