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

anyone notice 'Memorable Status Updates'? whatsdatabout?

some bullshit

"No, I do not want Facebook as my homepage..."

Hate the new 'message centre'. Think I've been saying this for over a year, but COME ON, when will the new social network site take over? I was fine moving from friendster to myspace, myspace to facebook, I can do it again.

still h8 the new pop-out way of viewing photos

plus half the time shit just doesn't load, and the latest privacy settings thing was bs

Are you on Diaspora?

To answer emily's question though I still haven't exactly come across what the point of diaspora is supposed to be.

I think the photo viewer is now at full saturation. There used to be a way around it (via "photo memories"), but I can't make it work now.

To answer emily's question though I still haven't exactly come across what the point of diaspora is supposed to be.

originally it was to punish the jews for worshipping false gods. idk what it's for anymore

i like how the photo view opens over yr news feed so you dont have to navigate back and lose yr place when you close it but i HATE how you cant grab photos off it because im a compulsive internet photograbber - i know theres a download button but then the pic not in the right place gdamn this fucks w/my flow h8 u fb

The photoviewer is great for the news feed, yes. To get to the old display, where you can grab the photo, just reload/refresh while the viewer is open.

The hell are you people downloading off of Facebook?

As for the friend who chose Jesus over me, I was kind of asking for it when I called God a real selfish motherfucker for killing Rue McClanahan and that if he tried that shit with Betty White I was coming after him. She found that not funny at all.

"Oh, hey. A picture of my co-worker's sister in a prom dress." *~sAvE*~

lol dude youve seen one of my albums has a picture from yr fb, you even commented on it

Haha, I forgot about those albums. Download all you want, gr8080 jr.

guys just hit F5 in the new photo viewer and it goes back to the old way

Alex and C******** O**** are now friends after both attending Florentine drinks.

wut, since when has the bolded part been a thing that facebook tells people

WUT? You know that some PR somewhere is going to have to report on how many party guests became friends following their event.

the funny thing is how it makes it look like C and I just met at those drinks, when we've actually been friends (in the always-talk-at-same-parties sense) for ages and only just got round to being fbook friends b/c who even bothers being rigorous about that any more

its been doing that a while and yeah, lex you point out the obvious flaw. What a dumb idea it is.

i remember reading about friendster in a magazine and how "celebs" were into it and i was like jeez *everyone* is a loser now also what about privacy

fuck I think I just clicked on one of those linkbait scams :>

ppl with me on fb, am I recommending links

naw

whew *wipes sweat off brow*

how have those not been removed from the site yet?? wtf do the people who work at fb do w/ their time

other than read the inboxes of girls they like

yeah when youve made people afraid to click links on yr website you have a problem

and i mean apps apps forget abt that

an app is likely to kill yr whole family

hahah what sort of power do the engineers at fb have

"why does this guy keep appearing in my fb feed?"

each feed is hand curated by an angry nerd

my new social networking platform pitch^

my favourite thing is ppl like my mother-in-law who refused to use paypal bc they're convinced someone is gonna steal all their money, but will happily click really dodgy links on facebook, despite repeated advice to the contrary.

somehow i "liked" or became a fan of three musicians i've never heard of. how is that possible? feel like someone's inside my facebook, liking bands.

this guy i'm friends with but have only met once just "liked" my chemical romance and it was so completely out-of-character that it made him rise hugely in my esteem, and this thread suggests that it wasn't him.

which is a relief because i like people to stay RIGHT WHERE THEY ARE in my esteem

ha. it is just a bit worrying, though. i feel somehow compromised. i haven't clicked on any weird links...i dunno.

facebook is really not very good at saying "so this other website is going to write on yr wall now, is this cool?", i have noticed - so it might be that kind of thing?

like, i voted for someone's remix in some competition, and that automatically went and wrote on my wall about it (as i was logged in to FB, tho didn't have it open), and obv i didn't notice for about a week because seriously who looks at their own wall?

so maybe some website somewhere took your click on a link to be a vote of confidence in some anono-dude and told FB about it and FB was like, awesome, let's log it, because after all we all want fully-joined-up 360-degree-deal online identities. Or alternately it was an angry nerd, trying to increase the number of dudes liking his mate's band.

There are some settings somewhere that have to do with linkage to outside sites that share w/FB I think, that you can turn off? I forget now, but I locked down/disabled everything I could think of ages back, have hidden/blocked every app that ever appeared and so on. OH also adblock plus on firefox is yr friend. No annoying ads in sidebars for me.

yeah i'm gonna have to go back and see that my previous locking-down hasn't been pried back open a bit...

because after all we all want fully-joined-up 360-degree-deal online identities

this terrifies me. i know it's an ever-encroaching reality but i mean you can end up seeing some pretty weird things in that online 360. i'm pretty sure i haven't enabled whatever thing sends likes directly to your profile, but i still keep a wide berth from those little "like" icons wherever they pop up.

I was on the FB last night, trying to track down people (didn't work, I have their addresses tho), with Amber on my right looking over.

She would inist on calling out "ooh, "Link up with single ladies in your area!" "

"Will you stop reading out the adverts?"

(wife is not a fb user, fill in the rest yerself)

I always assumed you only got those ads if you said you were single in yr profile?

Well, yr rong.

new messaging system is bobbins

...new messaging system?

yeah, they put messages on the funny round things you get when you've used up the thread on sewing machines.
