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

My daughter, clearly, doesn't get them.

I uploaded some pics and facebook was able to group all the pics that contained the same person

wauw

Wait woah what do you mean group them?

for tagging, like it found all the pics with person A and I could just tell fb it was that person and it tagged all of them

ah! wth?

the child clearly needs a worker.. !

has everyone else's friends started posting to Facebook less and less and Twitter more and more? for the people i know at least, this seems to be a really recent thing, but it's definitely happening

#no

people are firmly dug in to facebook as far as i can see

i should specify that the people i'm talking about are mostly, like, in the 22-24ish range

Yeah, Facebook getting a lot quieter ime.

except among 50+ people who still taken with notion of posting pix and saying lol

among people i know, there's actually been a lot of going back to facebook as twitter starts to get too...full (though nowhere near an abandonment of twitter)

facebook use def way down in my social world, mostly use it like email now. I don't think my close friends use twitter at all.

id like people to escape facebook but getting a bunch of people of varying it skillz to sign up for half a dozen websites that replicate what they already have going on facebook is kinda difficult

Twitter is good for the real time where is everyone whats happening right now type stuff - esp when you are out and different groups of people are at different things

id like people to escape facebook but getting a bunch of people of varying it skillz to sign up for half a dozen websites that replicate what they already have going on facebook is kinda difficult

even if i had the it skills for this (and maybe I do) I can't figure out what the benefit would be of visiting 6 different websites to replicate what one particular one does

the facebook killer is gonna have to do everything facebook does + something it can't easily add

wtf would that be, I dunno, that's why I'm not rich

i can see my FB dwindling to p. much invites to events and keeping in touch with family members and other people who never really got email. No need for a killer, just different services will do different parts well. There wasn't a single AOL killer that brought it down, and FB is closest to Aol.

Ugh. My mom joined facebook and friended me.

i pretty much told my mother "so not gonna happen" when she tried.

two of my muslim friends have halal facebook pages for their families (and they had to make up a bunch of fake "friends" to make them seem plausible too) and hidden real ones

I set up my mom's facebook account on the very condition that she not ever try to friend me and to relay that message to the extended family as well. I love em, but a few days a year socializing with them is plenty for me.

my grandmother friended my mom and she got mad cause she didn't want to be fb friends with her mom. I haven't had the heart to reject my grandmother but I'm pretty sure she doesn't know how to use her account.

I decided to:

a) accept
b) not give a fuck

you can max out privacy settings to the extent that you're basically not friends

I have a page under my real name that's never been used and a page for the handle that I used a lot before I was a Green Leafy Dragon that's been used a little, but not a lot.

I already have all sorts of extended fam on my fb, but most of them is just cuzzins, and mostly cool ones at that.

two words: "Limited profile"

How do I shot?

Upper right corner: Account -> Edit Friends -> hover over the person -> Edit Lists -> "Limited Profile"

You can also create lists with special permissions.

i'm still amazed that people have not yet figured this out.

You can also create lists with special permissions.

I use one for the list of people I trust enough to see the photo folder with my photographs in it.

lol that's cute

:-)

I can't figure out how to set up special permissions.

I mentioned this upthread but I have some facebook socks that I use to make sure my real fb page isn't 'leaking'

the real answer is, don't put anything up on facebook that you would feel embarrassed about, even if you think you're only sharing it to your closest friends

^ p much the reason i killed my facebook acct and never went back

I use all kinds of filters for my posts/pics on FB. Basically there's a large subset of ppl I'm "friends" with who would assume I never post anything because I've set all posts by default to be visible to "friends only, excluding "locked down" group".

Anyone who posts to FB with their posts/wall set to "visible to everyone on FB" is mad.

I have a work profile, a family profile and a hobby (wakeboarding) profile. I don't have one for my friends though...

There's a "view my page like user x would" thing in facebook, too.

yeah but that was the source of a pretty big privacy leak a few months ago, I DON'T TRUST FACEBOOK

Golden rule: no current work colleagues get to be on ANY blog/social media I am on; dont post/tag any incriminating or embarrasing photos, say nothing about your workplace or deeply personal life.

So basically, I just talk shit, post youtubes and ramble cryptic shite.
