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

Just received a warning when trying to click on a link to a blog by a respected company (it's legit), and now I have to download MacAffee's SiteAdvisor plug-in if I want to follow the link from Facebook. Otherwise, no go.

first they get you to friend fake profiles. pretty soon more and more of your friends are fake profiles. then you notice you haven't talked to your real friends in awhile. then you're a fake profile. then they start recommending you to new ppl.

when you click on guardian articles from facebook, it forces you to sign up for the guardian's facebook app

sometimes I get captcha's when trying to post youtube stuff. :/

my application for getting a puppy was denied

gr80 - not entirely sure, but then i'm not entirely sure why the fake sexxy girl profiles exist.

Hmm, and now this MacAffee program tried to make Yahoo my home page, etc., etc.

think you're compromised, bro

it's too late to compromise

Fake sexxy women profiles exist to get to a certain number of contacts, then they mass message everyone a URL to their webcam site

I've definitely been hit by fake profiles before - I see that they're mutual friends with some people I know, accept, and then they start tagging me in product advertisement posts. in between the product advertisement posts, they post youtubes of random music videos, to keep the sheepskin on.

I don't accept friends-of-friends who add me if I don't know them!

does it make you think less of your friends who added them before they were even friends of friends? like obviously they were like, "wow, hot fake body" and clicked add and now you reap misfortune bc of their horniness

i always like taking a few second too lol at the lineup of 14 to 15 dudes in the "girl's" friends list before i click ignore/block

hmmm facebook has gone back to old style for me, no ticker

reminds me how much better it was this way

they're not even overtly sexy - they're more like 'girl/boy next door' types xp to mordy

all of this has happened on my HK account. I keep my real account 100

how can the be next door if they're in HK

I dug this hole in the ground

oh it changed back again. darn

yeah, it switched back to the old stuff for me too but they're not going to get rid of the ticker

Someone else just posted on my feed saying it reverted, then reverted back again.

Didnt happen for me!

Oh, hey, here's why they gave me that warning--which kept me from leaving Facebook by following a link.

What's the etiquette for a when a friend of a friend who you've never actually met or even heard of pokes you on Facebook? Is it expected that I should poke back, or befriend? Am I to assume this person is digging on me based on a profile picture, or are they actually trying to get me to join a paedophile ring?

Personally, I would never respond to a poke, because people who poke are disgusting savages imo, and I would not want to fraternise with them, even virtually. If there is such a thing as poking etiquette, then it can go hang.

More context needed to answer this. Are they
the opposite sex? Does your profile say you are single? Could you ask your friend of the pokey friend why they poked you?

Why do people friend people they don't know?

So they can have like 5,231 friends.

why because you look pretty

why because they look intersting

I used to only friend ppl that I had met, but then I started getting a lot of requests from twitter followers. So whatever, I basically accept every thing these days. I have so little personal information on there, it doesn't really matter to me.

Kim Jong-il grandson on Facebook

facebook is really hurting my head now

i can't bear to look at it for more than a minute

can't we all just go back to using email lists or something?

Threaded discussion! I almost forgot how great email clients got at that.

my dad now has a fan page

the childhood weirdness of ppl recognizing my dad at the grocery store has entered the 21st century

Is he a famous dude or something?

he's been the local weather guy on the top station in his small market for the last 30 years, so as a kid he got recognized everywhere and even now i get friend requests from people down there who by all clear signs are only req'ing me because i'm listed as his son.

is the weather there described as [HOOS SR.] WEATHER?

lol i don't understand that question

he used to do an afternoon bit where he'd do the weather outside on "[HOOS'S DAD'S] terrace," they had a bbq grill and restaurants would come in with food to do promos and stuff, i got so fat in middle school eating free food after school on the terrace

lol i don't understand that question

Tom Skilling is a famous Chicago weather forecaster and they call it SKILLING'S WEATHER.

It is cool and perfect that your dad is the local weather forecaster, btw.

lolcal station in pittsburgh's longtime weather dude was joe denardo and all their chyrons and stuff was branded with like DENARDO FORECAST etc.

ahhh

lol lol lol a picture of my dad now appears in my "likes"
