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

it's only as complicated as you want to make it.

Maybe I don't really know what I want, Steve

in these crazy times i can't say i blame you. but thanks for friending me.

two mutual friends~!

Somebody start an ILx group. I feel like a liar in the ILM one.

Ok, should do that. I don't listen to enough musickness these days.

ILE on FB.

nope

he's right.

Yeah I would do it but I really have no clue how. I can barely join groups.

:-( I made it a closed group. So if you change your mind, I will reject you anyway. Actually if you (no matter who) prefers it is an open group, I'll switch.

waht

*note to self* insert appropriate emoticons showing you are joking.

I couldn't find it. . .

(Open group: can we deal with open relationships?)

Urgh. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2382779449

Would that work?

anyone else with a myspace who has resisted facebook feel like they may have backed the wrong horse...

I have too much Facebook crossover with work to join an ILE group I think...
When worlds collide!

they probably have a red face right now

there seem to be some odd features on facebook which I can envisage as being ILE threads, like the foodfight option. AFAIK, there has never been an ILE thread called "this is the thread where we have a food fight" but it's being realised by ilxors on facebook as I type (and w/ pics of the food handily provided so you don't have to faff around searching for 'em on google images).

an ex cow-orker has invited me to become a zombie and go round chomping ppl, bizarrely....

how wonderful life is on a perennial rag week

some weird dude just friended me

Hooray, have joined ILE!

I am a zombie! I have no minions as yet though.

I joined ILX group :)

I thought the Louis "Jigger" Jagger Appreciation Society was ILE's unofficial group

I think it was but is now full of LJ's IRL friends or something.

haha

I thought it was other way round!

I've just sent a request to join the ILE group!

One of us (collectively).

Me too! I'm still not sure of the point of this, but CJ hit me with a haggis, which seems suitably bizarre enough to count as fun.

Ooh I have ILX friend now!

I am going to sulk until you start having fun on ILX where you all belong.

Henry joined the group Flipmode Squad. 4:03pm lol

If I had my druthers, I would say I'd hooked up with all of friends, just for shits and giggles, but my coworkers, on FB, might think that's weird.

i was gonna do that, don't really know why i didn't.

i have sent in mah request.

it can be vaguely creepy if it's not obviously a joke. :/

Yeah, exactly. My coworkers, who are "ready to embrace social networking" because their big librarian conference told them to do so, probably wouldn't be hip to the fact that's it's an obvious joke.

that's the main reason why i didn't

xpost

But, the major bonus of having coworkers on FB, is that I can be wasting excessive amounts of time on it, but if someone walks by and sees my screen, they'll think, "oh! it's work-related! she's networking like all the kids do!"

(NB: there is a major age gap between me and my officemates)

This morning my big boss came up while I was friending Nath. haha! whatever.

He knows I'm cool. ;-)

Yeah your big question mark screams productive networking. As did the Victoria Secret's ad that was up next to it.

:-) I uploaded a pic now!

ach, what the hell. i'll chuck my request in too ;)

kenan, you are now in my myspazzy hall of fame. i sent you an initiation message.

hall of fame shame

er. i don't, really. there are subtleties and niceties, but it's all one big swirling vortex round grimly's social sphere.
Aye, and you're probably the only person I know like this, tbh. Still, there are subjects you'll only talk about with certain people, surely? But there's no way to reflect that with FB.

Flickr does this quite well with its per-picture friends/family/public thing, whereas with FB it's either on or off - your friend can see your wall or they can't. You can't have everyone but your boss see "killing my boss" as a status, for a stupid example.

if a subject is only for the ears/eyes of certain people, why would you even consider putting it on facebook?

gareth, myspazz comments are hardly any less inane!
