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

Is she chewing on a pot leaf?

ilxors on fb should be forced to put their ilx dn in their fb name so that i know who they are when i accept their friend requests

I try to remembember to send a message after I request friendship saying 'hi it's VegemiteGrrl' etc

I'm "Jeff" on facebook.

well that's just confusing

Just search for Jeff. I'm the first and best result.

I'm a clip show.

m1ke h4rper is mh, iirc

So I mute Facebook friends who post overtly racist and homophobic stuff. This includes most, but by no means all, of the really noisy Republican crowd -- Facebook seems to have decided that I just don't want to hear any right wing US politics at all. All sorts of friends ranted about the health care decision as the end of liberty, and none of it showed up unless I went to the profiles. I don't like this, and wonder if Tea Party types are similarly being put by Facebook into endless feedback loops.

i rtecently went on vaca with someone, they took some pics including some of me which they tagged

none of this shows up in my feed, i have to go to their profile to see it

Just got the aborted fetus chain pic in ye olde newsfeed.

"the"

Getting mighty fed up with friends & even worse friends of friends tagging themselves and all their friends in pictures of their kids, that don't even have these people in the picture. My news feed is full of pictures of random children of people I don't even know. People are going to get suspicious about me.

lol mid 30s I guess

Ive never understood why people do that. They can see your feed! They will see the photo anyway!

I don't get that either. I guess people and relatives get tagged in those baby pictures so that they're alerted to see it? It's still annoying.

I also really don't get people who have nothing but pictures of their children in their profile and none of themselves. Seems a bit

to me.

Sometimes I tag my Grandma and Aunt in pictures of my dog, but that's because they're not on FB daily/not great with computers. Grandma pretty much only comments on dog photos, she loves that guy.

PART OF THE PROBLEM

what's the big deal? ilxers in inconsequential complaining shocker

gonna tag MH in everything
why you wanna deny my Grandma cute dog pictures?

worst behavior imaginable

mwahaha

if you want to insult your grandmother you could do something other than claim a dog is her on facebook

Mine is more in the comments: Hey @Ruth etc. I just checked her photos to see if I have claimed she is a dog and it seems I've done it twice over the last two years. But I STILL give her less grief than the rest of our family, so I still win.

oh, Finefinemusic, now I just know that not only will you keep responding to ridiculous trolling, you can be pushed to action by it

*makes note in trollable.xls*

Eh, I post a lot of pet photos & added you to tagging.xls ;)

I posted some pics from my DC visit and one of my smartass friends tagged himself on Thomas Jefferson's face

how can you either a) prevent certain people from sending you facebook event invitations or b) stop getting notifications every time someone updates one of their stupid events?

fucking promoters are the worst

I have been wondering this too.

Block them, I guess?

go to their page, click on the friends button, untick things

a) prevent certain people from sending you facebook event invitations

When you decline an invitation it gives you the option to block all event invites from the person.

b) stop getting notifications every time someone updates one of their stupid events?

If you respond to the invite - whether it's to accept, say maybe, or decline - you get an option to turn off notifications. It is annoying that you can't leave the invitation hanging before turning them off, but I guess if you're undecided you can always say maybe.

anyone else notice a sudden spike in the amount of posts from fan pages showing up in your feed?

i guess i need to start manicuring my feed :-\

I'm also getting a hell of a lot of sponsored page recommends showing up in my feed now, like "you should like this page!" shit about stuff I have no interest in, effectively like advertising smack in the middle of my feed. AND, now FB has started informing me of all the game apps my friends play, in a big wodge. That I cant hide. Despite having blocked and hidden every damn game app the site ever came out with.

big wodge?

wodge, lump, blob. like a chunk of macaroni cheese.

wooooodge

Sorry. I like that word. Wodge.

6 thumbs up

all the lol liking of stupid pages that went on a bit a while ago is now backfiring as those damn pages are appearing in the iPhone app all the time as sponsored links. "Your friends like this bank! Want to like it?"

otm.

i know the whole deal is that facebook gets to change their shit up once or twice a year whether ppl like it or not, but this is p jarring.

OTOH photo albums look great now, despite being a little glitchy while i was uploading last nite (a few photos ended up in the wrong order when i first uploaded)

yeah photo albums is def improved

iPhone facebook camera app is getting there, too

anyone else slowly wasting their lives playing songpop?

It certainly looks like it.

Yup.

there's a thread

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2012/oct/08/april-jones-teenager-jailed-facebook

It doesn't say whether his page/the comments were public... quite an important distinction in cases like this I would've thought?
