<i>i don't need a public internet site to keep up with people i properly know though...</i>
ach, i don't *need* one. but it's kinda fun. also: experiments with private internet sites (no, rly) haven't been resoundingly successful.
i'm not saying facebook is revolutionary -- it's palpably not. i think its current popularity will wane quickly. but fuck it. it's put me in touch with a couple of old friends, and it suits my purposes well.

i'd probably be fine with it but it sort of makes complicated situations public and more complicated....

"Facebook users who like to control who gets to see your account details, take note: political views, religious back ground and other sensitive details may be wide open to prying eyes even though you've configured your profile so its viewable only to designated friends.
That's because the user setting that allows only designated friends to view a user's profile has no effect on whether the contents of that profile can be searched by the Facebook community at large. Users who want to block their profiles from being searched must go through an additional step."

i keep adding people from my degree course at university who i've not seen since then. probably silly but nice to see old faces again at least.

I keep meaning to join it, but I don't want people I know to think I love music :/

I may have already exaggerated my love of Ivan Campo in that regard

i'm halfway to quitting it because this just leads to headaches and/or aforementioned randoms. i'm being a bit prissy about it i guess.

I've started getting former school mates bringing the "AIN'T SIN YOU FOR AGES" to what was previously a contended quip-trading circle-jerk between a bunch of people I already spend a lot of time with. It's all turning from gold into shit.

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

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

Somebody start an ILx group. I feel like a liar in the ILM one.
― Ms Misery, Wednesday, 27 June 2007 13:34 (sixteen years ago) link
Ok, should do that. I don't listen to enough musickness these days.
― nathalie, Wednesday, 27 June 2007 13:35 (sixteen years ago) link
ILE on FB.
― nathalie, Wednesday, 27 June 2007 13:38 (sixteen years ago) link
nope
― That one guy that quit, Wednesday, 27 June 2007 13:41 (sixteen years ago) link
he's right.
― Mark G, Wednesday, 27 June 2007 13:41 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah I would do it but I really have no clue how. I can barely join groups.
― Ms Misery, Wednesday, 27 June 2007 13:42 (sixteen years ago) link
:-( 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.
― nathalie, Wednesday, 27 June 2007 13:43 (sixteen years ago) link

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!
― Archel, Wednesday, 27 June 2007 13:48 (sixteen years ago) link
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).

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
― Curt1s Stephens, Wednesday, 27 June 2007 14:27 (sixteen years ago) link
I think it was but is now full of LJ's IRL friends or something.
― Colonel Poo, Wednesday, 27 June 2007 14:27 (sixteen years ago) link
haha
I thought it was other way round!
― Curt1s Stephens, Wednesday, 27 June 2007 14:29 (sixteen years ago) link
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.

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.
