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

*properly*

someone i met once at a work related do... lots of people are adding me and i barely know them properly. maybe the person is part of a gimp S&M torture group and doesnt want me to see.

Jizzy. ;-)

Maybe they hate dubstep.

Ken, define properly. Nekkid pics?

did nobody else get a message from Darramouss then

Who? /Lex

Are you on Kit? Are you my friend?

Yeah teh_kit, friend us!

BusinessWeek is on the case.

xpost

For a second I thought you were claiming you and teh-kit were one. Confusing.

How was Berlin?

ow maan, i have to deal with the zombie thing now.

When people poke you, are you supposed to poke them back? What's the point of it? There's no message with it or anything.

Poking is a way of saying hello i am here and i want to fuck you...but for people without the confidence to actually say or even imply it

You ask for money to be paypaled to you. A tenner normally unless it's without the glove, then it's twenty. (xpost)

oh shit. i poked my boss today.

What? It's just letting'em know you're here/there.

that's a relief. because my boss is a married woman.

Live a little </crepe>

There are a bunch of people on FB from ILX that I would like to friend but think it would through them off because they wouldn't know who I was. What to do?

I think a poke to a non-friend allows them to see your profile for a limited period ("yes, it is me - I sat next to you in Geography in 1983 and now I like embroidery and Wolf Eyes"); if they poke you back you can see their profile. From such jabbing beautiful "friend"ships are rekindled. Any subsequent pokes are for laffs.

There are apparently 686,000 Londoners on Facebook.

So far I only have ILX0rs I've actually met in IRL as friends, but that's not a conscious decision on my part. I don't think I've actually added any ILX0rs yet anyway, they've added me. I was the same as you, wasn't sure if I should or not!

xpost the pokes I was talking about were from people who are already friends, so it wasn't to add me or anything, that's why I wondered what it was for.

Did you add me yet, I cannot recall.

Ned - Me or CP? You were one of my first FB friends.

Ned trying to brag he has a gazillion friends on FB. ;-)

former left-wing comrade is now in the "I WILL BE A BILLIONAIRE" group, who's a self-employed investor/stock trader.

Facebook, why u shatter memories/illusions?

is a 'self-employed investor/stock trader' - feel like scare quotes are a necessity there.

i got poked, poked them back, never heard back from them again. which is how i like it. usually the etiquette seems to be that you get poked, then add the person.

I'm a zombie - thanks Trish!

She tried to get me too but I ducked. Take that zombie Trish!

Every second dude on there has the "hilarious" Chuck Norris application. Makes me slightly angry.

Also, add mee. If you like. M4rk W4lt3r.

^In the ilm group.

Haven't joined ILM group as would feel like an imposter because I only pop on there every now and again.

Yeah, i guess it should have been an ilxor group. ah well.

There's an ILX group too!

sweet nectar.

Just get onboard http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2382779449

It's private or whatever. Was the ilm one private?

I don't know, I can't remember. I think you just submit a request to join this one and then Nathalie approves it.

Lovely. Submitted. and eagerly anticipating acceptance.

As am I.

I've poked a few of you. The ones I could figure out.

Ned - Me or CP?

CP

Hey, you're all just chumps to me.

It's a daft application, because it operates like a pyramid scheme. But I have to beat Mister M, I just have to!

Not that it's a competition.

I applied to join the ilxor group ages ago, but Nathalie has not confirmed me.

I just applied to join. You're listed as a member when I look at them. (although it only shows me 34, and some of the people that should be according to the thread^^^ do not seem to be like Ned, and the good Colonel.)

WTF. :-( I didn't receive any of you guys. Send me another application or should I just "open" the group? Okay, just opened the group so if I failed to approve you, then try again. :-)

Obviously... I dunno, I don't like that kind of thing, I just want to be friends with people I 'know' not everyone I come in contact with. I am so misanthropic sometimes!

Oh, I'm sure I know more people than him. It is the thing that always annoys him, the fact that he is the colossal nerd who is a leet blackbelt sys admin type, yet I have more friends on the internet than he does.

Ned, you have been added!
