Title: Facebook
Post by: Parts on March 27, 2010, 05:33:59 PM
I joined just to keep in touch with people I rarely see of find people from collage.  This is all I do there and intend to.  That being said what is all this stuff with planting trees,  pies and other stuff people keep asking me about?  Almost seems cultish. I don't go there without at least ten requests for this stuff and friend requests for people who I have no idea who they are.  Is there some secret agenda at work here?

 :laugh: Probably.

Being the neb that I am, I joined just so that I could check out the profiles of people that I went to school with and see how they faired in life.

Don't think I even filled out most of my profile, didn't put up a pic & still got quite a few friend requests. ???

Wish I could set the place so that I could ignore all that rubbish.

they're just games people play

they can get addictive

and people end up automatically sending a load of shite to everyone on their list

it's not socially wrong to ignore these tho

i mean if u get a load of stuff asking for help on the farm or whatever, u don't need to reply to it or anything, just ignore it

i ignore most crap on there unless it's proper comments etc

I thought that game was weird too. I overheard my sisters talking about planting pineapples on each others farm and I'm like WTF, you don't have farms....then they explained and showed me the game. I thought it was strange, but I suppose, not any different from any other computer game really....just a way to pass the time....

 :lol:

yeh i think it's coz it's so easy to pass the time with - coz it's within facebook and you play it with people on your friends list so you just end up getting into it and then you're addicted for ages. i used to play mobwars where you go round shooting people :P

I'm tempted to unfriend all who do too much of those games. They may play their games. But I don't need to be informed.

They may play boardgames at home too, or join Neopets or so. As long as they don't call me to tell me, I don't mind.

I didn't know you had sisters eclair. I thought you only had a brother.


I get invitations to things on facebook but I ignore them all. I have an account but they have groups there and I am in a couple aspie groups and one group about my city. I am also in a ponyland catfights group. I also have my online friends on my friends and my old high school mates. I even have one of the old special ed aids on there. I knew her in high school. I don't approve anyone who is a stranger. I have to know them from a forum I go to or be someone I know in real life or knew in real life. It's best to tell me who you are when you add me so that I don't reject you if I couldn't figure out who you are. When I added someone, I told her who I was by telling her my WP name.

hyke you can set it to stop showing thigns by certain applications if u want

like when you see one on your wall click 'hide' next to it and a thing should come up asking if u want to hide everything by that person or everything from that app

you should stop seeing them then

Technically, I'm an only child, but both my parents had other children.

I grew up with a brother and then a sister. Then when I was older my Dad had another family of girls....those are my sisters, but technically half sisters.

No step siblings. I was an only child until I was 6. It's a kind of complicated story because my parents broke up briefly when I was young but then got back together.

Facebook chat is laggy and annoying.   I use the site mainly to keep in touch with people like old highschool and college friends... and I play the games some.

I am somewhat new to Facebook. I have 21 friends, I know of people that have over 100. I don't think I even know that many people. I don't play the games either and I hide the ones that other people play. My sisters play Farmville a lot.

Yeah I've been on facebook for about a year. Only have 22 friends but I don't add everyone. I even trimmed a few family members that give me the shits. Plus I block all the Apps, games, quizzes etc, that crap is just bullshit. I'd rather read something that someone took the time to think of and type up.

My Twitter account became tiresome for the same reason...I started following too many people, admittedly in some cases because I thought they might be sources of info about my personal interests  :laugh:, and some of them just  :blah:! Who has time to read all that?!

LOL, while making a lot of things invisible, having my whole screen filled with acknowledgements of my actions, new messages about fishes and hugs and hearts etc. kept popping up. Will take a while till I have most of it weeded out. But am very grateful for you pointing out this option Soph.
