Facebook

[iowa hawkeyes]

Just wondering who's on Facebook. I joined in the fall when my sisters told me they were on. I realize it's been around for a long time, but always thought it was a kid's thing. It really isn't and it's been fun.

I'm tired of knowing that "friends" are playing games and want to drag me in.

I enjoy the comments from some of the family.

 

[iowa hawkeyes]

that's true. I don't play Farmville and don't want a free puppy. But I've caught up with classmates, cousins, ppl that I don't see that often.

I was on it back before every one and their dog could join, when it was just for college students. It was really nice then, I could keep track of all my high school buddies who went to different schools. Since they opened it up, I don't use it as much. Too many people who use it for the wrong reasons.

I am face-hooked.
John and Hawkeye, you can hide all that game junk from appearing on your news feed. When you see something like that, go to hide in the upper right corner and u have the option of hiding that person or that application. And when they send you a request, you can block the application.
I am not into that stuff either, but I love to know what kind of day my friends and fam are having, and it is a fun way to catch up with those who have lost touch. And I like to fan and group pages for some things, too.

I was gonna' get on it, but it started talking about friends, and since I ain't got any, I didn't see the point of figuring it out. gs

I am on facebook, but i don't like all the application news feeds.

 

[cross_7]

i'm always trying to lay low
stay under the radar.
i didn't like most of those people 20 years ago
i'm not going to give them a tool to find me

 

[aussie_cowgirl]

I'm on it. I live away from my home town for uni so I keep in touch with people there. Also I backpacked in Europe so it's handy to catch up with those folks so easily too. I just blocked all the application notifications so it's very peaceful now

Same here. I hate getting emails from anyone telling me that I need to send this to 10 people in 10 minutes or I'm going to heII. I don't even know 10 people. I hope they bury me with graham crackers, marsh mellows and chocolate bars ~ at the rate I ignore these emails, I have a feeling they'll come in handy. :help:

I'm on Facebook, but I guess I still count as a kid. Not a big fan of most of the applications (farmville, etc.) but I like keeping up with my friends and family. We also have a farm page where people can become fans. Some of the groups are pretty good too. There is a great one called "I Support Dairy Farmers"-have "met" a lot of great like minded people.

We're on it and while all the Farmville and other game posts do get old, it's a great way to keep up with friends and family. Never fails, if you call someone, they are fixing dinner, putting a kid in the tub, getting ready to go somewhere, etc. But with Facebook you can post and read on your own time frame. Just like this board. We have reconnected with some old friends and get to see what they are up to and vice versa, and we keep up better with nieces, nephews, etc.

I didn't like anyone when I was in school, so why would I want to socialize with them now?

I've got this 90% rule. When I meet someone new, there's a 90% chance I'm not going to care for them right up front. Of the remaining 10%, 9 out of 10 of those folks will migrate to the annoying category. So I guess what I'm saying is there's a 1% chance that I'll actually make an attempt to be friendly. And that's on a good day.

 

[Calman]

Yep,I'm on fb also. Don't participate in the game stuff though.
But seems a good way to keep up with family and friends.
since my family are scattered over Ohio,Mo. and Texas,it's a pretty good way to keep up with everyone.
