I finally caved and signed up on Facebook

[sniffa]

and I've wasted the last few hours fucking around on it and stalking - I mean looking up people I used to work with, go to school with and other DUers.... and trying to figure out how the fucking thing works. Myspace was idiot proof.

If you are one of my 6 new friends you'd know that I am, "suffering from "phantom peeing on leg" syndrome."

[Shakespeare]

1. You better add me as a friend, you UFF.

:loveya: :7

[sniffa]

2. Fine

:eyes:


:loveya:

[Shakespeare]

3. I've found that strong-arming people into being my friend is a great approach.

:rofl:



:hi:

[KitchenWitch]

9. I requested you too!

:hi:

[Shakespeare]

18. Saw & added & wall-commented!

:hi:

[AlCzervik]

4. will you send me the link?

maybe i'll sign up.

[sniffa]

6. Google is your friend

:eyes:

[AlCzervik]

19. i signed up and google is not my friend.

[sniffa]

26. Just go to Bi-Baby's page and link me from there

:loveya:

[SallyMander]

5. I *am* one of your six friends!

:woohoo:


But your wife is not! :rofl:


ETA... i just suggested you become friends. I crack myself up. :rofl:

[sniffa]

13. She won't be my friend

for a few days probably. She's up in the mountains of western Ma.

And you're one of the 6 that know of my new affliction.

[SallyMander]

17. Oh that's right! I forgot

Hope she is having fun!

[Mike 03]

7. Maybe that's not so bad.

Three weeks ago I ended up making a MySpace page, but it was just to find out some information on another MySpace person I'd been looking for. These sites do serve a purpose, and getting in touch with old friends is a great reason to explore them.

I'm kind of curious though, I wonder which is better, MySpace or FaceBook, or some other. I used to have a LiveJournal a few years ago, but got rid of it.

8. I like Facebook so much better (nt)

[KitchenWitch]

12. seconded

especially if you know people's real names.

[bigwillq]

14. Well, I don't know sniff's real name

full name, that is, so I am having trouble finding him on the FB.


:hi:

[AlCzervik]

21. i do and i still can't find him.

[bigwillq]

22. He doesn't want us to add him.

:( :cry: :P

[KitchenWitch]

24. I suggested you to him.

[bigwillq]

27. Thank you.

:) :hi:

[sniffa]

28. Did you mistakenly include the 'x'?

My family dropped that generations ago.

[AlCzervik]

31. i found you.

you'll know it's me.

[KitchenWitch]

32. who are you on FB?

[sniffa]

37. The Eye

:rofl:

[AlCzervik]

39. :-) ***watching you***

:D

[sniffa]

10. Myspace for the porn

Facebook for the rest.

[grace0418]

16. Facebook is better. It's more straightforward in terms of finding and

catching up with friends. There are all kinds of games and apps if you want to do them, but you don't have to. MySpace always seemed like too much work to me, you had to make your page all cool and add backgrounds and music and shit.

[DS1]

11. Myspace was idiot-proof?

Well, maybe, but not in the way I'm reading that :D

[sniffa]

15. u r hottttttttttttttttttttttttttt

23. I just friended you, TerryA, and MAHNY

:hi:

[bigwillq]

25. I just sent you a friend request.

:) :hi:

[Mike 03]

29. Wow, you are making me want to sign up.

Is this a good way to meet some friends, maybe?

[bigwillq]

30. Sign up!

:hi:

[KitchenWitch]

33. Yes, sign up

give in to peer pressure.

[Mike 03]

36. Okay, I'm going to visit right now. Thank you. NT

[sniffa]

35. How do I join

What do I























I think so, but I just joined. :shrug:

[Starry Messenger]

34. You have been assimilated! :)

My brother hooked me in last spring. I started a topic on the DU Facebook page for people to add their favorite legendary DU threads.

http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=2426871461&topic=5979

I added a few, but I think it would be fun to have a lot of different DU-ers put in their faves.

[Mike 03]

38. Incredible as it is to say, this is the most exciting thing I've done in eighteen months, is

sign up at facebook.

[bigwillq]

40. The FB is awesome!

I am such an FB addict!

Check your PM!

[Mike 03]

41. I couldn't even do this right. I'm trying to sign up and it keeps telling me

that my email is "unsupported". It's the email I entered and the only email I have.

Hilarious. Story of my life lately.

[bigwillq]

42. I have no idea

what that means. What kind of e-mail server (i.e. yahoo,etc..) is it? :shrug:

[Mike 03]

43. Wait, nevermind. When I put my google email in there, I already had seven friends

Wow. This is cool

EDIT:

Nevermind, it's working now. This is really nice. I recognize everyone on my friends list, and I didn't even do anything...


Should I type my EXACT city or my nearest real, big, worthwhile city for the "find my network" part of the sign in?

[darkstar]

44. Would one of you send me a PM w/ a way to put

myself forward on the DU group? I'm about 3 months in and still a bit of a moron at this.

Thanks in advance....

[Mike 03]

45. Is there any way to find out how to invite DU people to be our

friends?

All I got was five hundred people from the university I went to. I would much rather have friends here than them.

[Mike 03]

46. This is so cool and so amazing

When I signed up, at least ten people turned up on my list of friends that I have not been in contact with for a year or more. I don't know how this works, but it is fantastic to be back in touch with these people.

Amazing.

[gristy]

48. Had you talked with those ten friends by email?

FB knows you by your email address, and probably each of those ten friends had dumped their email address book to facebook at some point after they joined.

[Midlodemocrat]

47. I did, too. I'm still trying to figure it out.
