This is an archived legacy thread. Replies are closed, but the discussion is preserved.

I'm really shit at Facebook, it baffles me, I can never work out how to respond directly to most things, and there are so many different places for incomming stuff to hide.

I wish to apologize to all my nool facebook friends who send me extremely funny things all the time. I read 'em, I laugh, and I mean to respond, it's just I don't always manage it.

If you haven't had a reply,sorry.

BTW, Edd, the Ralf schumacher "just fuck off" nearly put me in hospital I laughed so hard.

Apoligies from me too to those that have challenged me to games.I accept the challenge which means adding the application but then i can't work out how /where the challenge has got to.Haven't got the time either.Apoligies to Kath too who has sent me many fortune cookies but i haven't worked out hwo to send one back.It appeared i'd sent some drinks to myself the other day also.Which was a result i suppose!! :spit:

Yeah people keep doing pirate things at me, and every time I try to respond all I get is a page telling me I already have pirates installed....thanks....what about a link to the page where you USE it.

Half baked apps are a plague on facebook, but it's still better than myspace.

Burt, I will specially look for that friend request mate ;)

I agree, dont see why people are interested in Myspace, Bebo, Facebook etc. Ok, i post on forums, but not interested in all this "How many friends have you got?" thing.

Its bollocks, get a life.

NOOLs the only forum thing i go on. Coz i like the nice layout. simple as that.

I think I want it on a T-shirt.

Seriously though, life will be so dull without ralf to drive into his team mate, or his brother, or half the field, or someone else's pitbox. or for him to scream like a baby over the team radio, or ruin races by holding uo his brother's competitors etc etc etc. Someone will have to hire at least another 2 Japanese drivers to replace him (at least on track, I can't imagine any Japanese acting like him in other ways).

BTW, I finally realised that the only fuckin way to find old friend requests is to actually click on the email link in one, so yous are all confirmified now ;)

Don't you think it's rude when you get a message saying "you;re friend who is more bored than you has sent an invite using yet another potentially dodgy, spamridden app" and the only options it gives are accept and "ignore", how rude, surely "no thank you" or "decline" would be nicer (thanks to el-reg for that little thought)

Am rapidly coming to the conclusion that Facebook is a load of tramp's wank.

What is it for?

At least with Myspace you can stay in touch with a band's activities, early notification of gigs, listen to tracks in full etc, if you're interested in going out to gigs that is. Facebook just seems to be about loads of daft-arse "applications" that serve no purpose IMHO. Am thinking of binning it.

Reckon it could go the same way as Friendster. 20m users in 2003, 1m in 2007.

What JG said.

There's all sorts of weird privacy issues too, that no one realises.

If someone tags you in a picture, all of your friends can see that picture, even the people who don't know the person that posted the pic, and even if the person that posted the pic made them viewable to 'friends only'.

This means that if one of your mates tags a pic of you off your nut, all of your normal friends who you work with get an alert and a helpful link straight to the pic.

So it's shit, basically :nod:

Glad to know i'm not the only one who's thinking of kicking it into touch.I have actually deactivated it a couple of times then had a change of mind.I can't access it at work anyway so the idea of it being something to pass the day isn't something i can indulge in and i certainly can't be arsed to play scrabble in my valuable spare time!!!

I've been suspecting the Facebook backlash wouldn't be far around the corner and it seems to be gaining momentum.

Friendster? kin ell , that's a blst from the past!! Face Ache will be too, soon

Is that cos you're 'The Vikings' on gayspace, and just plain old JG on Facebook?! :shades: :lol:

Facebook is shirley more of a little catch-up point for friends? Most of the people I'm friends with there I actually know and have an interest in what they're up to. Gayspace is more of a networking tool selling yerself to total strangers?! Totally different markets, no? A band can use myspace to get its message across but they'd just be spamming if they attempted summat similar on Facebook.

Nail on head! :nod:

However, both sites are starting to merge, in terms of functionality - i.e. Myspace have seemingly just introduced status updates, and the ability to tag other people in photos...

And Facebook is about to start a music-style profile, similar to Myspace...

Personally, I use Facebook for friends, and Myspace for Music stuff, however tend to use Myspace less nowadays...

I very rarely bother with MySpace these days, can't remember the last time I logged in, but Facebook has been very useful for me in catching up with some old mates who I haven't seen for quite a while.
