My Facebook Adventure: Keeping Up with My Cousin!

[rennea]

Just recently my cousin ask me to get a facebook account to keep in touch. Anybody else use facebook? I kind of like it, I play scramble a lot on it. Kind of addicting

I have an account to keep in touch with the summer staff at camp...don't log on much. All the add-ons are a pain in the butt and although it's not myspace, the application add-ons aren't really safe. I get tired of the clutter...

Yup on the clutter, I think they are changing it up to stop the "spam". I do love the visual bookshelf, scramble, and trip advisor though. I tend not to accept a lot of stuff that sent to me.

I tried it, I don't like it, but keep the account anyway. I havent logged on in probably a month!

 

[pchefjaime]

I am on it all of the time I love it

I set up an account because my teenagers have accounts. Now I can see what they are up to! I love it because I have found friends of mine that I had lost touch with!!!

I had a myspace (still do, I suppose) to keep up with my little brother. I really didn't like it.My best friend talked me into trying facebook, and I love it! I like that they email me when I get messages (since some people send messages just through that or myspace instead of emailing - very annoying to me!), and I am addicted to Pieces of Flair!!

I haven't figured out how to use it yet - I should have one of my teenage daughters teach me!

Same here, have a teenager and need to keep track of what he is doing
I don't do much else with it though.

Do you facebook?

I usually do when I am reading a book. Can't do it through osmosis!

Sorry I had to before KG did

 

[stefani2]

I love it! - It helps me keep in touch with friends who live far away.

I LOVE Facebook. I have a myspace page too, but I don't like it as much. I started it to keep tabs on my daughter.....but got myself hooked.

I find out some very intresting things about my employees as well

 

[PamperedDor]

ok - I signed up - now what do I do??? I need a lesson!!

 

[stefani2]

I am NOT a good person to ask for a lesson --- My SISTER signed me up, downloaded my photos initially (which is sad - because it is REALLY NOT HARD TO DO), etc. She also set my Privacy Options for me (so just FRIENDS can view my Profile), which I really like.

I like seeing everyone photos and reading their status. Other than that, I am not into FUNWALL and a lot of the other APPS, especially when they ask you to INVITE 20 FRIENDS.... - man, does that even p*ss me off - lol.

Some of the APPS are pretty personal - you TOTALLY learn more about your 'friends' - LMAO.

I am on both Facebook and Myspace, but don't use it daily. I like it to keep up with friends and family that are not close. And, I LOVE Scrable on Facebook.

Really depends on what your looking to do. If you just want to connect with friends and family then you just do a search for their name in the left hand corner. You can also search for different intrests. I love to read so looked up visual bookself and now I can read reviews on books and also keep track of books I have already read. So really depends what your intrests are.

Funwall was one of the first things I added to my page, didn't know at the time what it was. I think it's stupid People send stupid stupid stuff!! Of course it also depends on who your friends are. LOL

 

[stefani2]

Some of the things posted of FUNWALL are pretty funny - but you get SO MANY! and LOTS of doubles, triples, etc. It is frustrating to look at someone Profile Page and see nothing but funwall posts and posts and posts. :yuck:

 

[pampermejolene]

I'm much more of a myspace fan than facebook. I think, maybe it depends on whatever you signed up for first. I was on myspace first and facebook just doesn't seem as user friendly to me. I've been on it for months, maybe even a year and it still takes me 5 minutes of clicking around before I find the right thing so that I can upload a new pic.
I've heard (and this may have changed) that facebook will take your info and sell it and I don't like that.

I have a myspace account and love it. I also have a facebook account...to keep up with my teenage son. However, myspace seems more private to me...maybe its just because teens let everyone know everything. My employees are teens also and I find out a lot of stuff just by checking my facebook account and looking at their accounts. The wall is a bad thing. It is not private at all...everyone can see what is written there. But, it helps me because everytime one of those teenagers post something about a party, sex, trouble at school, etc. I can talk to my son about it. I have told them over and over that you shouldn't put anything on there that you don't want your mother to read...apparently they don't mind their mom's reading that stuff.

I don't do add-ons or apps. Actually my favorite site of this type is yahoo 360 but not many of my friends or family use it.

I have a facebook page. It has been wonderful. I like posting videos I find on YouTube. I always post something uplifting or funny!

Everyone go check out "The Peppermint Twist" video. It is a catchy tune!
