What Do I Do with My Facebook Now That I've Joined?

[chefann]

OK- now I see you, Crystal. But there's no "add as friend" link next to your name. Weird.
I'm Ann Sz over there.

 

[dianevill]

I see you, too, Crystal, but can't invite you to be a friend? Maybe it's something you can turn on and off???

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

Wow, hot and cold running friends.

Hey Linda, I just found something new! WHen you click on "Home", scroll all the way to the bottom of the page. At the bottom left, there is an "options for news feed". If you click here, you can change the types of things you will see, and also change how much you see from different people! This is going to come in handy...

And be sure you check out your own privacy settings for how much people can see of your own "posts" and comments.

Thank you and may the Lord bless you. I've been wondering where that is. A friend of mine told me about it, but she couldn't remember where she found it. I have a lot of junior high kids as "friends" (volleyball players, relatives, my kids' friends, etc.) I don't need to see all that stuff. Hopefully, adding their names makes a difference on the newsfeeds.

You clearly listen as well as The Furry Guy. I blame testosterone poisoning.

Hey all - I've been gone all afternoon and evening (I took DS to the circus - too much fun!) anyhow, I check my email and I have @ 25 facebook emails....I'm almost afraid to go on fb and see what's happening over there

Be patient with me while I figure this out - I will get around to accepting all the friend requests.

One of the biggest helpers was I took off the option to get emails from FB! There were just too many even in the first couple days to keep up with!

 

[pamperedlinda]

new question - if I have all my stuff set to friends only - what happens when I join a public group - can they see my stuff too?

I need to do that...

Oh my goodness! THANK YOU!! I never saw this down there....I could never figure out why some people's updates and photos would show up on my page and some wouldn't! Now I can set it for those that I *DO* want to see more of...and less of others!

You learn something new everyday......:thumbup::thumbup:

 

[wadesgirl]

I need to do that...

Yes, after the first day of emails I went in and fixed that right away. I already come home to several emails a day I didn't want any more.

 

[chefann]

OK- which Cheffer is Allison T. J. (I'm not putting full name for privacy). She popped up on my "requesting friend" and showed Rae as a common friend. I feel like a dufus, but will admit that I'm not sure who she is....

 

[raebates]

I'm fairly certain that's wadesgirl.

 

[chefann]

I got clarification on who it is, thanks.

How does a dufus feel? I feel with my fingers, so I can't help but wonder how a dufus does.

I hear The Kat Lady had a new friend request.

 

[Cindycooks]

The "newsfeed" is the best part ever. I love being able to see "less" of some of my wierd crazy relatives like the 49 yr old male cousin to joined a group "its okay to breast feed in public" and it meant it for real because he's earthly like that, not that he wants to see boobies. Just kinda strange......

I'm Cindy Stephens Taylor in NC if any of you wanna add me....its very addicting but not as much as it was at first - back in December, you had to pry me away.

 

[chefann]

We're going to gossip about you. 'Specially 'cuz I might lose my Fox Point connection. BIL had an interview in Lexington, KY Friday.

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

Where do I apply for his current job?

 

[chefann]

*giggle* Since he's not currently working, that's not an issue. Just send your resume, written on a dog turd, to your current boss. You'll soon have the same position that BIL has.

 

[chefshawna]

O.k. if anyone from here wants to be my friend, I'm on FB too. I'm Shawna Scarff Floyd on FB. I feel like I'm in grade school begging for friends, please, please be my friend. LOL

That's what I feel like, when I send friend requests.

Um, no thanks. That one already appears on my resume in several places.

"Dear Mr. KG: Could you please explain these big gaps in employment on your resume?"

Why, yes, Mr. No-Longer-A-Potential-Boss, those would be the times I was staying at the State Institution for the Criminally Insa...er...when I was unemployed.

 

[chefann]

Maybe you need to set up an account on LinkedIn. That site is more professionally-oriented than FB. I've heard it's a good place to connect with people when looking for employment.

I wanna be friends with people too! Send me a PM with your info and I'll find you... Rae, what's your fb name? KG, what's yours?

My DH loves that site! It is very professional.

 

[SeeMe4PC]

I am on Facebook, also. Had to eat my words since I cruelly harassed the DH when he created his account. "What? Do you think you are 17, again? Seriously?", I taunted and groaned as he signed on EVERY night for hours.He finally convinced me to create an account and now I have reconnected with high school buddies and neighbors from YEARS ago that I probably would have never thought of again. I truly enjoy it!Not big into all the little messages like y'all referred to - just don't have enough time. I did them all at first but now just log on to catch up with local and out of town friends.Look me up if you are interested - Tara Nieberding Newby BrownP.S. Thank you so much to the cheffer that posted about the News Feed - I found that last week and could not remember for the life of me where it was - have been searching for days thinking I was crazy....

 

[pamperedlinda]

I'm figuring fb out .....but, now I'm getting secret crush alerts and I have to pay to have it sent to my phone so I can see who it is - what the heck is that all about? How can opt out of getting that kind of crap?

 

[PamperChefCarol]

I have the highest security on FB, no one can find me there at all.

I never joined!

I haven't got enough time to maintain relationships on all my other sites without getting started on Facebook. Although, I fear that I may soon have to surrender and put up a page. "WHAT! You're not on Facebook?!?"

Um, no. But I'm starting to feel like the last holdout in North American.

Don't feel alone, I am not on FC and don't see myself being on it in the near or distant future. My daughter thought it was incredible that I wasn't on it and I just told her that I didn't need another reason to sit at the computer.

 

[janetupnorth]

Don't click on it Linda!What's funny to do on facebook is search for your name and see all the others out there on Facebook with your same name! There are actually 2 others with my first and last name!!!!

 

[pamperedlinda]

Don't click on it Linda!

well, I did click on it - that's how I found out they wanted my cell phone number and what the charges were Is there a lot of that junk? Can you opt out of solicitations?
