I finally caved and signed up on Facebook |
|
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."

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

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.

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.

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.

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=5979I added a few, but I think it would be fun to have a lot of different DU-ers put in their faves.

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.

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

Edited on Fri Jan-16-09 08:40 PM by Mike 03
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?

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

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.

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.
