Facebook

[ILOVEFLUID]

Is anyone else addicted to Facebook.  I love it.  i have found friends for way back.  It is a great way to catch up with everyone and a lot of fun as well.  If anyone is on facebook...look me up...Lisa Cooper in the Barrie, On network.

Facebook is a social utility that connects you with the people around you.
Facebook is made up of many networks, each based around a workplace, region, high school or college.

You can use Facebook to:

Share information with people you know.
See what's going on with your friends.
Look up people around you.

It is such a cool way to find friends from the past and present.  You can email them, share funny pics, websites and jokes, share your favorite pictures.  It is a great way to keep in contact with everyone without having to spend hours on the phone.

Sounds like IHD.

It's fun to find people you haven't heard from or seen for a long time. Even people you have forgot about.  I like to look at my kids list of friends, it's interesting to see what they are doing with their lives.

I loving refer to it as "Facebook McTimeSuck" as I'm always checking it for updates, when I should be working.

I started a similar group to the one listed above, however it's more focused on Ontario's Trillium Foundation.

Which would you say is better?  Facebook or MySpace?  I love MySpace but i'd like to know what the differences are as well

i just signed up on facebook yesterday and i haven't recieved ONE piece of junk mail yet, unlike myspace, which continues to send me several pieces of junk daily, even though i've stopped using it entirely. my daughter recruited me so she'd have someone to play scrabble with, online.  i had to be added to the vancouver network, since victoria is so small, i guess.
anybody wants to add me my name is wayne wilson on the vancouver network...

love

[RichardMEL]

I am addicted to playing Scrabble on facebook! LOL

[LightLizard]

can't find you on facebook, richard. you must be using another name...?

love

~LL~

[goofynina]

OK, i have signed up and i am sooo lost, i dont know what to do next, all i do is look at the page and it seems to complicated, 

RichardMel, you are sooooo lucky i dont know my way around Facebook, i would love to beat you in Scrabble  

[LightLizard]

what name are you using on it, nina? you have to be specific, or be forever in limbo.

its pretty easy, once you play around with it a bit.

 

[goofynina]

Hey LL,  i am none other than good ol.... GOOFYNINA     i figure it would be easier for my IHD family to find me that way 

[LightLizard]

ok, i'll look. and i looked thru 20 pages of lisa cooper but couldn't find her.

weird.

[LightLizard]

nope. no luck there, nina. mine is  http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=527407163

but i can't find you on it either.

[goofynina]

I will see if i can find you ok,  maybe it is under my real name perhaps?? i am not sure, but i do know i have an account 

[tubes]

I got on facebook.  I still prefer myspace.  I might try keeping both up.

[goofynina]

There he is, my little buddy, glad you had a safe trip, i am on facebook now trying to check it out, but its all so confusing 

[Amanda From OZ]

Susie everyone i know keep telling me to sign up.... but I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks its confusing, thats why i didn't want to sign up. 

[goofynina]

Well, now that i am really looking into it, it is all coming together, man, it sure does put someone's info "out there" for everyone to see though, lol,  Amanda, do you have a myspace?  i think that one is alot easier than this one. (but i am not going to give up on Facebook)   I have Light Lizard and Tubes as my friends now 

[LightLizard]

i repeat, myspace gives your email address to advertisers, who inundate your inbox with mindless ads, endlessly. facebook allows you more control over notifications, and doesn't give your email address to anyone.

love

[highlite36]

I have BOTH....What I find is that myspace tends to be geared for the younger folks....teenagers....  I find that a good portion of my older buddies are on facebook.....however, ADD ME ON AS A FRIEND!!!!!  :-)
