BB FANS

My biggest challenge will be to not get thrown off this one for being abusive, as happened on another well known social networking site!

Facebook is a bit of a mystery to me, having only joined yesterday.

I do find the 'how do you know' so-and-so question a bit strange.

The rebel in me wants to put something like 'we met at a gonorrhoea clinic'. *

I like the random madness of MySpace, - a lot of my 'friends' on there are bands, but I'm 'met' some real people on there for funny reasons (e.g. someone said 'I'm in love with someone with the same name as you, but they don't even know I exist. I'm collecting people with her name...can I add you to my collection?'. Seemed like an excellent reason to be friends, to me).

Facebook seems to expect me to have friends in real life - work colleagues and school friends. It's so long since I was at school, I can't remember if the telephone had been invented, let alone computers, and most of my work colleagues are so old and decrepit, they'd be doing well to work out how to turn the t.v. on, let alone navigate around Facebook...

Or am I just assuming they are as bad as me?

* Edit: I see great minds think alike. One friend has said she knows me from when I lived in a secure mental facility - now that's more like it.

Bad post GG. Now you are in trouble.

I joined today.

I just signed up too, thanks for the add Cameron.

Now to learn how it works

We should start up a BBfans network.


Cameron and Westy if I add you, is that a bit stalker-like behaviour?

Not at all feel free. I think i've kinda worked out how to do it now

Hurrah!

I will go and log on and catch up on all the news....

Cameron and Westy, I will send you a thingy. (that's assuming you WANT to be friends with a strange yokel, anyhow....!)

One thing someone was telling me the other day is never to put your full date of birth or address on a site like this, esp if you use your real name too, as it could be used by fraudsters.

Is Facebook different, as only friends can see your page?

I never put my address up and fake a DOB to avoid identity theft, such is the times we live in

I'm 99 on myspace and 67 on facebook

If anyone is cool with putting my dob, (old hag that I am ) they are welcome to steal my identity. Btw if someone steals mine, can I swop with them, maybe theirs is more interesting.

Loving facebook, it's much more fun than myspace

Especially when you can throw sheep at people....

Throw sheep?!!!!

One of my friends from uni keeps telling me to get Facebook as it is "more mature" than bebo! Another argument against him
