Facebook

[Janet]

I signed up for Facebook yesterday, but not sure it was the best idea....LOLOL...I don't understand anything about it. Is there an instruction page somewhere????

[DianaB]

I don't know anything about Facebook but I heard that I have cousins that chat on there a lot and they want me to sign up so I'll be figuring it out soon too. You do it first then explain it to me!!!!!

[Lindsey]

Lol Janet, what do you want to know? I'm the facebook queen :D I'm on all day at work, so if I see you online I'll talk to you in the chat at the bottom of your screen!

[Janet]

Thanks for chatting with me Lindsey...it is all very confusing to me right now. I found some people I graduated with, but none I'd really like to correspond with...LOLOL. Oh well. Guess I'm getting a little too old for this stuff.

Lindsey...what does it mean when I search for a friend....a list of people with the same name comes up....some are listed in blue..that you can click on and others listed in black..that you can't click on...what's the deal there?

It all depends on their privacy settings. You know how you joined a network for your area? Well some people have settings so that only people in their network can see their profile. Some people have it so only friends can see their profile. So for anyone you can't click on, you'd have to request to be their friend, and they'd have to accept your request, in order for you to see everything.

[donna1990]

I have been there for a long time but think emails are easier. There is so much STUFF.
I am Donna Hopp, invite me.
I have found a lot of high school friends but most of them are members of Classmates which I love.

[2tiredmom]

I'm on facebook too. Look me up girls if you want. Just let me know.

[donna1990]

You found me.

[Janet]

Okay....I found two Donna Hopp's One is from Tampa and under your avatar it says Riverview...is that you? How is one suppose to know which one is which? 2tiredmom is Linda and I've typed her name in and came up with over 15 pages of her name...how do I know which one is her?

Donna Hopp in Riverview is me.
What name are you using for FaceBook, I will add you to friends.

[Marilyn]

I'm on facebook & you know my full name, so send me a friend's request & I'd love to add you and anyone else on here. My family kept after me so I finally started going on there. They've mostly left MySpace and are on Facebook now. I have some strange looking family, so don't be shocked when you look at my friends. LOL. They are mostly, should I say it, Republican's, except my girls of course, so you will see some radical stuff from them on my wall. I just ignore the political stuff and love them anyway and stick with friendship things.

See y'all on Facebook, and of course, on here, too!!

I don't know your name on FaceBook, mine is Donna Hopp or Donna Trout.

[Gina]

Hi I am on Facebook too. and yes Janet it is somewhat confusing..lol I have come across people from high school that is why I have joined. It is becoming addicted..


Lindsey people are always sending me requests and I allow them? my question is can you catch a virus by doing so ? I see that you can chat on there another feature that I have to join. You just have to be careful what you post on there its open to everyone...

See you all on Facebook.. lol

[donna1990]

did you add me? Donna hopp>

[donna1990]

Well, I added all and see no one on 4wt

[Marilyn]

I don't know your name on FaceBook, mine is Donna Hopp or Donna Trout.

Donna, I sent you a friends request.

Oh, I just checked Facebook and you've accepted me!! YAAAAAAAA!!

[DianaB]

I haven't gotten on Facebook yet. My company left a while ago and I'm too tired to deal with it right now. I'll get on next week sometime.

[Gina]

Well hurry up Diana some of us are on there....

[Janet]

Don't wait until next week.....do it now.....lolol

[DianaB]

I'm too tired. I have literally crashed since my company left.

[Janet]

Okay....you rest.

[DianaB]

I'm on!! I've sent out some friends requests.

[blowry]

I'm on face book too! I really don't know how to use it either...My girls come over and help me with it!!

[Lindsey]

I'm pretty sure you can't catch a virus from applications. I usually ignore most of them anyway! It gets very cluttered after awhile, and you keep getting notifications from applications that you don't even remember :)
Oh, and it doesn't HAVE to be open to everyone. If you have any personal information such as phone numbers, addresses, anything like that, turn your privacy settings higher. If you click on Settings at the top right beside the search area on the right, it gives you the option for Privacy Settings. Most of mine is set to "Only Friends" so that random people can't find my information, just people I have accepted to be on my friends list.

[Janet]

That is what I set mine to also....better to be safe than sorry.

[judy]

I have to go on to Facebook and find you guys. Some of you found me already.
I like Facebook. It's a lot of fun. I've come across some old friends fro high school, from the bungalow colony I used t go to, from my junior high school, and have made some new friends.

I posted a while ago how I reconnected with my cousins, so I really think it's a good thing. It is confusing. I don't allow any requests through. It's too confusing! It takes a lot of time too, and then I can't get on here. There are also some things I totally ignore because I just don't know what they are.

The 25 random things is going around. I'll do it one of these days.

I'm Judy Bloom on facebook. If I don't find you, please find me.

[DianaB]

I'm on face book too! I really don't know how to use it either...My girls come over and help me with it!!

You'll have to send me your name so I can add you to my friends list.

[donna1990]

You'll have to send me your name so I can add you to my friends list.
Are send your email address.

[donna1990]

I get so many emails from everywhere on this earth, selling everything, wanting to give me money, etc, since I joined Face Book. I have my setting as private. I am only in contact with my friends and family.

[Janet]

You have it set to private and you're still getting spam emails? I may not like this....

[DianaB]

You have it set to private and you're still getting spam emails? I may not like this....

Ok, I think that I need to go and change some settings.........I don't want any spam either.

[judy]

I haven't gotten any spam mail. This is odd.

[judy]

I tried to send out valentine's greetings on facebook. I think only a few people got them, and then I lost that page.

I just gave up.

[Janet]

I don't know where all these "gifts" and 'greetings' come from...LOL. I'm still a novice, but it sure takes awhile to accept them. I may start doing as Judy and ignore some....lol

[donna1990]

I ignore a lot of them. Some are stupied.

[DianaB]

I don't understand exactly what all the gifts and angels are for. I haven't accepted but a couple. Someone's going to have to explain why they're there and what they're for.

[donna1990]

They are presents and stuff. I only accept the ones from my friends or relatives and ignore a lot, there are too many.

[Gina]

I guess they are just fun stuff I get so many.. sometimes I ignore...

[Tiramisu]

Yes, I'm an old blonde, but I'm not getting the Facebook idea. What am I not doing?

[DianaB]

I'm finding that Facebook isn't active enough for me. I much, much prefer to be on here. I was told by a cousin that a few of my cousins were on there and chatted all the time. I was hardly even welcomed by my cousins, let alone chatted with them. So I guess if you want to find me.......check here!!!!!

[Janet]

I like it much better here too, but I do check in there everyday. It's different.

[Tiramisu]

Yesterday, I found a dear cousin on Facebook and connected with two of my Hubby's nieces! I just started typing in names, looking for people. I'm still not "addicted" to it, but I do like looking at other people's pictures.

[DianaB]

I'm not addicted either. Like I said before, it's a little too slow for me. I much prefer to be on here.

[donna1990]

I am not addicted either, find most of it boring, the pokes, the invitations, etc.

[judy]

I only go on once or twice a week. It's a great way to keep in touch with my family, share pictures with them, and so on. I also like sharing memories of growing up in my neighborhood with some people I knew and some I honestly don't remember. It's a lot of fun sharing "the old days."

I accept friend requests only. I can't figure out all of the other stuff.

[gja1000]

I accept friend requests only. I can't figure out all of the other stuff.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that can't figure out all the other stuff! LOL!!! I haven't been accepting anything because when I try to, I get this caution message that my information will be "out there" or shared with others (or something, can't remember exactly. LOL) and so I don't accept, I just ignore. If I actually knew what that caution message meant, I might be OK - not sure. There was something on CNN the other day about a worm on facebook and if you open videos and it asks you to download an application to see the video - don't do it because it contains a worm. Things like that make me soooo nervous!!!

[Janet]

I know what you mean Gayle. I have accepted some things. I just get sent soooo much stuff...lol. I like Facebook though...it's kind of fun. I want to find more people from my past......but I can't remember their names....lol....just their faces. Man I hate getting old!!!

I saw the info about the worm on TV so I make sure I don't open any videos....plus I haven't been sent any. I'm on at least once every day...sometimes more....I think it's kind of interestiing.

I saw that also about the worm. You had to download something, I can't remember either but I was careful not to change anything.

[Kalai]

I am on it too . KalaiVinit is the ID. Its easier to keep in touch with friends and share pics and what not.

[Janet]

I'm enjoying it more and more all the time.

[Gina]

I to am starting to ignore all those goodie stuff.. It just gets so out of hand. lol and I don't want to get a worm. I don't open up downloads ...


They are having a high school reunion for my year in the summer, I can't wait to go its been a long time. It is fun finding old friends..

[gja1000]

I just found an old high school friend that I haven't seen in 20 years or so! THAT part is a lot of fun!

I also found an old boyfriend :eek: Actually, he was in love with me - me with him, not so much! LOL! I think of him as one of my best high school buds, he always wanted more, but it was not to be.

[katcarasella]

I'm on there as well, and I'm hooked on Yoville.
It's a virtual world where I have an apartment, job, and a yorkie. You go to work in the Widget Factory every 6 hours to work for 5 seconds, collect your Yo coins, I'm up to 300 coins per shift. Then I go shop for furniture and goodies for my apartment.
I don't accept any of the requests I get because I'm afraid as well, but have been playing around in Yoville for over a month now and have had no problems with that application.
You'd all be surprised to see all the mutual friends we have on there...(YoVille)

If you're not on my friend list yet, feel free to add me to yours.
