Facebook
 
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 02-06-2009 08:42 AM

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 02-06-2009 09:20 AM

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 02-06-2009 10:09 AM

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 02-06-2009 11:26 AM

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 02-06-2009 01:06 PM

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

donna1990 02-06-2009 01:29 PM

Janet 02-06-2009 01:36 PM

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

Marilyn 02-06-2009 02:29 PM

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 02-06-2009 04:07 PM

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 02-06-2009 04:22 PM

did you add me? Donna hopp>

donna1990 02-07-2009 10:59 AM

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

Donna, I sent you a friends request.

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

DianaB 02-07-2009 01:20 PM

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 02-07-2009 02:05 PM

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

Janet 02-07-2009 05:00 PM

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

DianaB 02-07-2009 06:01 PM

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

Janet 02-08-2009 05:30 AM

Okay....you rest.

DianaB 02-08-2009 05:06 PM

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

blowry 02-09-2009 05:51 AM

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!!

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 02-10-2009 06:35 AM

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

judy 02-10-2009 07:46 AM

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.

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

Are send your email address.

donna1990 02-11-2009 11:34 AM

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 02-11-2009 02:37 PM

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

DianaB 02-11-2009 03:40 PM

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

judy 02-13-2009 10:20 AM

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

judy 02-13-2009 10:23 AM

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 02-13-2009 11:24 AM

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 02-13-2009 11:33 AM

I ignore a lot of them. Some are stupied.

DianaB 02-14-2009 09:36 AM

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 02-14-2009 11:36 AM

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

Gina 02-14-2009 07:41 PM

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

Tiramisu 02-18-2009 05:59 AM

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

DianaB 02-18-2009 06:31 AM

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!!!!!
