Now on Facebook

added you Bill!

I agree with the other posters about the target market for these sites

I saw the founder of facebook giving a presentation to corporate investors

He actually said it wsnt a social networking platform but in fact a multi billion dollar marketers dream with all that info about people

Once they get your tastes, you get flooded with junk

My alter ego has his facebook page but with all the bloody ridiculous pop ups, apps and notifications either disabled or not responded to

I find advertising on facebook very creepy. As soon as I changed my relationship status to engaged, all I got were wedding advertisements, lose weight for your wedding, hotels, etc. And when I came to Canada, all I've been getting is Canadian weddings and winter gear. Very clever, but very creepy.

Am I being naive but surely if you ignore all the pop-ups, don't subscribe to 'singles' bollocks and don't play their effing silly games, it is just social networking.

Yah that was brought up too - his respons was that stats show that most play their silly games


Update :
Ok so I have succumbed and joined FB properly and already have some nice friends in my list!
Im still blocking applications though (except pie fling!)

I know one of my friends (a real friend and a Facebook one) who enjoys the games and invites, but I don't have any time for it (literally). Hayley has a page on Tagged and she says that's worse!

By the way, which one of these is you? I really wasn't sure

I would go with either the middle one or the bottom one. Definitely not the top one!!! Lol...Bill, consider yourself added!

[dirtydids]

Good God! You are one up on me, you big kid you. Have you been hanging around the shopping centre in your hoody again?

Now thats funny

[Hayley]

I still can't believe he's done this!

I think he's still recovering from the day recently somebody in the pub spotted him smoking his pipe and said he looked like Jack Hargreaves! Call it belated mid-life crisis.

Facebook's legendary, mostly because its full of things that makes simple people like me happy

For example, go to the bottom and set your language to English (Pirate)

[slimeysophie]

YAY!!! I'm not the only one who discovered Pirate mode!!! It is sooooo cool!!! Oooooo Arrrgghhhh!!!
