It is my sad duty to report that I have joined the Facebook cult.

[GOPisEvil]

I'm not proud. :cry:

[Richardo]

1. I did for about a month

Then I deactivated.

I still really don't 'get' social networking sites I guess. :dunce: /geezer

[GOPisEvil]

2. Well, now that I have moved, it will be easier to keep up with friends.

Or so goes the theory. I also wouldn't die if I met some friends up this way, but I'm not really using it for that.

How's the beard coming along? :D

Edit - if any of my friends here at DU want to socially network with me, I wouldn't be too averse to that either. :D

[Zavulon]

3. Not me.

I made the MySpace mistake. I will not under any circumstances join Facebook.

I've seen how it works and can't believe it's popular. Virtual snowball fights, virtual drinks - even my nephew, who's six thinks it's stupid.

[GOPisEvil]

4. Oh, I'm not doing anything like that.

It's more to keep in touch with my far-flung friends.

[Zavulon]

9. YOU might not, but

just wait until some of your far-flung friends start sending you quizzes, snowballs and dumbass dumbass virtual drinks. My boss does nothing but complain about this.

It's only a matter of time, friend. You'll see.

[GOPisEvil]

11. Then I'll pull the page.

No biggie.

[unpossibles]

15. I just ignore most of that

You can block applications too.

It's like not owning a TV because you don't like ESPN.

[Zavulon]

17. Well, not being a Facebook user,

I didn't know you could block those things. Doesn't make me want to join, though.

[conscious evolution]

29. That crap totally sucks

And when you ignore it people get pissed.EERRRR!!11!1!

Face is good for some things though.What I like is that it is easy to get word out to friends quick.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

5. I continue to vacillate back and forth

Join and find people I have not seen in Years...

not Join because OMG!!! WTF !!!!

my decision is MAYBE :D

[GOPisEvil]

6. I'm really bad about e-mailing and calling friends.

Since I moved across the country and I won't run into my friends at the store anymore, I've decided to join up. If I hate it, I can just stop. ;)

[Tuesday Afternoon]

7. well MySpace sucked so hard. --

but, 5 high schools in 4 years in 3 states some 20+ years ago and you can see my dilemma :D

[GOPisEvil]

8. Zoiks!

Uh, yeah, I see the issue there.:scared:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

10. heehee

yeah...I wonder what happened to some of those people, you know?

Not sure if they let people join Facebook from prison :D

[SKKY]

12. At least it isn't owned by Rupert Murdoch...

...Don't be so hard on yourself. It's hard to resist sometimes.

[GOPisEvil]

13. I feel so weak.

:D

[grannylib]

14. I have as well...and I've re-connected with some long-lost friends from

high school, former workmates, etc...love that aspect of it!
:hi:

[GOPisEvil]

16. When I sent my relocation e-mail to my friends, many of them asked if I was on.

So, I decided to take the plunge.

I can live without most of the people from High School. But, if I just keep up with my friends it's a good thing.

[ikojo]

18. Welcome...I like it better than

myspace. It's not as loud.

[Debi]

19. Friend me!

:hi:

[GOPisEvil]

20. Check yer pm.

:hi:

[Debi]

31. Ha ha - there's like 150 guys with your name on Facebook.

I pm'd you my name - friend me!

[GOPisEvil]

32. LOL - ok.

[GOPisEvil]

33. Request sent!

[graywarrior]

[GOPisEvil]

22. Found ya!

:hi:

[graywarrior]

24. Weeeeeee eeeeeee eeeeeeeeee eeeeeeee eee!

Gotcha!

[GOPisEvil]

25. I had to hunt!

Thank goodness for the DU group. :D

[graywarrior]

35. I hide in plain site.

[underpants]

23. I hear they have some hot chicks there

some come with "extras" ;-) :scared:

[GOPisEvil]

27. I, uh, extra what?

:scared:

[trof]

26. You SHOULD be ashamed. Look ashamed.

A grown man like you.
Honestly.
:eyes:

[GOPisEvil]

28. I'm just trying to hang on to the last vestiges of youth.

Or something.

[fortyfeetunder]

30. Yes, social networking is hard work

I was incapacitated for a week and had to play catchup on this Facebook correspondence...yikes!

[dpbrown]

34. I've got like 300 friends on Facebook

It's almost like I'm popular or something.

[LynzM]

36. Wheee!

Welcome to the dark side.




... we have cookies. :P

[GOPisEvil]

37. Mmm...cookies...

:9

I'm doomed. DOOMED.
