This might sound like a daft question, but how do you work facebook? Today at work, collegues was on about facebook saying i should go on it they think it's great. Been on it but can't find anywhere on it what you are meant to do. Thanks.

Don't know how it works, but heard yesterday Microsoft bought a 1.6% stake in the company...for $240 million.

The guy who started it three years ago is still only twenty three.

How I wish I'd been a nerd, instead of an arty farty student.:D

Re: Facebook
 

i love facebook, its fun, you basically take the mick outta your friends on it

Re: Facebook
 

Dont worry sara your not on your own. I dont see the attraction either. I joined up and it seemed very basic to me. Lost interest very quickly.

Re: Facebook
 

ignore the narrow minded person in the corner sara, its good

Re: Facebook
 

Re: Facebook
 

I once asked someone what it was all about, asked someone at work if it was like Myspace this person said `something to that effect' they said. like a social net workinging site kind of thing.

You need to open an account to use it as far as i can make out anyway.

Re: Facebook
 

Im narrow minded because i didnt think it was that much? Its called having your own opinion shaz thats all. You like it i dont simple.

Re: Facebook
 

you two fallen out then?


:D

Re: Facebook
 

I dont know lol

Re: Facebook
 

didnt know you were on it?

Re: Facebook
 

yeah ive been on it for ages jacky

Re: Facebook
 

I’ve been playing with it over the last couple of weeks and I have found it slightly interesting.
There are many groups on there, groups that face book members have created and typically there is a lot of silliness but I found one group that was of interest to me because its about a particular overseas high school that I once attended many years ago and as result I have been able to chat and ask questions as to how things are going theses days.

If your interested in a particular area or subject then do a search and see what comes up and if there’s nothing then you can create that subject yourself and see what happens.

Once you have created a group you automatically become that group’s administrator and it is your responsibility to keep the group in check.

As I say though, there is a lot of silliness, probably due to the fact that there are a lot of young ones on there and perhaps if some of the more mature members were to create more mature/ sensible groups then I think it could do well.

:)

Re: Facebook
 

Notice a certain moderator on there in his Christmas outfit !!.. tried to make friends but summat went wrong.

They are mainly 'young' people on there and feel a little ancient. Son directed me to it when he was out in Singapore, so that I could keep track of him. as he was putting photos up and was very comforting to know that he was OK. Don't like noseing in too much on him now, as comments from his friends, etc., :eek:

Yes, Len think the groups are very good, although not very active meself, just all good fun.

Had to get a yahoo E-mail as doesn't support all providers.

Re: Facebook
 

i like doing the puzzles on it and the quizes

Re: Facebook
 

I applied to join but haven't got my e-mail to confirm yet. Will give it a whirl when I can confirm.

Re: Facebook
 

It will not let me in, I don't blame it:D but I shall persivere, Unlike the nun I hate being licked:D

Re: Facebook
 

Have got in but haven't a clue what it's meant to be for, apart from finding out whose friends with who.

Re: Facebook
 

Can't find the puzzles and quizzes flashy, give us a clue please.

Re: Facebook
 

Did they send you an e-mail and you had to confirm you got it?

Re: Facebook
 

ive been signed up a few weeks really dont understand what its about just a load of peoples photos i think lol oh well i guess if there sany thing that is interesting on i will work out how to find it lo

Re: Facebook
 

They did send me an e-mail, i just cut and pasted the link.

Re: Facebook
 

I use Facebook to keep in touch with my nephew at uni.I get to see what he is up to, and check out his photo's and mates. I think Bebo is very similar to Facebook.

Re: Facebook
 

Don't confuse me Janet, can't get my head round facebook never mind another one called bebo.

Re: Facebook
 

Still haven't got my e-mail, until I get that can't get on:(

I signed up a few weeks ago and am addicted now. I'm with Flashy I like doing the quizzes. All you have to do is spend some time and have a mess about on it. Its great.:)

Re: Facebook
 

How on earth do you get about on it????????????

Re: Facebook
 

I'm on Facebook - mostly for scrabble.

Made some new friends that I have a chat with whilst playing scrabble. Playing at the moment with someone from South Africa, another lady who lives in Oregon and a bloke who lives in Guernsey.

Re: Facebook
 

I love going on face book. Spend ages on there after accyweb of course.

Re: Facebook
 

I play Scrabble on it aswell, its great fun, but quite frustrating if the person your playing isn't online, and you have to wait for them to make your move! I've been playing one game fir a week now and only had two goes. lol.

Re: Facebook
 

But how the hell do you get on it to play anything? Please someone let us into the secret;)

Re: Facebook
 

You can import games from uwb games on the Google toolbar Bernie.

Re: Facebook
 

f you like scrabble try ..
Play Scrabulous online for free - at Scrabulous

You don't have to wait because its not a email based site, you play against people that are on the site there and then , I LOVE IT :D

Re: Facebook
 

Yes, I love that site too - I play blitz, it's four minute speed challenge against yourself.

Re: Facebook
 

Yes i enjoy that one too Gayle.:D

Re: Facebook
 

If anyone wants to have a game of scrabble with me - find me on Facebook.

Re: Facebook
 

yes me too

Re: Facebook
 

Are you still playing on scrabulous jackyalex?

Re: Facebook
 

Facebooks great for keeping in touch with people and knowing what others are up to with their lives. The photo tagging bit is the best one, people can tag photos of you and it lets your friends know so they can have a look and comment. :D

Re: Facebook
 

Am on facebook but haven't checked it for ages.....so will be in trouble with my family coz they've all posted on my wall ( so what's new am always in trouble ) :D :D :D

Re: Facebook

Re: Facebook

Re: Facebook
 

Re: Facebook
 

I'll have to have a look at these two sites, facebook and myspace. I've never looked at them before because the only people I've ever heard talk about them until now have been the 18/19/20 year olds at work.

All they seem to discuss on these sites is who they went home with on Saturday night. :eek:

I had no idea you can play scrabble. I like a bit of scrabble. :)

Re: Facebook

Facebook | Login

You've gotta log in to see but that be mine.
I like it a lot for keeping in touch with people from my past schools, and the games are good for wasting lots of time!

Prefer myspace though.

Re: Facebook
 

I'm on my space willow, but don't go on that often. Prefer face book.

Re: Facebook
 

Eeew thank you for making me your friend Anne, don't look so much like Katie no mates now :) ... gosh, you have a lot of fun stuff on yours, will have to investigate more.

Re: Facebook

HI! :D :p

Facebook is where the cool people go.

Re: Facebook
 

I tried to find you on Facebook Flashytart - didn't come up.

Re: Facebook

Re: Facebook
 

Oh Flashy .. you 'aint been banned have you ? :D:D

Re: Facebook
 

Sure Flashy said her name on Facebook was Shanida Sillitoe;)

Re: Facebook
 

Thought you had made it Bernie .. sure I saw your namesake on a mutual friend (that is if you adopted Ian's name lol).. will re-check .. hey, but I'm not good at this either ..:D

Re: Facebook

Re: Facebook

Re: Facebook
 

It's quite ok Katex, only a couple of years to go until i can get on there. But you never know i might pick up a sugar daddy.

Have also tried Flashy and can't get on either. Need all the people i can get on face book, as i have only one friend on it, and it does look sad. Have you logged on lately Flashy and can you get on?

Re: Facebook
 

Have looked in the manchester network and also cut and pasted above name in case i'm spelling it wrong, but still nothing.

Re: Facebook

Re: Facebook
 

I'm just trying to figure out what to do with all these vampires. werewolves and bombs that Anne keeps sending me .. gettin' a complex :(

Re: Facebook
 

Got quite a few myself so wouldn't let it worry you:)

Re: Facebook
 

Lay off, never started a thread with so many posts before, so i'm quite proud. :D

Re: Facebook
 

Did you manage to get on yet Sara?

Re: Facebook
 

I have to be honest, I just press ignore when I get vampire, werewolf, bombs, hot potatoes etc. I usually take the likeness quizzes though and will ALWAYS take up a scrabble challenge if anyone's interested.

Re: Facebook
 

Yes have been on, but not this morning. Meant to be at Asda, so i'm trying not to go onto to many sites.

Re: Facebook
 

How are you finding it?
