Facebook, whats that all about?

[(RIP) PLANK]

I have recently taken charge of my own personal facebook thingy,

now I have looked at a few peoples 'spaces' and quite frankly I am out of my depth, it seems a bit chaotic with tag's and stuff I have absolutely no idea what it is all about.

I liked the idea of it but now im thinking it is a bit odd! To quote monty Pythons Holy Grail, 'tis a silly place'

does anyone have any advice or comments on what sort of thing I should put on there and why?

Or is it best avoided?

Sounds familiar mate. :lol:

so far it seems two no votes?

 

[rag1873]

Id go for a NO as well. We arent allowed them due to my type of work as its very easy for folk (and the press) to hack in and before you know it your personal life is plastered all over the papers or other parts of the internet. Its also a very easy way of sending viruses to tonnes of computers at once!!

and its a NO from me too


my ex wifes there and a few people that have caused me BIG problems


i do havea page, but i dont look there any more

I wont ask what you do then as it might compromise you :wink: so my hectic social life could become public property, I could end up being followed by snappers on mopeds oh dear its not looking good so far!

well I started this one over 2 years ago and have never even added a photo or my profile! but recently I have fancied getting a bit more invloved hence the thread. It does all seem a bit (at best) pointless though!

I suppose I feel a bit old and out of touch but then when I try this I feel even older and more out of touch :?

Pointless waste of time
Here you get info chat play games (ONE for willow only ) go and have a go
:lol: I would never do a face book. I have only heard bad things or boredom.
Just my view :smile:

i have fb account, only cos so many folks at work are on it too.

handy way to keep in touch if off work or leave without grabbing
contact details.

alot of tripe there too, personally avoid the global interest groups
for fear of spammings. also hide your full date of birth to avoid
id theft.

anyone else from here on there, i'm under my name richard thomas
of sheffield group, piccy of me and nipper at moment.

I have facebook and Bebo, there is a lot of 'rubbis' for want of better words but its hand for keeping in tough.

 

[wildbri]

I am on face book, my boys live 300 miles from home so i can see their photos and what they are up to..........use it to send pics to family in usa..
bri :smile:

 

[Jocky]

Is email now out of date, for keeping in touch 8O

I know the telephone is -rotfl- -nerd-

 

[willow]

Nice one jocky :lol: :lol:

 

[(RIP) PLANK]

I suppose its only as good as your contacts on there!

I think willow is right, the on line community we have here has grown over time and perhaps for many of the face book entries i have seen people are just trying to build a community too fast with no common ground :?

 

[wolf]

Although i have a facebook acount i rarely use it! but i use bebo daily, mainly keeping intouch with family and her indoors of course!!
