Apparently 20 people have a crush on me and 3 think I'm dumber than dog shit.<BR/>And yet I stay and read the updates (at least I can tell which of my Victorian friends are OK), too polite to refuse friend requests or join causes which I have no hope of helping by clicking a button on a computer."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37871177.post-36809260975595305252009-02-11T18:00:00.000+10:002009-02-11T18:00:00.000+10:00yeah...agree...Ive been thinking about facebook a ...yeah...agree...Ive been thinking about facebook a lot lately and spending way too much time on itscreamishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11877496725306468555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37871177.post-82323006301582399472009-02-10T05:37:00.000+10:002009-02-10T05:37:00.000+10:00I am on Facebook and use it to keep in touch with ...I am on Facebook and use it to keep in touch with family I normally would be able to keep in touch with.<BR/><BR/>But yeah, I get tired of being sent stuff and then feel bad if I do not return the favour.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37871177.post-87575438635072142042009-02-08T00:49:00.000+10:002009-02-08T00:49:00.000+10:00I've not yet figured facebook out.

I have no photos on my profile and very few (comparatively 'friends'. I can't stand the updates telling me that someone has become a fan of Vegemite and someone else hates Crocs. And I really don't care how expert people have become in Texas Hold 'em Poker (and have no idea what that is)!! I've even removed some friends because they kept filling up my Home page thing with annoying crap. I log in every couple of days, check what's going on, and leave.

I do like posting links and update my status regularly during the day. <BR/><BR/>But one thing is for certain - I keep my blog and my FB seperate. I do not want all my old school friends reading my blog which I share soley with selected friends, family and the rest of the world. *heehee*Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05681227038111050561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37871177.post-48681632802531404372009-02-06T11:22:00.000+10:002009-02-06T11:22:00.000+10:00Lol!

I don't bother with the chain mail stuff and willy nilly joining of this group and that.

I persevered this time, just a few weeks ago, and it's basically just opened another avenue of communication. (I still have many issues with it.) But I've not had the headspace to blog lately, but I'm obviously addicted to posting about my life, so at the moment I'm keeping the commentary going on Facebook. <BR/> A funny thing happened though. My husband got a phone call out of the blue one night a week or so ago. An old school friend had found him on facebook (husband hasn't done much more than put his profile up), linked across to me, and then spent hours reading my blog and family website. He rang up to say how much he enjoyed reading what I had written, and what an interesting life we lead. LOL. Funny, but it made my day....<BR/><BR/>I ignore most of the stuff, like chain letters and emails, and most of the tagging that happens with blogging. I'll use it for the purpose that it suits me.Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05906909599853950560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37871177.post-67352442558373411832009-02-06T09:16:00.000+10:002009-02-06T09:16:00.000+10:00FaceBook is the tool by which the aliens plan on s...FaceBook is the tool by which the aliens plan on sucking our brains into their Pina Coladas (with the dinky umbrella)and leaving us addicted to listening to the bleating of a million sheep :P<BR/><BR/>WV =traptsu (traps you) Blogger growed itself a humour button!Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13887495757366973130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37871177.post-70822780894012537322009-02-06T08:44:00.000+10:002009-02-06T08:44:00.000+10:00Facebook is too complicated for me.

But when I discovered that registering was only the first step in an elaborate process, I promptly gave up. I still got people invite me to be their facebook friends, but I so cannot be bothered to even spent 5 minutes trying to figure out how it works, how I find them, or what I am supposed to do. If they want to keep in touch, they have my blog URL, my Flickr URL and of course - I'm oversimplifying now - my email address. But it does sound nice to be able to find out little snippets of info about people that you lost contact with.Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275854881032789432noreply@blogger.com
