I finally caved and signed up on Facebook
and I've wasted the last few hours fucking around on it and stalking - I mean looking up people I used to work with, go to school with and other DUers.... and trying to figure out how the fucking thing works. Myspace was idiot proof.

If you are one of my 6 new friends you'd know that I am, "suffering from "phantom peeing on leg" syndrome."

13. She won't be my friend

And you're one of the 6 that know of my new affliction.

7. Maybe that's not so bad.
Three weeks ago I ended up making a MySpace page, but it was just to find out some information on another MySpace person I'd been looking for. These sites do serve a purpose, and getting in touch with old friends is a great reason to explore them.

I'm kind of curious though, I wonder which is better, MySpace or FaceBook, or some other. I used to have a LiveJournal a few years ago, but got rid of it.

16. Facebook is better. It's more straightforward in terms of finding and
catching up with friends. There are all kinds of games and apps if you want to do them, but you don't have to. MySpace always seemed like too much work to me, you had to make your page all cool and add backgrounds and music and shit.

My brother hooked me in last spring. I started a topic on the DU Facebook page for people to add their favorite legendary DU threads.

http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=2426871461&topic=5979

I added a few, but I think it would be fun to have a lot of different DU-ers put in their faves.

38. Incredible as it is to say, this is the most exciting thing I've done in eighteen months, is
sign up at facebook.

41. I couldn't even do this right. I'm trying to sign up and it keeps telling me
that my email is "unsupported". It's the email I entered and the only email I have.

Hilarious. Story of my life lately.

43. Wait, nevermind. When I put my google email in there, I already had seven friends
Edited on Fri Jan-16-09 08:40 PM by Mike 03
Wow. This is cool

EDIT:

Nevermind, it's working now. This is really nice. I recognize everyone on my friends list, and I didn't even do anything...


Should I type my EXACT city or my nearest real, big, worthwhile city for the "find my network" part of the sign in?

myself forward on the DU group? I'm about 3 months in and still a bit of a moron at this.

Thanks in advance....

45. Is there any way to find out how to invite DU people to be our
friends?

All I got was five hundred people from the university I went to. I would much rather have friends here than them.

46. This is so cool and so amazing
When I signed up, at least ten people turned up on my list of friends that I have not been in contact with for a year or more. I don't know how this works, but it is fantastic to be back in touch with these people.

Amazing.

48. Had you talked with those ten friends by email?
FB knows you by your email address, and probably each of those ten friends had dumped their email address book to facebook at some point after they joined.
