At least you're honest.
February 10th, 2010 at 12:57 PM ^
I joined.
February 10th, 2010 at 1:29 PM ^
As did I.
February 10th, 2010 at 3:57 PM ^
Me too!
February 10th, 2010 at 6:07 PM ^
It doesn't take that long.
We need Ben Stiller screaming; do it, do it, do it!

I thought Forrest Gump said something along those lines.
February 10th, 2010 at 1:04 PM ^
We gotta beat them in something this year, dammit. It might as well be this.

I bet Facebook will turn into Myspace if 1,000,000 people join these groups.
February 10th, 2010 at 1:27 PM ^
It's already there.
February 10th, 2010 at 1:33 PM ^
agreed. facebook jumped the shark when they opened up to everyone and not just college students. I get friend requests from "girls" with just one photo and 10 friends at least once a week now.
Next thing you know fb will allow girls to put glitter on their profile...
February 10th, 2010 at 2:12 PM ^
I get requests from girls who allege they went to HS with me. I'm pretty sure my High School was all boys, so unless some of my HS friends went tranny on me, I'm guessing I don't know them.
February 10th, 2010 at 3:39 PM ^
That's my feeling too. Howeva, there's just no market in somebody creating a knockoff Facebook only open to college students/young alums. I feel as though Facebook is tremendously overvalued and is kind of screwed.
Let's put it this way, Facebook has no steady revenue stream outside of ads telling me that I should quit the company I work for, Telling me I can get a free ipad because I'm 22, and telling me to become a SWAT officer and make less than I do now.
If anybody finds something like that that is not called InCircle, please let the rest of the interwebs know.

It turned into myspace when they started adding apps. It was much more useful and a much better user experience when everything was standardized and you couldn't add 800 apps that all notify all your friends when you do something completely pointless.

Sgt. Wolverine thought about updating what's on his mind... typed...and then escaped.

It turned into something worse than MySpace when my mother, father and boss all friend requested me on FB. Boom, there all go all the photo albums from my undergrad. Delete baby.
Myspace is the ghetto of the internet, but at least my parents aren't on it.

There are ways to except out specific people on your friends list from seeing certain aspects of your Facebook, including photos.
Everyone here is smart enough to figure it out, but to save you the effort, follow these steps:
Account --> Privacy Settings --> Profile Information --> Click pull the down next to aspect you want to customize --> Customize --> "Hide This From" = self explanatory
I was fine with co workers and adult family members but once my 12 and 14 year old nieces requested to be my friend, I needed to search out a way to block them from seeing some of my posts. Thankfully, there was a way to allow them to be a friend while not having to always worry about the appropriateness of what I was sharing.
February 10th, 2010 at 5:02 PM ^
Yeah the problem is though, that if people catch you having them on "limited" profile or something like that there can be social fallout. I'd rahter just delete certian things than have to explain to friends/family why some people can see things that others can't.

Try getting a friend request from your wife. And you CAN'T ignore it, or else you've got some 'splaining to do.
February 10th, 2010 at 2:00 PM ^
This is stupid. It's dumb enough that I'm perfectly fine losing to Sparty in it.
February 10th, 2010 at 2:05 PM ^
there is nothing too dumb for me to be willing to lose at it to sparty. Go ahead, try me
February 10th, 2010 at 2:15 PM ^
The way I look at it, Sparty is the bigger loser to wanting to participate in this teenybopper contest in greater numbers than us.
February 10th, 2010 at 3:13 PM ^
Cosigned.
February 10th, 2010 at 3:45 PM ^
I heard the Sparties claim they can sodomize a million sheep before Michigan fans can. Go get them tiger.
/who am I kidding, they accomplished that task decades ago
February 10th, 2010 at 11:20 PM ^
I have a friend that is in charge of the sheep at State. If I get him to "accidently" kill the sheep, we would definitely win the sodomizing competition too.
No one can escape the long arms of the UM influence.

I'm 40. I'm a man. I don't understand a single word of any of this.
February 10th, 2010 at 3:50 PM ^
If you'd simply reversed the order of those two sentences, I would have +1'd you, but alas, you did not.
February 10th, 2010 at 4:18 PM ^
is that you
February 10th, 2010 at 5:54 PM ^
I have no Facebook, sadly though, I do have a Myspace account that my girlfriend/thing/Idontknowwhatsheis created. I don't even know what's on there.
