Facebook

Ok, I finally bit the bullet and created a Facebook account!! I think I just sold my soul to the devil!! Now I just need to take the time to put stuff on my profile and most importantly, set all my privacy settings. I already changed the primary privacy setting to "friends only". I found a good post about using lists to keep things organized and specify who can see what. Only problem is it looks like you have to have friends before you can set up lists.

LOL.

Welcome to the dark side.

It's about time! FB isn't evil, it's just, well...a little less than evil. You do have to watch your security settings, and you have to be careful what you post in case it pops up somewhere that you didn't intend for it to be.

Sometimes you think someone has "un-friended" you, but it turns out that they just cancelled their FB account. That's happened to me a couple of times.

I've had people who lost their accounts due to being hacked and so FB had to delete their account for them and have it restarted. Thats happened a few times to a couple friends of mine and yes, I thought that they un-friended me and I was so upset. LOL

I try at least give people something to laugh about, engage them in conversation or show a picture because friends LOVE pi cs and videos. I don't like to do much of the, "well this is my 3rd trip to the bathroom" type posts. I come from 10 years of blogging, so FB is kind of different for me rather than an actual status update all the time.

Now I have to update TWO profiles, mine and my alter ego, Eve Angelica. She's popular, but doesn't update much.

Welcome to the dark side.

Funny, my first post to my wall I was gonna say "I'm on FB! Did I just sell my soul??" So far it's not too bad, although I haven't checked it out much. I wasn't feeling good today so haven't touched it really. I did get a friend request from someone I have no idea who they are. They live near where I used to live. I did a search for people who have my HS listed but didn't see her. Think I'll ignore that one.
