Title: Facebook?
Post by: JulieS on January 17, 2010, 12:59:38 pm
Well I think I've at last been dragged...kicking and screaming!...into the 21st Century.

My son has persuaded me to join Facebook!

I was under the impression it was just for 'youngsters', but it's surprisingly good.

If you're on there look me up.  Julie Schreiber......You'll see a picture of one of my Gloucester Old Spots as my profile picture! lol

I just searched for you - 50 of your name but no pig profile picture.  I searched using your email address and you're on as Skinner with no profile picture

I think I found you Julie - I sent a request to both of your accounts but still haven't found lee and that black puppy.  Even with your email address, Lee - maybe you went on Fb with a different one?

I couldn't find you under julia gratton, so sent a friend request.  Hopefully that will find you.   :)

Hi there, yes got you both, well done. I can never find anybody!  :D
Title: Re: Facebook?
Post by: doganjo on January 19, 2010, 09:04:36 pm
I don't think the search facility is very good
Title: Re: Facebook?
Post by: JulieS on January 20, 2010, 10:58:27 am
I think I've found you all now  :)

It's strange how you can use the search facility on there using the same name and it comes up with different people each time.  It has even suggested people with completely different names.

It's good fun though  :)

(Have incredibly high privacy settings, cos of my job & his family!)
Title: Re: Facebook?
Post by: MiriMaran on January 23, 2010, 08:39:54 pm
You've just reminded me of a question Ruth.  Why do people hide their details?  I have everything on display except address and phone number.  I can understand you Ruth with work e.t.c.

Title: Re: Facebook?
Post by: little blue on January 23, 2010, 08:53:00 pm
 ;D thanks for the sexing post!  :o

Yes, because of work I have to hide details, also I'm quite particular who I want knowing stuff about me and my friends! (we have a policy relating to it, who you can & can't accept as friends)
And my o/h has a complicated family/background, which is why I have only recently joined now some stuff has been resolved.

Nowadays, there's no real privacy anywhere is there?!

Title: Re: Facebook?
Post by: little blue on January 23, 2010, 08:58:27 pm
ps, now you can see some 'farm' photos...  dont worry, theres only a few!
Title: Re: Facebook?
Post by: MiriMaran on January 23, 2010, 08:58:43 pm
I read an article recently about a website where you can put in your credit card details and it posts a message on the website detailing where they have been shopping.  Why would anyone want to do that????
Title: Re: Facebook?
Post by: doganjo on January 23, 2010, 08:59:09 pm
real farm photos I hope, not those stupid facebook farm things ;) ;D
Title: Re: Facebook?
Post by: sandy on January 23, 2010, 09:10:09 pm
Little Blue, am I a security risk too???? I don't even know where to start but I understand...I found it very personal to look at someone on my facebooks Christmas photos...nothing for me to hide...
:pig:only my weight!!
Title: Re: Facebook?
Post by: MiriMaran on January 23, 2010, 09:12:17 pm
The tbing I find strange is that if one of our friends is tagged in a photo on a strangers profile you can then look at all that persons photos even if you don't know them - doesn't seem right to me!
Title: Re: Facebook?
Post by: sandy on January 23, 2010, 09:21:44 pm
I worry about people playing with your identity! I have worked with people with problems all my working life, the most difficult and delicate job was with Child Protection and there must be some of my x clients on Facebook whose children are now adopted!!! I also Fostered a LOT of children, bet some of them are on Facebook!!

just wanted to say... there's been some issues at work regarding facebook -
so if you've lost me, or I've lost any of you, its because I've had to up my settings and theres every chance I've done it wrong and moved some of the wrong stuff!!
So sorry if I have

(not been in it or anywhere for ages as broadband connection is useless and keeps crashing!)

My company is a bit funny about facebook too.......they are known to monitor it and people have been fired due to comments on FB

So I figured it was better not have one  :(

Most of my yapping is done on msn these days
Title: Re: Facebook?
Post by: little blue on April 07, 2010, 08:23:42 pm
same here.
But why would I want to spend time talking about it?!  Much better things to do in my own time thanks very much!

I have it to keep in touch with people I don't see every work-day!

word of caution regarding facebook, even with up to date virus protection with avg eldest daughter opened a friend  request only to get a very nasty virus attack that destroyed said laptop memory, speaking to our IT man its one of the worst sites for it, anyone else had problems?
Title: Re: Facebook?
Post by: doganjo on April 08, 2010, 10:56:09 pm
You have to be aware that links posted on FB can be from evil sources, so even if it appears to be from a friend it may not be in reality.  Better safe than sorry and don't click before checking with the friend first.  I don't see it as a big problem, no more than any other networking site.  You can usually tell by the name of the file anyway and a little common sense goes a long way.

Hello Annie love and GC I am totally a complete lowest of the low when it comes to compootermebobs The thing I cannot understand is these people must have a great command of the workings of them Why don't they write a program to sell and make a few bob It's beyond me it really is.Fortunately this one only has rubbish on it and if some one attacks it Richard just gets his board rubber and wipes every thing off Out of memory every thing and we start again it only takes minutes there is no secret bank files or documents nothing No games other than those that come with XP I am not interested in the slightest.I come on TAS hopefully not upsetting to many and play and switch off and go play in the garden or elsewhere  come back and switch on answer what needs answering and maybe add some thing and have a chortle and switch off until I feel like a play again.Simple as the meerkat says :D ;D :farmer:
