beforewisdom Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 I have read articles about how they do so many nasty things in terms of violating your privacy and seizing your content as theirs that I would never use their site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessifly Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 (edited) I am on Facebook too, I'm also not sure how to link... I don't like Facebook much at all, although I'm giving it a chance, I do like some Facebook applications (such as ilike for music).

SeaSiren Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 I have one too. I use it for the groups and had several inquiries and took 2 up on it for modeling contracts. Other than that, I have found them to be not very user friendly at all. They will block / cancel your account if you answer too many PM's (I get almost 100 daily) or request to many friends (I don't do friend requests, but have heard it's an issue). I've gotten so I don't use their apps. I use it to keep fan/friend base updated and keep in touch with photographers, agencies and job opps.

Guest Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 I have one...not sure how to link it either and for some reason looking up a name doesn't always seem to work. As for violating privacy that was an issue early on from stupid mistakes. Now you can let as many or as little access to your info as you want. To me it seems a lot more private than myspace unless you block your info from everyone....plus way less spam...I've never gotten spam and on myspace I get about 15 people that want to do this or that to me every day.

Ravi Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 I really like facebook. Look up Ravi Raman, Microsoft. Most of my friends are tech folks and this site is really popular amongst them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I have yet to be shocked by those PMs because I have people in real life asking the same thing of me all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuc Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Tuukka Simonen, Turku School of Economics here. BTW, try Facebook's "Are you interested" application. After that you should start recieving notifications of people being interested in you. It's "spam" that doesn't bother. There aren't that much real spammers in facebook.

bvp663 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 I used to think facebook was pretty great. It was a clean, professional alternative to the nausea-inducing pages of myspace blasting terrible music at you. However with the advent of facebook's "applications" I feel more uneasy about it and find myself using it less and less. Oh well, if you want to add me do a search for Brian Van Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daywalker Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 I'm on there as Vegan Kryptonite. And all of you who are on facebook: PM me, i'll send you an invitation for Warbook, add the app, and then JOIN THE VEGAN WORLD DOMINATION ARMY!

pamela Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 I'm on facebook. I have a love hate relationship with it. I don't like most of the applications, and it irritates me that I have about 80 "invites" to them. I also don't like how it can be highschool-ish... "de-friending" people and stuff like that. I do like that it has been a great way to promote our local vegan potlucks. I've met quite a few local vegans through facebook who are now personal friends. My favorite part is being poked by daywalker every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's useful for meet ups, gatherings, group training etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigress Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I still don't get myspace so won't even be attempting facebook !!! When I had myspace up for all of a couple of weeks I just kept getting random "friend requests" from strange people allover the world !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I was one of your friends on myspace I think. I'm not "too" strange. I'm still not on facebook. I fear it will eat up all my time, just as myspace did for 3 years........but 25% of the people on the forum came from myspace, so it helped with that. I'm afraid to try "new" things sometime, but I think this week I'll get on facebook and join in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joelbct Posted December 29, 2007 Author Share Posted December 29, 2007 Thanks for the friend adds. Gotta represent the vegan-ness on the inter-net. I had previousely shyed away from Facebook, because the older sister of the harvard kid who started it was on my bus in high school, and she was a bit off-putting in subtle ways. So I think I had a subconscious distaste for Facebook. But so far it seems less commercial than myspace, which is nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
