Facebook has reached a nexus for me.

Posted by ty97 Jan 5 '09, 08:41

There are two simultaneous things occurring:
1. Old friends, like from college, are finding me. I think I like this a little.
2. Mom, Aunts, Uncles, cousins, Grandma Bobbette's friend Matilda are all finding me and friending me. I hate this.

I may break up with FB soon.

I think Facebook is in the midst of an identity crisis. 13 - 21 year olds don't want to be on the same network as their parents, - JaxSean Jan 5, 08:49 3
- Easily fixed: Facebook needs to create multiple profiles for each user. -- nm - Mop Jan 5, 08:52 2
  - Twoface Book? -- nm - con_carne Jan 5, 08:56 1
    - Damn, that'd be an awesome brand. -- nm - Mop Jan 5, 08:58
on my top ten worst things of the year list, "highschool friends finding me on facebook" is six or seven. -- nm - 2009 loves mandy lane Jan 5, 08:44 22
- Must suck to be popular -- nm - Mr. Havens Jan 5, 09:03
- I find it's hard differentiating on Facebook between High School people whose names I don't know and ST people whose names I don't know. -- nm - Ender Jan 5, 08:58
- This is solved by not having any friends from High School. - JaxSean Jan 5, 08:51 2
  - you know what? this is actually kind of my thing: I didn't like any of them except maybe ten people. so the people friending me are the people - 2009 loves mandy lane Jan 5, 08:54 1
    - It seems people who do this either want to "network" or just have a high amount of friends for their vanity -- nm - con_carne Jan 5, 08:59
- And by the way, this is why I'm on Facebook under an assumed name... - secretslacker Jan 5, 08:50 2
  - You are so odd. -- nm - TFox Jan 5, 08:56
  - that's not your real name? -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 08:53
- I think "My sister posting embarassing pictures of me as a kid" beats that. -- nm - secretslacker Jan 5, 08:49

  - For me they have been people I was friends with for 12-13 years and I had not spoken to them in 20 years...its been great to reconnect. -- nm - Stacy Jan 5, 08:52
  - I have *so* many pending friend requests. I just ignore that section altogether these days. - 2009 loves mandy lane Jan 5, 08:50 1

- there are a few I wouldn't mind keeping in touch with. I've even considered (embarrassing confession) - ty97 Jan 5, 08:46
- this is the fundamental problem with FB for me, and why I so rarely check in on it. - Reagen Jan 5, 08:46 7
  - I've had some nice surprises. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 08:47 1
    - me too. -- nm - Callisto Jan 5, 08:55
  - I mainly use it to play Word Twist. I only joined for the games, really -- nm - ty97 Jan 5, 08:47 4
    - oh, I actively avoid the games. -- nm - Reagen Jan 5, 08:48 2
      - I play wordscraper with my sister (an ongoing game) - Callisto Jan 5, 08:52
      - I block every single application I'm sent. I do, however, play wordcrapper when I have time. like now. which reminds me, mara, do you wordcrap? -- nm - 2009 loves mandy lane Jan 5, 08:50
    - oh crap, I think I have games waiting my moves. (damn swimmy brain) -- nm - Max Jan 5, 08:47
I'm glad this hasn't happened to me yet. -- nm - Jelly Jan 5, 08:42 1
- (sorry.) -- nm - Jelly Jan 5, 08:42
