I don't have any apps...apart from Video I think.

I hate them and if anyone sends me any, I block them!

Gold star for Ellie.

To add to my A +

:)

I love hitting that 'ignore all' option in requests.

What the hell is a 'be a tycoon with chr request'?

My favourite is "block all apps from this person". Which I have done for those few who send me millions.

ooooo I didn't know about that option! thanks!

Yep, it's good.

A lady after my own heart :)

Do they know you've done that?

The main bad thing about facebook is that I'm sure that every single tiny move I make or button I click, everyone'll know about.

I'm always uber paranoid not to click anything by accident and get LAURA HAS JOINED THE 'I AM A SECRET KITTEN FUCKER GROUP' popping up on everyone's news page.

Laughing out loud It's true! I hate the way everything is time-stamped.

I often get worried by the same kind of thing. Thankfully a lot of things now ASK you first if you want them to publish a news story or not.

And I will shortly be building a BCG-related Facebook app for my uni work. I expect you all to add it and use it. Or you will be banned. :)

you can change that in your settings. No one knows what I do any more. :)

And no, they don't know you've blocked them.

Like I said in the title, I thought I'd do what everyone else is doing for a change, so I've joined Facbook.
Apparently, it's good for networking.

It's a bit shit, isn't it. I mean, the search don't work very well, and the structure of the profile pages are a bit boring.

Still trying to get the hang of the settings.
Why can't I set it to EVERYONE can view my profile?
Apparently only friends and networks can???

Anyway, what do I do now?

Oh, ~edit~ here's my (rather empty) profile page: http://www.facebook.com/people/Mikey_Jackson/1563332856

Well, that's it. The fun is apparently in joining up and seeing how many (so called) friends you can amass. Once you've done that I'm not sure if there is much else to it.

If you find out something useful it does then can you let me know?

Def.

It has it's uses.

I was very cynical about Facebook at first, and signed up in character because I thought my Grey Bloke would have an account. But in the last couple of weeks it's actually come in very handy for building contacts with people I'd like to work with.

There are hundreds of comedians on there, some of them fairly green-lightable, and you can get messages to them without going through their agents...
