Preps for a banning.
Just joined Facebook. What happens now? Page 5

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.

Cool! Can't wait to try it out.

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.
Are you a member of the Secret Kitten F**ker Group too? Wow. 
Seriously though, you can go into your Privacy Account settings and uncheck everything so that nothing gets recorded.
It seems pointless, that Wal thing, when it says you joind this or added a friend.
I do send the odd app but I only do it if I think that person may be interested and I don't do it often.
The people who should really be shot are those who only add you in order to send you all their apps crap and chain mail so they don't have to annoy their real friends with it.
I'm not gona bother with apps.
My profile will do. It's got all it needs. (my info, links to my websites etc)
Thanks for all the Friend additions, guys n gals.
Now I don't look so much of an FB newbie. 
It keeps coming up to be friends with you Mikey... Should I? Shouldn't I?
Ha ha. 'Sup to you, Ellie.
Luckily it doesn't require you to meet me in person.
Give me one good reason...
er....
er...
(damn, I was never good at this!)
er....
Coz... I like your hat.
(eh? What the fork was that all about?)
Haha!
Actually, is that all FB is about? Adding friends.
Coz here's very little else on there.
What I thought was REALLY funny was the "status" of what some people are looking for. You know, like Friendship, Dating, etc.
There are loads of people on there with the status: "Whatever They Can Get."
heh heh!
Then I looked in my own FB admin, and I don't seem to have that as an option. There's only Friendship, Dating, Networking and A Relationship now.

The point of social network sites is to recreate, as much as is possible, real-life interactions with friends. So you can share photos, stories, chat to your friends, join groups, etc.
Oh, yeah, I know what they're for, but they don't really seem to have any decent features.
A blog would be a good addition. Oh, and I'd like to add some of my own music on there (like that kiddie site myspace) but they haven't got that.
Mind you.... all those youngsters seem to think that social networking is a new thing...
...but it isn't, coz I remember doing all that kind of stuff in 1999.

I believe you can post songs and videos and shit. Don't know how, mind.
And there's a notes feature, or something along those lines, which can be used in a blog-like manner.
