I am... no offence to anyone, but I'm bored of all the invites to install apps I don't want, and having to come up with a new amusing status every three minutes, and the whole friends thing, I'm not very good at that. I only have 12, but I can't stand the rejection of trying to add any of the other people I know on there, and failing... I hate the whole idea of having to formally apply to be someone's friend, there's something very unnatural and unhealthy about the whole thing, and the more I think about it the less I'm sure why I joined in the first place!
I don't mind the applications thing, i think they are quite fun! I just don't like the who has more friends (or people they went to school with but weren't really bothered with or people they have spoken to once) and the pretence about the whole thing. Don't get me wrong, i like that i've got back in contact with a couple of old school friends but apart from that i'm sick of it!
I have no problem with rejecting applications and I'm selective with who I invite to add an application. I don't care how many friends I have, but I'm only making friends with people I actually know, as opposed to the randomers I have on MySpace. If I'm not sure if someone would appreciate being my friend I poke them and wait to see whether they add me or not and if they don't I don't care.
And I've found someone really lovely to play with too.........
Oh and if someone who's your friend writes on your wall, it's considered polite to respond...
but that's just it, a whole new level of manners and protocol and politeness and obligation and etc... I have enough trouble with the social niceties in the real world, without having to worry about what's the done thing on facebook as well! I think I'll do the decent thing and opt out, you all know where to find me..
what an odd thread this has become... anyway, I came back to Facebook just to have a go at the Petersfield children on there, and whinge about the council... I suppose I'll hang around on there, but I won't be polite!
Can't stand all the stupid rituals and games, somewhat creeped out by its openness (I like to keep friends, family and colleagues securely in their little boxes) (metaphorically speaking) but I'm on it all the same. Easily led, you see.
I read somewhere that it had been set up by the CIA. Wouldn't be surprised.
My biggest problem with it is all the spam created by the applications - you get an invite from a friend to add one, and then when you do you're constantly nagged to invite everyone else you know as well, and 9 times out of 10 it's all just a massive pain in the arse and you never wanted the stupid app in the first place... if there was a way I could just switch off all that guff permanently I'd tick that box.
That said, if I ever get time to study it I wouldn't mind setting up some kind of Boinng app on there, just for fun...

I read an article somewhere that recommended creating a work account and a friends account separately. The friend wheel thing certainly made me realise there's no links between the work people I know on there, and my other friends.
I at least have the privacy settings such that photos of me are not visible to whole of London.

I'm currently being flirted with on FB, by a boy I had a bit of a crush on at school and haven't seen for 17 years!! Cool.
