Admin	Facebook?Friends? Posted : 9 Nov, 2010 09:46 PM I have to ask this.Are you REALLY someones' friend if they add you as a friend on (not promitng anyones business here CDFF)Facebook,Tagged,Twitter,Myspace,Youtube,Yahoo,Stumbleupon, Ning & other social & video sites ?Are they still your friend if you don't know them ?First of all i'm not on any of these sites i've mentioned here (thank God for that too) nor i know any about them except for Youtube who is more like a video site to me. How i know about Facebook & Tagged is that my older sister is on these sites as a member and have many people either she or the people can request you as a friend. I personally don't want to be any friend with people like that who insult & curse you,who shows "dirty houmorious" pics etc. Another reason was when my sister showed me yesterday a man who "request" to a friend & has a ring in his tounge!ew!gross!! Of couse she did'nt accept!!!!:ROFL::ROFL: Post Reply

Tulip89 View Profile History	Facebook?Friends? Posted : 9 Nov, 2010 10:27 PM My Standard for Facebook friendship is if we passed each other on the street, would we stop and have a conversation? If yes, then we can be friends on Facebook. If no, then tough biscuits, cowboy. There's no point in accepting a friend request from someone you don't know. My Friendship Standard has had to be adjusted occasionally though, since every once in a while, I "get to know" someone through our comments on another friend's status. I've had several girls add me as friends because of our conversations who I have never met in person. I'll accept those requests due to the frequency of our electronic interactions. Post Reply
View Profile History	Facebook?Friends? Posted : 9 Nov, 2010 10:30 PM I am on FB, but it started as a project for my Sociology class a few semesters ago. I have a few friends from CDFF, a few relatives, but the majority of my "friends" are prayer groups, gospel music groups, pastors, and other various religious organizaions. There are a few that somehow made their way in since someone hijacked my page a couple weeks ago, but am trying to weed them out. When I first signed on FB, my assignment was to get as many friends as possible within a few short weeks, so I was "friending" folks willy-nilly, but have since weeded quite a few out, since most of them were usually only wanting to play some type of "farmville" game or something. I recently "friended" the Queen of England, but only for the novelty of the idea. I realize we could never be friends in real life, as I'm not very partial to bangers and mash and doubt if Her Royal Highness would take a liking to my chicken fried steak and purple hull peas!

View Profile History	Facebook?Friends? Posted : 10 Nov, 2010 04:39 AM Mr. Wise, you've got a really negative perception of FB that is very one-sided. CDFF is not opposed to FB, but rather us giving out personal info about ourselves, such as FB, email, cell numbers, to strangers. I love FB!!! I've caught up with all old classmates (that I wanted to catch up with), ppl from different parts of my past, like long lost friends from my ex husband's 5 yr stint in the army and old college homies. I've also made new friends from mutual aquaintances, friends and family. There of course, is a negative side to most things. My secret service friend says that they use FB as a guide to patterns of behavior and to find out things since ppl many times put too much personal info on there. I've accepted about 3 ppl thru mutual interest groups that I've deleted because their comments were too suggestive or like you say, for profane & abusive language. But my experience is and has been a very fun, positive time. I'm friends with several ppl from here like Edw (Charles)(Dude has me rollin laughin all the time!), Pixy, Rabbit, Jesuslovesyouandme, etc...Good times!!:peace::bouncy: I have a forum group I started 6 months ago that has about 70 members. It's cool. Don't knock it til you've tried it.:applause: Post Reply
View Profile History	Facebook?Friends? Posted : 10 Nov, 2010 05:26 AM I have a facebook but only accept friendships from actual people I know. I think facebook can be a good thing and a bad depending on your personality and what you are actually looking for. Sadly my fiance's interaction with women online at facebook contributed to the end of our relationship. But on the upside I get to keep in touch with family and friends and look at everyones pics and enjoy them. Post Reply
bcpianogal View Profile History	Facebook?Friends? Posted : 10 Nov, 2010 06:23 AM I do have Facebook, and I love it! BUT, I'm also very careful with what I post on there. I don't have my phone number or address on there, I don't have my birth year, and I don't post stupid things like "Out of town for the next two weeks" or "Home alone for the next few hours." I also don't add just anyone as a friend. I won't add someone that I don't know personally, and I won't add my students. (I feel kinda mean for not adding my students, but I want to keep my personal life just that...personal!) There are, of course, the rare exceptions. I added someone that I met on CDFF even though we hadn't met in person. I DID feel that I could trust him, though. And we've met since then, so all is good! I've found that FB is a good way to find out a lot about a person. It takes some time to go through everything, but it's worth it. When I started dating someone at the beginning of the year, I went to his FB page (we were friends on there) and read every single post he had ever posted on there, as well as every comment made by friends. I also looked at every comment that HE had made on other people's pages (at least, the ones I could see). When I had finished that, I could say that he truly did seem to be exactly who he claimed. It was also through FB that I found out that his mother was a total nut-case...albeit, a nut-case who could hide that fact quite well and act perfectly normal when she wanted to! Moral of all that typing: Facebook is a fun way to keep in touch with old friends and family members (particularly the ones who live on the other side of the country...or world!), but you have to use it responsibly. I've tried MySpace, and didn't like it. Not many of my real-life friends were on there, and I kept getting friend requests (and some inappropriate propositions) from guys I'd never met before. Twitter seems pointless to me, and I've not tried any of the other social networking sites. Post Reply

bcpianogal View Profile History	Facebook?Friends? Posted : 10 Nov, 2010 09:31 AM :ROFL::ROFL::ROFL: I ONLY stalk people who have added me as a friend already! If they want to post things on FB so that people can see them, they are just enabling us FB stalkers. :angel: Seriously, I don't usually look at people's profiles unless we are "friends". Even if I'm interested in them, or met them on a dating site. I guess one recent exception would be the guy I met a few days ago. We were being "set-up" by a mutual friend, so I looked him up...I wanted to know what to expect in the looks department...if he was hideously ugly, I didn't want to look disgusted, and if he was drop-dead gorgeous, I didn't want to faint dead away! :goofball: Post Reply
