Apparently it has 67 million members, thats strange considering I'd only ever heard of it here.
I'm sure I heard somewhere that you shouldn't sign up for those rather thrilling applications on Facebook like "Superwall", "Throw something gross" etc as there are "security issues".
Any thoughts guys?
These are the conditions for the "What's your stripper name" application.
Allow this application to...
Know who I am and access my information
Put a box in my profile
Place a link in my left-hand navigation
Publish stories in my News Feed and Mini-Feed
Place a link below the profile picture on any profile
The "What's your stripper application" could have been made by anybody, the CIA, Coca cola or your stalker. You have to agree to those terms before adding the application. That's the dodgy thing about it..

I'm not sure how much of it is true but it is quite frightening how much info they can have about you.
Since facebook changed to allow anyone to browse (as opposed to members) I'd be wary of putting up much personal info out there.
As for Orkut, I gather it is more popular in developing countries. I've never heard of it before and with networking sites the software and features are nowhere near as important as the fact that your friends happen to use the same site.

Here's one for all of yers that know their IT from their elbow.
My little girl (she's 22 actually but still my baby) is a Facebook addict but just recently has found that she can no longer post there on her home PC.
Every other function of the site is OK but she can't chat to her mates :(
When she goes into work and logs on via the computer at the nurses station it's all good.
I've tried system restore, clearing the cache and wiping my willy across the screen but no joy.
What say you Oh wise wizards of Windows 2000?
Nurse? *ears prick up*Quote:

Nope nothing like that as far as I'm aware Dan. Every other function on the PC is fine except for this Facebook glich.Quote:

Call me crazy but the thought of someone finding out my name, that I support Exeter City and occassionally get so drunk that I pass out doesn't really bother me. Of course if I was some high flyer whose employer might sack if they knew about this it would be a different matter. But then if I was a high flyer I wouldn't support Exeter City, or drink so much (more money means more drugs)Quote:

Green army! Green army! :p :
I'm not hoping we'll get back into the league. I'm watching as City carefully plan their attack. It begins quietly with lots of draws and then will take off come the Christmas period when we beat Torquay twice in one week :bounce:
As for Argyle, doesn't bother me. You can dress it up as much as you like but a turd will always be a turd which is why half their fans come from Cornwall which we all know is a pointless county :p : :D Proper teams get proper fans from their home town which is why we still pull in 3 thousand despite poor results. Torquay only manage that when everything is going their way.
omg your such a nooob! :biglaugh: :biglaugh: if you want friends posting a big Habs logo certainly won't help your case !!:biglaugh:Quote:

yes the pointing finger of a Montrealer is stronger then most around the world.. they use it to point at their team the habs when Kovalev is napping in the dresssing room while a game is on , they use it at eachother when one of them runs the other's dog over running an intersection at 120 K and they use it to pont the direction of the door to their teenage kids ;) .. The only finger that is stronger is the index finger which is used when.... ;) :p :Quote:

I'd just like to say... Dave mooned me on facebook. I keep having nightmares. :(
Im on facebook too :D .. I shall be joining the group shortly ;)

Has anyone mentioned in the 103 posts how much people tend to ask for it by going on facebook?
Was it not her address on Facebook that led to a whole army of reckless headcases (that is before they got slashed!) smashing up a girls house here in the northeast not that long ago?
Though it is a clear abuse of the site and something that IS rare, it proves that the fact social networking sites aren't physically regulated is a chance for those that ARE intent on creating havoc for whatever reason to do it.
I am not against it. I am just very wary indeed of what could happen one day if someone who does create havoc get's my personal details.
Don't put your details in then ;)Quote:

Exactly. My PIN is 2991 but I don't advertise that on the internet, do I?
Erm, whoops.... :erm:
You guys think it is worth me signing up then if you control what personal details are up?
It honestly depends how much information you want the world to know. Keep in mind that anything posted on the internet is instantly available to anybody else on the web. Anybody.
I use a seperate email addy for Facebook, I don't make my phone number or physical address available to anybody, and I'm careful what I post. I do use a genuine photo, but there's no requirement for you to do so if you're not comfortable.
What a coincidence. That's three away from my grandfather's.Quote:

But email's I could handle. I would just send the buggers to the Junk.
I rekon I could get away with it, without any major trouble.
So have you joined the motorsportsforum group yet, SF?
Facebook, blah more like facebukkake, that has been playing in my head everytime I see the thread title. Now I've said it so I can put it to rest.
I'll get me coat...
I did. Some time ago. It was July of 2004. :)Quote:
