Is anyone on Facebook?

[VietCowboy]

I've had facebook for 6 years now, since I was a freshman in college and there were like only 8 schools.

My username is the same one here

Question though for some of you, why use a moniker on Facebook? How does anyone from the past find you if you use a moniker?

Isn't the whole reason for facebook to allow you to find past friends, contacts etc? Seems to me you should use real name for that.

I know my wife mentioned some odd things concerning Facebook and her Yahoo account. Like Facebook contacting her contacts through her email and not directly from her.

It seems by default your info is theirs for the taking until you change your privacy settings. But I don't really check it all that much so I don't really know. Most of my info is BS anyway, just joking around.

What does <3 FB mean?
(Yes, I'm out of it in some respects.)

I have a Yahoo account, too, and you have to authorize accessing your contacts every time you use the Friend Finder. There is no way that Facebook can get them because they would have to also know your email account password.

<3 is a heart, signifying "I love"

FB is the general abbreviation for Facebook.

Facebook bases "people you may know" on mutual friends, same schools, same company you work for, etc.

Well, I actually just added the username recently. I've got all my old school friends already added.

Lots of my friends have changed their names on FB b/c they are job searching or something and don't want to be searched.

I recently read where people are doing that because employers are searching Facebook looking for red flag reasons not to hire someone.

companies dont have to search you by name. FB owns the rights to everything you share with them so when companies want to find you they get around privacy settings and everything by going directly through facebooks corperate whatever and they can find you by the email you provided them the company you currently work for if you shared that and any number of things. and even if you delete it they can get the cached versions.

yeah, FB is getting really creepy. I had a lot of my info deleted BY facebook because I refused to have it linked to some page or another. I mean really!

I've put a lot of funny/bogus stuff like....

Religion: I worship the Dallas Cowboys

etc.

I use my real name, I just BS on the info part.
No one really needs to know that much about me.

That happened to me too, the odd thing is, they seem to create some kind of link to whatever you had written.

Next to television shows, I put 'You Got To Be Kidding Me' and it created some kind of link to a page that I just glanced at.

Under Activities I put Wasting Time, which now links to some other page.
Frigging weird.

I'm on facebook too, PM me if you all want to either send me a friend request or if I can send you a friend request. My facebook is under my name.

I'm lucky that I have very common first and last name. If you search for me, you get 20 million returns. Jerry Jones is a very common name.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

yes I'm on facebook.

 

[CliffnDallas]

I'm looking up old waitresses from work.

 

[SaltwaterServr]

On there as well. I got an account there right after it went from being pretty much only college students. Maybe 4 or 5 years now?

I use my wife's facebook acct to harass people once in a while..

You sort of strike me as that kind of guy so it doesn't surprise me.
