i don't play fb games either but i tried to play words with friends once (before i got really shy and socially anxious about it and stopped). i have a lot of friends who like it. it's basically like scrabble i think

I've been on Facebook for a long time and I still can't figure it out.

ruffryder · 04-12-2012, 09:48 AM

haha. I play Sims once in a blue moon and log into words with friends there.
I just don't have the time though.. it's consuming and so much information and things to do there. Thats what you should discuss. LOL

.. maybe also how it's interactive with everything else on the internet, twitter, youtube, pinterest, etc..

Twitter will not be covered in this class!
It is a staff-only class and my coworkers do not need to know I even exist on Twitter! That is where i go to talk smack about them!

They can be my Facebook friends b/c Facebook Jenny and Twitter Jenny are totally different people almost!

That's cuz they keep changing it! I hate Timeline.....and change in general!

I have a love/hate relationship with facebook. I have found that it truly is the only way my crazy family can agree to communicate with each other. Plus, it is a fun way to keep in touch with folks I normally wouldn't have much of a relationship with. I have gone through periods where I close my account but have found that I am far too curious for my own good and will eventually wander back.

I am dreading this election season. That's when my undies really get in a bunch. I sense a facebook vacation coming up.

OS Butch · 04-12-2012, 07:15 PM

Funny thing about that love hate thing with FB. I hate when they change it for the better, they say. I was never into blogging, but on FB I am there every day saying my good mornings...and it isn't really for anyone but me. I post incessantly just about every silly thing I do, and for some reason I am always getting into something.....just like I was keeping a diary.
One of the great things it does for me is lets my mom know where I am and what I am doing, especially when I travel. She doesn't worry so much because she can check up on me on FB

I am so sporadic on facebook. I'll check it several times a day for a few days, and then nothing for a month or two.

This is going to sound so negative, and I don't mean it to, but one of the rants that keeps me on my soapbox the longest is the whole stupid "I'm mad at you, I'm unfriending you" BS that happens there... with adults, mind you. I could write a paragraph about this - it irks me so much - but I'll just say I really hate the drama breeding ground that facebook can be and the platform that allows grown-ups to behave like adolescents. But then again, the internet as a whole can be a breeding ground for passive-aggressive games, as much as I love the web and all of the wonderful connections it brings.

During the blizzard a couple of winters ago, I got hooked on Farmville, but I realized I had a problem when I began to drive home like a bat out of hell because my pattpan squash were about to wither! I had a rational moment and quit soon after!
