I hesitated to join for a while because back when it started it seemed like a 'we're better than you club' (i.e. first you had to be a harvard student, then you had to be ivy league, etc etc), by the time they condascended to say 'oh well I guess we are just a social networking site and everyone can join after all' I kind of felt like 'well fuck you who even wants to.'
My thoughts exactly. I finally gave in, and now I use it A LOT and that's just because everyone else does. The past few days employees who used to report to me have been cropping up and adding me. It's weird. So weird.
A friend of mine got a friend request from the mother of someone who was a year behind him in highschool that he wasn't even friends with, ten years ago
I mean you know whoever has the most friends wins the internet
Cris suggested you to me, although you probably would have popped up in my suggestion thingy box sooner than later, because I think it just goes through your friends' friends but pulls newish people at a somewhat higher rate than people who have been on forever so you might be showing up a lot in other people's boxes just because of that. You are being promoted yey(?). Also your sister might have her original last name in the hidden alternate name box thingy, which is a searchable field, and it just has a wacky talent for coincidence I'm pretty sure.
I think Facebook is pretty much only as creepy as all the rest of the internet, just I guess smaller than the whole www and with marginally fewer sexual predators than MySpace. Some people take it way seriously and well ok fine for them I guess; I forget to even go there for 3 weeks at a time and then just ignore most of the shit anyway. *shrug*
Well the thing is it DIDN'T suggest my other sister (who does have the same last name as me) or my mom (who also has the same last name as me) but did suggest Cris (where is the connection there?) and also two randoms I have never heard of in my life
Yep, you popped up in my PYMK yesterday and I was so happy to see you I friended you straight away. I'm pretty sure I suggested Adam to you, also. I get a lot of people I don't know in my PYMK feed, as well as a lot of people I do but don't want to friend. Once though it popped up an old co-worker from a job I don't list in my history with whom I have no mutual friends. Annoying and weird.
