I want a facebook..but since i've been out of school since 2002 and didn't have a campus email address it won't let me

I saw this today and I am EXCITED! YAHHHH!! More networking!!

Cocaine (Insert facebook!) is a hayle of a drug!

I have a facebook account. I dont find Facebook the slightest bit interesting. But I can see its appeal for many. What I dont get is why do college educated women post porno like pictures. I was eating sherbert and scrolling through Facebook when I came upon a chick who's stretch marks had stretch marks.
<insert vomit smilie here>

UGGGH

I’m on facebook and it definitely can be addictive. I was late joining though b/c I no longer had a school e-mail address since I had graduated but I finally figured out how to create an alumni account. Most schools will provide an alumni e-mail address to graduates.

New changes: Your take?
 

Alright; I figured I'd resurrect this thread in light of all of the recent changes. What do you like? What do you dislike?

When I logged on the other morning, I was like, "WHOA!" Talk about T.M.I.! I looked up the update description on Wikipedia shortly after, and they mentioned how they had turned off the Facebook blog comments feature since it got flooded with complaints. :p It's very "busy" now more than ever, that's for sure. The one thing I do like is that you can maximize/minimize the different sections on your "My Profile" page. I've been suggesting from the get-go that they do that (given that *my* profile is a bit lengthy)...glad they finally got around to doing it. :D

So, what are your $0.08 worth?

The new changes are annoying! I am not really wanting to know all that information about the people who are my friends. The facebook is now a confirmed match making website but its still not as bad as myspace.

apparently a lot of other users feel the same way

OMG!! When I logged on yesterday I was so confused. I couldn't even find my own photo album!! I hate it. When I logged on today the first thing I saw was a new group created to protest the newsfeeder. I joined :D It has something like 354,000 members already lmao!!

i don't like it either. i have absolutely no desire to know when my friends get friends or write on people's walls, etc. it's overly-stimulating

Yup; it's "Greekchat" (just do a simple search for it). :) It's also in desperate need of a picture (I *HATE* seeing that tacky-a$$ blue question mark!!! :mad: ).

I'm on there, but am not addicted to it like others. It's kinda' boring...lol

I agree. The changes are ridiculous. Especially the Live Feed feature. My home page just looks crowded and disorganized.I'm not anyone's mother so I'm not preoccupied with knowing what groups my friends join or who've they just accepted as friends. And I don't know too many moms who are preoccupied with that at their age.
It still has a while to go before its a fullblown myspace and I've heard they are going to allow non-collegians to create profiles. Its all too much really.

I'm on both Facebook and myspace. feel free to P.M. me if you want to be added on my friends list.

FYI
 

I just wanted to let memberfriends know that there is a global facebook group called "Future Alpha Kappa Alpha (A.K.A.)". It was created by a highschool student and it looks like no one has said anything to them yet.

ETA: There are a couple "future delta" groups as well.

Don't forget about discretion, especially on facebook

From one sisterfriend to another;)

I'm not sure I understood- is your post directed at me? Because I have nothing to do with the group, I was just letting members know. Sorry if there was confusion.

I didn't want to rush to any judgement but I didn't think you were a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha, sorry if you are and I made that mistake. I know what assuming does. I just know that discretion is always being brought up on the board, and joining a group like "future org" is a bit presumptuous (sp) from what I understand. I just know that no one is a member until they are initiated as a member. You know how facebook is, especially now with the news feed, everyone knows your business and what groups you joined. I wouldn't want someone to set themselves up or blackball themselves by joining the group because they consider themselves to be a future member. I just wanted to help sisterfriends out, we've got to look out for each other.:D

Again, I have nothing to do with the group. I am not in the group. I posted the info to let members know that the group exists, in case they should want to let people who are in the group know that it is inappropriate.

(Happy)...I'm on facebook now :-)

Kickin this topic back up... just for you Obsession08... I joined facebook and I already had a myspace page. Internet junkie right here. >>>>>:)<<<<<<

And for those that didn't already know there is a GC group...
Just search all groups and type Greekchat in the search box. It should come right up.

More changes to fb
 

How is everyone liking the new changes?!? I came back from Memorial Day and was bombarded with all these new applications! :eek: Anyone using them? Which ones do you like best? Which ones do you dislike?

I'm using the slideshows application and was thinking about adding the iLike application... slideshows is okay... same concept as myspace slideshow.

It's not too bad.

Sorors, I joined the Greekchat group. Message me if you want to request me as a friend. Its so sad but I'm addicted to it!:)

I use the iLike and Hororscope application. As if I already needed to be on facebook more. I've been cussin out the iLike Song Challenge because it's SO not fair! They ask a zillion rock songs and one or two R&B songs. Not very well mixed at all. And though I am at the Music Expert level with a score of 2,655 as of right now, I am still playing until I beat it!

I know... I just finished playing... I had maybe 3 R&B/Hip-Hop songs and even those were pretty mainstream!!! I need them to do better or better yet theyshould have catogories so you can cater the questions to your listening taste!!!

Thanks, soror. ;)

I'm a member of the GC group on FB (hit me up, newbies!). And, I like the new applications as well (hence, my current status update :p); I like the variety. I'm still in the process of adding some. I think they're a good way to get a better idea of what makes a user "tick" in a "thinking-outside-the-box" kinda way (i.e. EF Globalprint, Causes, The Compass, etc.). I'm really feeling the Files and Docs applications. I've been wanting to download things *other than* photos for the longest.

I'm on FB, also. My fave group is the "Funny Greek stuff from around the world..."

I have to join the GC group now!

You know, that group is out of control!!:D

I have also joined the greekchat group!

I joined too... it's great to put names to faces.

Thanks for the add Soror! :D

I'm looking at these pictures and some of them are hilarious!!:D

Yeah they are out of order!!!

I too joined. I have been able to reconnect with alot of my friends.

still a little sheepish about venturing out on the new iApplications...im just kind of perusing my friend's pages and seeing what they've done to mix things up a bit...

I added the iLike application for music but it only shows 5. Once I started adding them, I couldn't stop!

I think the Facebook Cupid shot me in the ass because I'm now hooked.:D

^^^Greetings Sistar.:)

ach I am on fb alot too as of late...but is anyone else annoyed by the newest changes...it's looking more like myspace everyday, thank god the background stayed the same, or else I'd steer away from the site! :eek:
