So, a lot of colleges have it now. Mine, of course, doesn't. What is it like?

It's similar to Friendster.com (and those sites related to it), but it's definitely geared more toward current students, recent alumni, and faculty/staff -- especially since you need a campusname.edu address. I got lucky because my campus email still works.

Too bad this wasn't around when I was in school. You have the options to post your schedule, what dorm you're living in, etc. Too bad we didn't have this when I was in school. I sooooo could have been stalkeroo.

HTF did Hawaii get on Facebook before 'Bama?

Anyway, I'm on there. So anyone who wants to Facebook me, just look under Hawaii and type in Sandy. I should pop up.

because no one here uses them newfangled computer contraptions!

lol, no, I guess they just haven't gotten enough requests for one at Bama yet.

It's a lot of fun. I ditto what Sandy said about it, it's more fun for current undergrads.

It's the best-known method of procrastination out there.

It's funny how all these freshman and sophomore year boys are adding me to their friends list.

One day all the AGD-Delta Sigma NMs and collegians found me online, and then next thing you know I have a whole crapload of new friends. Heh, I still gots game. Mwahahaha.

Why couldn't the boys of 7 years ago look like the boys now? DAMN.

Your university might offer the "permanent forwarding email address" - like mine does. So I have an email address ending with @alumni.ufl.edu. And I just registered on thefacebook, so it works.

Check on your alumni homepage to see if it's offered.

facebook is fun, but it came out the year after I graduated. can't do much stalking that way.
OTW: gotta love the youngsters.

LOL, I did meet a grad student on Facebook who was actually in some of my undergrad classes.

I still shake my head at the younguns!

This site is so addicting...I just sit there and browse with nothing better to do!

kk_bama · #15 11-16-2004, 04:43 PM

I just sent in all the info The Facebook asks for if your school is wanting one. Let's hope it helps!
