Seems like the folks at FB have taken you up on that suggestion.

From Wikipedia: "On July 7, 2006, Facebook allowed users to create and join "global groups" with people in any network. This allowed students to be in (non corporate sponsored groups) transversing different schools for the first time."

From the FB login home page (when you sign in): "Make Groups with Anyone on Facebook: Now you can make and join global groups with people in any network."

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!!! ).

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.

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.

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. 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.

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.
