tonight i was searching through facebook, and found a person that i havent been in contact since elementry school because i moved, and now were facebook buddies, and it turns out that she goes to a school that i applied to (small world) anyways, what im trying to say is that if your on facebook make sure to look for people from your past that you might want to talk to again, some of the time youd be amazed by who you find. facebook truly is an awesome awesome invention.

disclaimer:
i am in no way working or related to (to my knowledge) to someone that works for facebook, i just think its really awesome.

anyways: if you have your own facebook stories that youd like to share, please do so

it's definitely more helpful for college hookups than beer even.

Gossamer · Jul 19, 2006, 10:50 AM

I just made a new profile this morning.
Facebook me!

SSharon · Jul 19, 2006, 11:11 AM

I always found facebook helpful to get contact info for people in my classes. It was very useful when I needed some help the day before something was due. This also let me ask a few people instead relying on just one or two that I had gotten numbers from in class.

hickey · Jul 19, 2006, 11:19 AM

Facebook me as well, if you really have nothing better to do.

Lightning McQueen is your friend

I've also got Kuzco from "The Emperor's New Groove" and ISU's Spiderman. I found a Kirsten Dunst to be married to for a while but she dumped me

nonhuman · Jul 19, 2006, 12:03 PM

Wow, almost the same thing happened to me. Randomly got friended by one of my best friends ...from 4th grade. Hadn't seen this guy in about 14 years.

My disclaimer:
I'm not working for or related to anyone who works for facebook. I have however met Mark Zuckerberg and am friends with his ex. He's an ass.

brassplayersrock² · Jul 19, 2006, 12:21 PM

added you goss and hickey

Kerrigan · Jul 19, 2006, 12:59 PM

I use it all the time, it's as big a time waster as NN.

MacMan4000 · Jul 19, 2006, 07:49 PM

Yes, facebook is indeed awesome... but Im not about to share my personal info with you child molesting, kid-napping, suxual asaulting, good for nothin, forum nerds!

My profile is private for a reason: paranoia

d4nth3m4n · Jul 19, 2006, 08:23 PM

let's see- it's gotten me laid... once.

verdict- not worth it.

Doofy · Jul 19, 2006, 08:27 PM

There was a discussion about Facebook not so long back on some other site (BBC, I think).
Conclusion: Facebook takes all the fun out of meeting people, since you know their shoe size before you've laid eyes on them.

facebook sucks!

Kerrigan · Jul 19, 2006, 09:40 PM

It's a bit depressing, watching people move from this:

Name: John Smith
Network: UNC Chapel Hill

to this:

Name: John Smith
Network: Telenet Sales Company

I don't think I'll transfer my school account over to a corporate account when I graduate, too lame.

d4nth3m4n · 02:06 PM

i've found some pics on facebook that i've regretted finding.

JoshuaZ · Jul 19, 2006, 09:58 PM

Overall I think it sucks. I went to a college with under 2,500 students and facebook became the `best way to meet people on campus.` Or so said our college newspaper. Good lord people. There are only 2500 students! Its super frickin easy to meet people.

Anyway. Super lame time waster.

Are you serious? I remember your post from halloween of you two, you looked great together. Again, are you serious? Juicy details please!

euchomai · Jul 19, 2006, 10:55 PM

This is the picture I remember (you'll see why I remember in a second)

d4nth3m4n · Jul 20, 2006, 12:13 AM

yup, dead serious. oh well, i don't want to take over this thread. the take home message is-

facebook is not that cool.

e: goddamn, you saved that?

JoshuaZ · Jul 20, 2006, 12:16 AM

Wow.... totally not school office safe....

Luckily everyone ignores me.

brassplayersrock² · Jul 20, 2006, 12:47 AM

*shrug* i guess pulling a cody meant that my nice little thread about a good experience i had would turn into what it has. not everyone has the same experiences with everything. oh well, such as life

brassplayersrock² · 01:09 AM

im sorry that happened to you d4n, i truly am. still though, atleast now you know, maybe not in th best way, but you do know. another girl will always come along

euchomai · Jul 20, 2006, 08:38 AM

No, I didn't save that d4n, it is still in the 2004 halloween thread. I'm assuming it is on your server still. Sorry to hear of your loss. I'll agree with you, facebook sucks!

Look at the bright side tho, easier to meet somebody who's looking for an above average, um, shoe size...if you happen to have one.

d4n....hey, i'm the last person to give benefits of the doubt to evillyingcheatingdirtywhores, but it doesnt much look like an extended, grab the back of the other persons head type makin' out and the girl on the left apparently thinks the whole things HI-larious so who knows, maybe she's kissing a gayboy or some such.

At the very least, the girl on the left is probably hittable.

blackstar · Jul 20, 2006, 06:29 PM

i got to admit i dont particularly like facebook!

ambush · Jul 20, 2006, 06:36 PM

that sucks dan..

did you learn she was cheating on you with facebook..

that must have been horrible

TheMosco · Jul 20, 2006, 07:00 PM

The facebook is good when you have nothing else to do and don't feel like being productive. Earlier this year, I was facebooked by this girl that I technically went out with in 7th grade. She moved away and then I didn't talk to her again. Turns out she goes to college in my city and lives about 2 minutes from my apartment. Small world. I love the facebook.

Rumor · Jul 21, 2006, 02:05 PM

But facebook doesn't have this!

Gossamer · Jul 21, 2006, 02:58 PM

There's this:

And he wants to be Kuzco's friend:

Albert Pujols · Jul 21, 2006, 03:40 PM

I made Bill Gates using my CS email.. bastards at facebook deleted that account. My facebook account is pretty useless though, it's just a bunch of my friends and random people writting stuff on my wall.

Gossamer · Jul 21, 2006, 04:04 PM

So far mine have gone untouched...I was smart enough to use hidden mail lists, so as far as they know it's a valid ISU email address.

Albert Pujols · Jul 21, 2006, 04:12 PM

My email was a valid .edu email even though it was my computer science account, they deleted it because it was Bill Gates

Sad...hopefully Emperor Kuzco, Peter Parker, and Lightning McQueen aren't too obvious.

hickey · Jul 21, 2006, 04:23 PM

I saw a guy on facebook once whose name was Snoop Dogg. But they wont let me change my name to Lindsay Lohan, what gives.

brassplayersrock² · Jul 21, 2006, 04:25 PM
