And by varied, I mean "exactly the same but at least no DMB/Coldplay/Jack Johnson!"

In retrospect, I think the funniest thing about Facebook was getting a crush on some girl or another in one of my classes, then tracking said girl down on Facebook and being all excited, only to instantly lose interest at the sight of something like this:

------
Favorite Music:
The Fray, Dave Barnes, Dierks Bentley, Snow Patrol, Michael Buble, Hellogoodbye, Honestly, Five For Fighting, John Mayer, Lifehouse, Matt Wertz, Damien Rice, Stephen Speaks, James Blunt, Keith Urban, Jason Mraz, Tim McGraw, Jack Johnson, Cold play, Switchfoot, Gavin Degraw, Maroon 5
------

And I mean, that's just a generic example. This has probably happened to me dozens of times in my college years. I eventually gave up on girls I dated having good taste in music.

:(

I eventually gave up on girls I dated having good taste in music.

I eventually gave up on being a sanctimonious prig.

you spoke too soon

FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT
DON'T GIVE UP MAN
YR NOT A SNOB YR A PIONEER

the eternal psychological battle in the heads of college student music geeks

damn right!

You know, some Dave Matthews and Jack Johnson songs are kind of good.

(ducks out)

Coldplay and The Beatles are at least good and Green Day and Led Zep are OK.

"The Beatles are at least good"

---you are not Geir!

Nah, Geir's good. Ish.

lol I just held a facebook chat with Paul Draper (mostly about football), this is how all rock icons should be :D

How come the ILX Facebook groups have such unoriginal names? "I Love Music"? "I Love Everything"? Come on, we can do better than that.

people you may know = siblings you don't know of people you sort of know

Also, friends of couples you know.

Also, people you know but don't want to know.

friends of older/younger friends from high school

ex girlfriends who specifically de-friended you

mine usually add me to ignore & then take me off to stalk me and forget to readd me

me and you and people you may know

Favorite Music:depends on my mood...
rock, rap, country, pop.
i listen to rock when im angry.
rap when im cool.
country when im romantic.
and pop when im silly.

mine usually add me to ignore & then take me off to stalk me and forget to readd me

posts very much in character

ILM's current favourite bands don't make the list because typical mainstream singles list acts of 2009 are mainly popular with kids who have yet to join Facebook because they are too young. :)

How come the ILX Facebook groups have such unoriginal names? "I Love Music"? "I Love Everything"? Come on, we can do better than that.

Easier to find them that way.

I still don't get Facebook. I can't find anyone I know. Why is it so inconvenient? How did all these people on Facebook find everyone they know and even people they don't know? I'm eating chewy candy shaped as wedges of fruit.

do you know your friends' names?

lol this is an ilm thread

mostly you just let it search for people in your email contacts list & see who it coughs up no?

facebook is mostly good for scrabble imo.

There's several dozen groups called I Love Music now, so not so easy. Is there any way to identify the real one? What's the graphic used, type and number of members right now?

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2200160366

I clicked on this thread hoping that facebook was the name of a band

The secret is you are in college, and have been on since it was .edu only, and pretty much get what it does.

I mean, is it really relevant to other people? I'm more or less dependent on it nowadays but for those that aren't already really into it, what's the point?

I hate trying to get my friends to join my Rock Legends app as a groupie; but how else am I going to become a rock legend?

there seems to a trend of people linking ilx threads from their facebook status updates. is it just me who is kinda not into that? perfectly prepared for the answer to be "yeah dude it's just you," there are plenty of questions I have about stuff which can accurately be answered "yeah that sounds like more your deal than anybody's problem"

im not into that

That's totally weird.

try to avoid participating in discussions that might be construed as interesting is the best strategy I guess

woah so not into that

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2__Hk1todQ

xp mind you idk if i ever even joined an ilx facebook group. i am not sure i am cool with mark zuckerberg knowing i am on ilx, i feel like that is not information i would trust him with.

i don't like the idea, either.

I keep ilx and facebook as entirely separate worlds. Like, there are so many facebook.friends who are like, obligatorily involved in my life. If I posted an ilx facebook status update, or commented on someone's ilxor fb status update, I'd be opening the ilxor door to people who I'd much.rather just know as IRL people.

hmmm yeah i don't like it...didn't know that was happening.

obvs cant assume that everybody's fb friend demographics or privacy settings are same as mine, but cant assume they're not either.

i also would prefer these worlds not collide

I'd add ilxors as friends, especially ones I've met, but that isn't exactly a running concern so far. I'd feel weird linking to here unless it's some sort of commentary thread that could stand on its own, without really acknowledging that this is a site I post on and do not just browse.

this is long overdue but i just finally changed my login ID

not at all saying that
a) i'm anything but a semi-lurker
b) anything i post is of interest to anybody

but i wouldn't feel that good if people were (without my knowledge) discussing on facebook something i said on ilx

i guess others would agree?

how do i promote a party on facebook? do i already have to have a personal facebook page? i've setup an artist page but can't see any way of actually inviting people or adding friends

this thing is bullshit. myspace was so much better for this type of thing

Create an event, invite people to event, profit.

put the details and a link to the event in a status update of your page so it appears on all the fans feed.

make the event public so all the invited people who are attending have it show up on their news feed for their friends to see.

also allow others to invite friends.

much better promotion than you could ever ask for on myspace.

i don't have a personal facebook page so i can't do any of that. i'll just send some text messages or something

or get a page?

join the other 500 million

seems a bit late in the day for getting a facebook page tbh

i've setup an artist page

i didn't know you could do that without a personal page.

i don't see why you can't put in status updates on your artist page for fans to see, if you have an artist page.

DMB is Dave Matthews Band? Are they really that popular amongst American students?

not any more. remember, that was 5 years ago.

i suspect that if the Pulse thing were still going, stuff would be a lot more interesting now? tho with some obvious things like LADY GAGA etc.

I think the life-death cycle for Facebook is finally kicking in (a la Friendster and MySpace)... Already know a half-dozen or so people who've cancelled their FB account. No reason other than they're just bored with it.

people were canceling their FB accounts two/three years ago two. I don't think FB is going the way of Myspace or Friendster any time soon - Friendster was run ridiculously as a business, Myspace didn't really ever get the grown-up-world presence that FB has. The real FB killer is Twitter, and the two have integrated pretty comfortably

imo

While I kinda understand the above view, I also find some of it a tad amusing, at least in the context of the threads I post on and look at here, and my FB friends. Somehow, I do not think that me putting an ilx Chitlin Circuit Soul posting (that is currently read by 3 people maybe) or a Latin or Global Music one on my FB page is gonna cause me embarrassment or bring 'uncool' FB people here. Actually those ILX threads could use a few more people posting. Maybe the rap goons like having only 5 or 6 people posting on that rolling thread?

3/4 of my friends list consists of ILXors anyway....

I closed my Facebook. I don't often regret it, but then who knows what I could be missing?

from Deicide page...very disturbing seeing the second comment under the first one

http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/5644/wtff.jpg

so today facebook's "recommended pages" widget recommended:

"The Fall Kimble"
"Ghostface Gorilla Hood"

no info on those pages and I am the first person to "like" them, because I am a sucker.

wtf how did they know?

http://blog.facebook.com/blog.php?post=434691727130

we need a nu-style ILX group

Good that they finally did that. Seemed like the logical move.

I'm guessing my groups will basically break down into:

Family
Family + friends I actually like
Everyone else

The Social Network II

...: You Are the Unpaid Extra

i don't get the cancer thing. the cancer posts. people don't actually write them themselves, right? so confusing.

shit, why is this on ilm? eh whatevssssssssssssss.

just visited facebook campus, walked thru the door of the lobby, conference room to my left labeled RICKROLL

entire place is like one big land of dead memes

cool place tho, but Pixar is still the gold standard of office environments I have visited

I get no real pleasure out of Facebook until I see a thread like this and then praise be to Zuckerberg.

http://i.imgur.com/Zuoxg.jpg

Oh, I posted to the ILM thread rather than the ILE one. Still a joy though.

OMG please let that be real. You need to post that in the ILE Facebook thread for more attention though.

OK so it turns out it was fake. Ho hum.

lol

I don't know exactly why I'm enjoying this so much, but there may be a German word for it.

is facebook acting really weird today

not for me

goddammit

Some weird censorship going on today

like what

weird this is on ilm?

Oh its this weird thing where a guys blog cant be linked to on facebook without a captcha and other stuff

http://scriptonitedaily.wordpress.com/2013/04/25/facebook-censors-users-during-media-blackout-on-privatisation-of-the-nhs/

probably a thing like nortons does when wordpress gets marked as spam for one blog so the whole thing gets marked but still. Ive never been asked to do a captcha for posting a link before and it seems weird.

I cant access my facebook account with new password to new mobile number as link is not working, also link was not in new email account, when they said it was sent.

Please help

your new password is: GRIMREAPAHBRB

haha i didn't notice this was an ilm thread! oops

lol i remember the era of facebook when everyone supposedly liked jack johnson and coldplay

Worst Thread Title Ever Nominee for 2014

facebook used to be even weirder. the top tens. telling you when people stopped being friends or when someone stopped being a fan of something.

Lads

Facebook's algorithms remind me of a well-meaning but obnoxious co-worker who keeps butting into conversations.

"Hey, guys, you hear about what the Red Hot Chili Peppers did now?"
"Facebook, why do you think any of us care about what the Red Hot Chili Peppers did now?"
"Lots of people are talking about them."
"Are we talking about them? Do we ever talk about them?"
"I mean. You guys like music, right?"
"That wasn't the question."
"OK, I'll come clean. You seem to be talking about lighting Nazis on fire an awful lot lately, and I thought you could use something to take your mind off things."
"So you're suggesting we light Chad Smith on fire? I mean. It's not the stupidest thing you've ever suggested."
"Oh, no, I didn't mean..." (face turns beet red, runs away)

Best friend just deactivated for the foreseeable future. I have no one to go onto Facebook and whine about Facebook with now.

"Today is about celebrating friends and the ways they make life great. We thought you might enjoy sending some awards to show your friends what they mean to you."

fuck you zuck, i celebrate my friends by mocking them on the pvmic thread as is right and proper

fake friends awards

I didn’t know this was happening but if I don’t get any awards I am going to be fucking livid.

"You can now configure Pixel events that are being automatically tracked"

I found a credit card in the street the other day and within 48 hours had located the owner (two towns over) on Facebook, ascertained that she wanted it destroyed, sent her a picture of me cutting it up and received a message of profuse thanks. It was like a window into a bizarre universe where the site had some kind of useful purpose.

good not bad

I noticed that this thread is on ILM and briefly thought there was a new band called Facebook and I then unfortunately died believing that.

haha sorry, i just revived on the oldest extant thread called facebook

I assumed Facebook was pivoting to music

Facebook is pushing that "share a memory" junk where they make custom videos out of your old photos to boost engagement and I just literally got shown a bunch of happy cartoon characters dancing on my mom's grave. 🤦‍♂️ pic.twitter.com/6NKIXqqq9I

Not to victim-blame; but images of loved ones’ graves are perhaps better suited for Tumblr.

Absolutely no idea how this will play out
