"Can I say you're my girlfriend on Facebook?"

I really wish actual friends would stop using facebook to shove their businesses/personal interests down my throat. No I don't want to become a fan of your fucking contracting company. No I don't want to be 'invited' to your latest podcast about manga.

haha

i just removed a friend because she was posting too many pictures and comments and the constant notifications were clogging up my home page. i would have preferred not to de-friend her but i don't think there's any other way to do it.

You can tell it to "show less" from particular friends, and it will, as long as your other friends are doing enough stuff.

It's under the preferences link down at the bottom of the news feed section.

Really?? Brilliant.

I've not removed anyone yet, but I have ignored all invitation from one person who kept flooding my screen with invitations to every rubbish app she could get her hands on.

nice one. my mate's sister spends all day adding friends, making comments, posting photos, etc... so abut half the "news" i get is her facebook-addict activity. i don't want to delete her tho, so this "show less" thing sounds good...

omg this is fantastic. Thank you so much.

I just got rid of mine.

I was going to get rid of mine but found removing a heap of cockfarmers I went to school and uni with was a good solution.

But then there would be no one! (but ilxors)

i keep trying to get my bf on facebook (and ilx!) but he's all "no, i don't need another internet thing in my life." apparently there's some sort of "real world" out there he likes better. :-(

this made my day:

If you are getting fed up of all the vampires, booze mail and super wall posts, then help could be on the way.

HEEEEEELP! I HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT HOW TO IGNORE AND DELETE THINGS I HAVE NO INTEREST IN!

I would like to permanently skip the screen that wants me to invite all my friends to whatever I'm doing, though. And I would like for every dumb-ass quiz I take to not be an "application." That shit really is choking the site.

What's jarring here is that she's a big fundy who does missionary tours of Africa selling her crazy right-wing god to people who are trying to mind their own business.

Oh my.

S**** H**** joined the group "Proud to be English and want this great country to feel like ours again."

It's the end of the school year, so I just got a lot of invitations to things like my friends' student art shows and plays and recitals. This annoys me because not only am I not in college, I am not IN THE SAME COUNTRY, and they all know this. But noooo, facebook makes it too easy to just invite everyone.

That is indeed ridiculous. People think they're being nice/inclusive when they invite people who are abroad, but all it does is give them the shits.

I DON'T CARE IF YOU'VE BECOME A FAN OF FUCKING ADAM SANDLER/BUTCHER'S CHOICE SAUSAGES/POL POT

HOW DO I STOP THIS

I am gonna make a secret Curvy Colombian Wife application and not invite you

you probably shouldn't be friends with Adam Sandler/Pol Pot fans in the first place

although sausages seem acceptable enough

HOW DO I STOP THIS

you can't. thanks zuckerberg!

Facebook invites are STUPID. People fucking know very well that I'm on the other side of the country BECAUSE IT SAYS SO ON MY PROFILE PAGE THAT I KNOW YOU WERE LOOKING AT BECAUSE YOU GOT OFFENDED WHEN I LIED AND SAID I WAS GOING TO BE WITH FAMILY BUT REALLY YOU KNEW I WAS AT A RAVE AND AVOIDING YOUR NEEDY ASS, WE'RE NOT A COUPLE or even not even in the same country yet they still invite you. I'd be fine with this if I ever got more than three days notice and they still expect an excuse. Wtf?
Also I've made my page extremely private, I even have a special group for former church people so that I can avoid the usual 'I prayed for you today, thats okay, god loves you' but I can still look at their pages and see that oh yeah, they are still having that affair with the church pastor. Hmm, small world.

why does fbk keep breaking down and refusing to load? it didn't use to.

dude i knew you didnt know a whole lot about computers but i didnt think you were capable of breaking facebook

Facebook is the new programming a VCR.

Anita Bhagat Patel just joined Facebook.
You both live in Chicago. If you know Anita, perhaps you should add Anita as a friend. See more people you may know.

They can't be serious, right?

somehow 'i' ended up spamming peoples walls yesterday with some annoying advert about viagra. i didnt know that could happen on FB...

"They can't be serious, right?"

be a good neighbour.

Chris doesn't really rate Singleton very much at all. In fact, he thinks that Singleton is the worst place in the entire fucking universe. It sucks balls.4:53pm

Man, people sure do like bacon!

Common Interest - Friends

lol

Has anyone else tried searching for people of the same first and last name and adding them? Such a simple concept and, if you have a distinct enough name, a rewarding experience. I just tried it today and it's like meeting your long-lost brother. (Ooh, and I'm not legally responsible for Tom Ripley experiences that come out of this.)

Someone did that to me a few weeks ago - a Texan college student and libertarian. He's not been added yet.

(I currently have 3 other pending friend requests that I'm ignoring, 2 friend suggestion requests, and 136 other requests)

"same first and last name"--like David David or Johnson Johnson or whoever?

xpost: "someone with the same full name as you"

I have 2 friend requests and 388 other requests still pending. Plz to get the message, ppl.

Why not block the apps that do the requesting?

Everyone with the same name as me = American people who still think they're Irish in some way. Fuck them.

That would involve putting some effort into it, which is more than Facebook is worth.

(I have two apps on my profile, last.fm and Flickr. The main reason I go there is to update the Flickr app)
