December 17, 200717 yr My friends and I were all drinking one night and started prank calling people saying similar sh!t. My best friend made a really flamey gay alias "Byron from Great Clips" and he'd call straight guys on our contact list and flirt with 'em. He'd start out by explaining he was the guy that cut your hair the other day, then he'd ask you out, and depending on how the conversation went, if it went bad he'd say he's about to jump off the bridge and that he hopes his death is on your concience. It was the most hilarious thing I've ever heard. Oh and when we'd call brothels, like the bunny ranch in Las Vegas as "Brock of Jahova's Witnesses --Spreading the faith for a better tomorrow". I don't know what this has to do with facebook. Perhaps, the man is gay? Sounds similar to the story of a man in Brooklyn, who lured a gay man to his neighborhood and he and his two friends beat the man and caused him to be killed while trying to escape. To top it off, to the accomplices’ were unaware that the initial guy was gay. I don't get it - drunk or not - since being drunk is just a crutch (magnifier) for how a person really feels. Even though, I would never approach someone, I'm with jmecklenborg. Meet a person face to face and talk. All that typing on facebook and myspace is ridiculous. Today's "digital youth" have no social skills. Although, I make a living in the digital/media, facebook and myspace are the equivalent of 1970s elementary school Bobby passing Suzy a note that says, "I like you, do you like me? If "yes" check "A", if "no" check "B" or calling someone on the phone to "break up" with them.
December 17, 200717 yr Older people are afraid of technology. Excuse me? First, your misconceptions about Fashion, now Technology. Lord! its funny because its true. the only two people on here who seem to be so anti-facebook, etc are the two old guys on here :wink: I know its natural to think that everything was better when you were growing up, etc. but quit playing into what David said.

No, he's definitely not gay, he finally managed to pull a girlfriend recently (and has been on an ego-trip eversince!!).
January 5, 200817 yr JM 7:51pm Jan 3rd Are you friends with F____? He and his woman broke it up after 3 months of hot and heavy. The Facebook Rules. High five. P_____ 9:49pm Jan 3rd Negative, he and I haven't spoken since we fired him. What did you hear/see about them? JM 10:01pm Jan 3rd That's my point. He was possibly my first ever Facebook friend, despite my never having talked to him for more than 30 seconds. Now imagine this crap expanded one-million-thousand-fold, and that's what today's adolescents are going to be experiencing in 10 years. We joked once in fall 2004, when the second Facebook story ran, that there was going to be a Facebook beat reporter before we knew it. But at my family's big Xmas gathering, I announced to all & sundry that Facebook and MySpace are the biggest thing since TV and air conditioning, respectively, and I'm right. JM 10:02pm Jan 3rd Oh, and I just remembered I forgot to bring a 12-pack in from the car. P______ Today at 8:11am Thank you for reminding me of his existence, and that I could check in on him, so to speak, via his Facebook profile. If you hadn't, and I didn't, I wouldn't have discovered the sublime observations he makes in his favorite quotes: "Honestly, I don't understand people that don't read. I'm fundamentally unable to get that. Reading is one thing that anyone can gain from and use all their lives. And there is literally a book for any occasion." And let's not forget this gem: "I don't understand why some people refuse to watch foreign language movies; there are great pictures being made all over the world." And, finally: "I think the quintessential picture of me would be me under a tree, at the edge of a cliff, by a river, or something like that with my eyes closed. Meditation and reflection is one of my favorite things to do. I am constantly thinking and reflecting." That sh!t's deep, bro -- you can get stuff out of it. JM Today at 8:08pm Yeah well he's got his arm around Sarah M_______ in a wet t-shirt while sporting that trendy chemotherapy look that's so hot in the clubs these days, so he must know something we don't.
January 5, 200817 yr Hey there's not a damn thing wrong with the "chemotherapy" look, it's the first "hairstyle" I've been able to pull off in years.... :)

Sam's is a good place to go for astronaut food but surprise beer is not their forte.
February 3, 200817 yr I found someone's UCID laying on the ground and found them on facebook. See, JMeck, technology can serve a good purpose! Too bad it wasn't some hot chick who lost it but oh well, I did my good deed for the day. Curt sent you a message. Re: UCID "Thank you so much man! I dropped it on the way to the rec today and couldnt find it on the way back, your a life saver. Im gonna be out of town tonight but hopefully I can snag it from you tomorrow if thats cool. Im not too far away im right down by murphys pub. Thanks again."
February 3, 200817 yr I've been lured onto facebook by old work aquaintances, though judging it by my fellow 35-50 demographic, the site might as well be called divorcebook.
February 3, 200817 yr I've been lured onto facebook by old work aquaintances, though judging it by my fellow 35-50 demographic, the site might as well be called divorcebook. Facebook's emphasis on pre-existing affiliations seems to have Myspace the predominant choice among the 30+ demographic.
February 3, 200817 yr The numbers are about the same, or at least the percentages are; about half the folks on myspace and facebook are over 35. Myspace is just too noisy for me, and I don't appreciate the crazy amounts of pornspam in my Friend Request folder. I like the way facebook merges both online and real world social networks. It just seems more grown-up. Not to say all those little user-created gadgets and polls don't get annoying. If my cousin Cathy sends me one more vampire attack or "What _____ Are You" poll, I'm ending our relationship.
February 4, 200817 yr I have been playing the Scrabulous application continuously for about a month now. If anyone is interested in a game... or five, let me know.
February 4, 200817 yr I don't appreciate the crazy amounts of pornspam in my Friend Request folder. I do.
February 4, 200817 yr I havn't paid attention to Facebook or MySpace as im not into social networking. That being said, Myspace seems to be, for Dayton, the place for bands and music acts to put out things, and for bars to post music schedules (or just to have a presence even if they dont have music). and so forth. This includes things like "house shows", where people have little concerts in old houses. This part of MySpace has the banner that says "Myspace Music", so I think this is sort of subset of MySpace.
February 4, 200817 yr You know we can never be friends after what transpired that night at the casino.
February 4, 200817 yr You know we can never be friends after what transpired that night at the casino. i still can't believe you didn't split those tens.
February 4, 200817 yr I can't believe I listened to you when you told me to hit. I cant believe casinos actually let you use first born as collateral.

One thing is definitely true about both is they connect the online world and the "real world". Visible "Friends Lists" basically did that.
February 4, 200817 yr I temporarily deleted my facebook page and facebook said they were sending me an email to get it back but they never did.

March 6, 200817 yr I'm glad I wasted my time reading this thread...although the KOOW/pope exchange was worth a little chuckle.
March 6, 200817 yr Well here's a news story. http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5ji-WIc-YzW3prgQH8GhjGyo2wBRA Facebook founder is world's youngest billionaire 4 hours ago NEW YORK (AFP) — Mark Zuckerberg, the 23-year-old founder of social networking site Facebook, is the youngest ever self-made billionaire, according to an annual list published by Forbes magazine. "He is the youngest billionaire in the world right now and we also believe he is the youngest self-made billionaire in history," said the magazine's Associate Editor Matthew Miller, unveiling this year's super-rich list. The magazine put the former Harvard student's personal wealth at 1.5 billion dollars, based on what it said was a conservative valuation of five billion dollars for Facebook and Zuckerberg's estimated 30 percent stake. It played down speculation that the site could be worth as much as 15 billion dollars, which was based on Microsoft paying 240 million dollars for a 1.6 percent stake in the company last year. "Would it really fetch that much today? Some analysts -- and a few Facebook investors -- doubt it," the magazine said. It said it based its valuation on Facebook's estimated annual sales of 150 million dollars.
April 2, 200817 yr I don't know if anyone has had this situation. But have you ever visited a facebook profile of a friend that died? It's really saddening, but also a phenomenon that I'm sure will become more common as more people join and we continue to age or certain tragedies occur.
April 2, 200817 yr I don't know if anyone has had this situation. But have you ever visited a facebook profile of a friend that died? It's really saddening, but also a phenomenon that I'm sure will become more common as more people join and we continue to age or certain tragedies occur. There's actually a website dedicated to the Myspace profiles of people who've died. I forget the URL.
April 2, 200817 yr Mark Zuckerberg the new Warren Buffet? You know two guys at Cincy were the first to come up with online auctioning? They sold their site for a million dollars. Eventually, the site turned into this corporation called EBAY. Market cap is 40 billion. They were business students and they were too dumb to go public with an IPO. Hell, if they would have at least kept 10 percent of their company, they would currently be worth 4 billion dollars between the two of 'em.
April 22, 200817 yr If one more person writes on my fun wall or throws a sheep I tell ya, I have no idea what I might do :-)
April 22, 200817 yr I shun facebook's silly little apps, ESPECIALLY Fun Wall. Though, I have been known to throw a sheep or two in my time...
April 22, 200817 yr and somehow you not only get a Fun Wall but a Super Fun Wall? What's up with that lol anyway, I find that I am Twittering almost daily, and I belong to Active Rain a social network for Realtors®, and I am here and I am on LinkedIN, and a few other places, with Twitter being my main focus I have to admit. Facebook has been fun for meeting Clevelanders though. Baaaahhh
April 22, 200817 yr David and you didn't even need a 12 step program :=) I go in now about once a week; too many other things to do!
April 23, 200817 yr David and you didn't even need a 12 step program :=) I go in now about once a week; too many other things to do! Well, the real reason is that I temporarily deactivated the account and can't get it back. I tried reactivating it, it didn't work. I emailed facebook and after several emails finally got a response. They said it was already reactivated. I'm like CLEARLY ITS NOT since it still says its deactivated. They sent me an email back and said I would have to reactivate it by checking my other email, and I remembered that when I signed up, I listed two emails - one through my uncle's company but that email doesn't exist anymore. So I'm trying to get ahold of them to see if I can get my account back. I told them my log-in email and password. I'm hoping that will work. Still waiting to here from 'em; their customer service is terrible. God d@mn bureacracy.
April 23, 200817 yr I've been facebook free for months. 3 years for me! U of M was part of the original twelve schools.
July 31, 200816 yr This just in... To the Really Hot Guy I Just Met at the Free Vegan DinnerShare Yesterday at 10:27pm I saw you in the back corner of the room. You came in late with a few friends. You wore a blue dress shirt and khakis. And you were probably the hottest guy i have seen in a long time. Very rarely do I feel like it's worth my time to gawk at a guy and go up to talk to him afterwards. You were the spawn of Brandon Routh, Robert Pattinson, Tom Welling and the last person i dated, if they had a baby together. You also had cute wavy brown hair and with the passion for veggies and animals like Jude Law. You were single and not gay. Out of a 10, i rate you a 9.5. I was almost scared that you could be one of those hot serial killers. You also had an all American accent and had awesome straight white teeth. You also had a boy scout coin in your wallet and was really friendly. You had a firm, good handshake and complimented on how small and "adorable" i was. I wish i could have taken a photo of you without you knowing, but I had a telephoto lens. as your brownie points added up in my mental list, and we struck up a wonderful conversation after i approached you, you said something that definitely was the reason why i smiled sweetly and excused myself to use the restroom. " Everything that is wrong with the world can be traced back to Los Angeles." then it was an " ....oh...." moment ( please refer to Barney Stinson aka Neil Patrick Harris on How I Met Your Mother. The "oh" moment is when someone seems perfect until they say that one thing that breaks the deal) before that you had 20 brownie points, after that you had -120+ you lacked the social etiquette to mention that esp AFTER you knew where i came from. Your philosophy is so deep and ingrained, it would not be worth my time to reverse it. If that is even possible. Your choice to say that sentence was only the icing on a cake for many more problems that you possibly may have. I have only scraped the surface. I know LA is superficial, our traffic sucks, our pollution is beyond belief and the people aren't exactly greatest overall. But to blame everything on LA? how narrow-minded can you be? such a damn shame....you were so hot.
