why don't you just ask him directly?  Geez, you kids.  ;)

Don't ask Jake to be your freind, he's too cool for you. You have to be one of the  cool kids to sit at his lunch table!

haha  i think the only people i have gotten requests from so far is colday and the pope..

I requested

So I was just thinking, what happens some day when online profiles become so popular, that everyone has it.  Kids and their parents, and their grandparents (which would be us).      Weird.

^Word, I was just thinking about that. We're the pioneers of profile-based websites. Its a great way to network and keep in contact with those people you barely know but otherwise would never talk to again.

 

I recently made a myspace out of boredom; wow. I get spam nonstop and when I do get messages from real people I don't know , it's usually a 17 year old teenage mother that can't spell, trying to chat with me. 

Yeah, I can only imagine Facebook of the future.

 

And as for MySpace, I use it, but I get spammated on a daily basis. At least MySpace is adding some "new" features now in an effort to catch up to Facebook's rising dominance. That and MySpace is no longer receiving the high amount of traffic (most of it is surely spam bots).

OK, I joined the UrbanOhio group finally on this thing... I'm not sure what my URL is, though... How do you see that?

I just joined the urbanohio group too

I normally do not go on facebook much, but there is an application known as "my city" that allows you to suggest places/brag about your city in your profile...no ohio city has been entered yet.  Thought some of you might like to at elast take a look at it.

There is a better one called My Neighborhoods.

Not sure where they got their data but it has neighborhoods in Cleveland I never heard of before.

Where are some of these:

Kangesser?

Five Points?

Garden Valley?

i think its mapquest has some of the most obscure and old neighborhoods listed on their maps. You'll find Big Italy listed on there too.

I've noticed that as well.

Because I cannot possibly whore myself out any more than I already do...

I am VERY new to facebook but here I am www.facebook.com/p/Jeff_Schroeder/668341079

 

I just requested Orion; I'm sure it will confuse him just as much as it did seicer.

hahaha  yeah i just got that.. it took me a while to get used to it but i think i have a good grasp on it now... i'll still never betray my myspace(and now music myspace) tho :-P

MySpace sucks more than ______________

 

At least they are _finally_ improving on their "interface." Maybe they can redo their entire search engine.

yess i know.. they are trying to make it a little better i wish they had a photography myspace haha..  and yes a better search would be very nice

Musky, just saw this post.  Garden Valley is the public housing estates down here in Ward 5.  Five Points, I believe, is up in the Glenville area...it has something to do with a five-way intersection or something.

Someone way back hit the nail on the head, Facebook is too tied into "affiliations".  I have one but almost never log on.  I mostly use Myspace:  http://www.myspace.com/e_rocc.

 

The spam isn't bad at all especially if you're more or less selective about friend requests.

i guess ill whore myself out for myspace as well haha

Five Points is East 152nd and St. Clair.  I heard that name on Fox 8 (where there was a fire), and immediately thought of this thread and Mr. Musky.

What facebook will look like in 30 years:

That made my day. Man, I don't want to be on the Internet in 30 years :(

Yeah, it's going to be interesting when the online network generation grows up.  Although the unwritten rule is that when you get married, you are supposed to ditch your myspace page, although maintaining a facebook profile is ok.

LMAO That made my day musky. I love how everyone I am linked to on facebook throws food on the same day or takes the same quiz on the same day. It taught me not to send every freakin person on my list the same thing. I haven't been playing around there too much lately, too busy. I did take the movie quiz and a trivia tv show 'assignment.' lol  I belong to Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIN, MySpace (tho I don't have a page there yet) - I decided it's too much socializing - same people on all the sites, we need to be on one.  Just my opinion. 

^ I didn't know that!

 

Of course, I'm nowhere near getting married. ::continues to pictures of himself flexing in the mirror::

What is with you young folks and taking pictures of yourself in the bathroom mirror.  I picked up my nieces phone and some boy, with a bird chest, sent her a text msg with an attached picture of him "flexing" in the mirror. 

 

I don't understand that.

My cousin, who is about 14, informs me that when girls go out in a group these days, they will text message each other making fun of one of the girls in the group for bad hair, bad shoes, whatever.  This even happens while driving with a group in the car each morning. 

 

And recently I was met with blank stares as I told a group of 17 year-olds how it used to be.  When you called a girl, you were in your own kitchen and she was in hers because...phones had chords.  When you called you often  had to talk to the dad first, or at the very least a mom or some siblings.  Then they were all in ear shot.  Now teenagers stay up in the middle of the night talking, texting, and sending each other naked photos of themselves.         

 

It's a lot easier to socialize now. You can find the names of people in your class on blackboard and add them to your facebook. It leads to a lot of party invites and stuff and you end up being friends with people you otherwise might not have ever seen or talked to again.

 

Its funny some of the stuff girls will say to you over text message that they would never say over the phone. Its more of a superficial way to communicate and people get a chance to think before they say something. Kinda like message boards--some of the attacks and arguments you see on here would never be said face to face.

Actually, a pretty good percentage of the people I know IRL that are on my Myspace are married.  I've never even heard of that rule before.

^^ UGH. I _HATE_ text messaging. With a passion. I suck at it, and my replies are always like this: "Yes, I cannot make it to the event." I can't type or decipher shorthand.

^WTF R U TLKIN BOUT?!

I actually text about as much as much younger people I know....but it's because my hearing ain't the best sometimes.  I'm suprised it hasn't caught on more with older people for this reason.

Older people are afraid of technology.

Excuse me?  First, your misconceptions about Fashion, now Technology.  Lord!

I think I'm going to get rid of my Facebook.  I can't take it anymore. 

Actual situation:

    I was sleeping last night when I received a phone call at 2:30 in the morning.  It was a complete stranger, but I answered anyway.  The guy on the other end told me that he had seen my Facebook, thought I was hot, looked me up in the phone book, and then he proceeded to ask me out on a date. 

 

For some reason people think that this is socially acceptable.  I really don't understand because to me, that is really creepy and terrifying. 

 

Needless to say, we are not going out on a date.

Dammit! There went my date :( :( :(

 

j/k

 

You do know you can modify your privacy settings to not show that, or really much of anything else?

It's a lot easier to socialize now. You can find the names of people in your class on blackboard and add them to your facebook. It leads to a lot of party invites and stuff and you end up being friends with people you otherwise might not have ever seen or talked to again.

 

It's a crutch for people.  Back in my day, if there was some girl you were eyeing in class, you had to just grit your teeth and ask them out after class, otherwise you had to bet on running into them randomly, which wasn't going to happen on a campus of 35,000.  You couldn't pussy-foot around on the web thinking your online profile was somehow going to swoon them.  Also, I never had a problem knowing where the parties were.  Back in the 90's you could, you know, join these things called "clubs" where people get together once or twice a week for some activity and they'd the occasional party.  There was a room in the dorms called "the lounge" where they had the only TV in the building and maybe one or two computers where you could write a paper.  People made friends there and sometimes even invited one anther to parties.  And then of course you could pass out fliers for your own party, which gave you an excuse to talk to new girls in the hall.

 

If anyone's read College & the Art of Partying, the author recalls his brilliant idea, the first day in the dorms, to go around with a mop and attempt to sell it to all the girls in the dorm.  It gave him an excuse to meet every girl in the building.  He did a little dance, tickled the girls with it, etc.  For *years* later he would be at a party and some girl he didn't recognize would come up and squeal "you're the mop guy!".  Why didn't I think of that?!

I've never written a text message, I refuse to respond to them, I don't understand what the hell their purpose is.  And don't believe anything a girl says, text message or otherwise.

People STILL join clubs, talk to others in class, meet people in the lounges, etc. Facebook just fills in the gap. The gap that existed even in the 90s.

sorry about that

 

^not serious, and that is freaky that that happened.  You weren't even friends with them and they looked you up.  weird

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.

Texts are great for when you want to let someone know something that doesn't require a full conversation.  They're also good for conversations that aren't urgent...you can have a five minute (or hour) gap and pick up where you left off.

I doubt that it was one of my friends prank calling me.  I'm an Architecture student, I have no friends.  Hah, but seriously, with the advent of Facebook and MySpace it seems that stalking has simply become a national pastime.  And the fact that no one I've spoken to thinks that it's socially unacceptable to call a stranger at 2:30 in the morning speaks volumes to the degradation that has occurred in our society recently.  I'm only 2o, and already I'm yearning for "the good old days."
