Just curious if their are any college students here that are on facebook? If you are a student and your not on it I would totally recommend you getting on! It is a great way to get in touch with old friends!

Oh sorry...
If you are interested go to www.Facebook.com. Posted by Avadaru (Member # 3026) on :
I am.

I'm on facebook. It's highly addictive, but lots of fun!

I cant agree with you more! I just got on this week and everytime I sit down at my computer I have more friends. Plus I cant stop searching for old friends! I love it!

I have a Loyola Chicago facebook and a Loyola New Orleans facebook.
But Myspace is way better.

I think facebook is way better, pH. Posted by Evie3217 (Member # 5426) on :
I love facebook. And it is addictive. I love looking at all the different groups.
Posted by pH (Member # 1350) on :
I meet WAY more people through Myspace than through Facebook.
And I get invited to way more parties and events that way.

It's the opposite for me, Pearce. Posted by erosomniac (Member # 6834) on :
Facebook = myspace with fewer features, intellectual snobbery, and a confined age range...
Then again, they've kind of given up on being snobs and opened it up to the "stupid" schools.
That, and Myspace is the new home of every pervert on the internet.

My younger sister convinced me to join...so I am on it now
Posted by pfresh85 (Member # 8085) on :
I'm on Facebook. A sort of funny story about Facebook. I got an invite earlier in the week to join an "I love Prussia" group (I assume since I'm a Historical Studies major). When I joined, I made a post about a semi-serious theory about things related to Prussia. The group creator replied with something, and I replied back with more theories. When I checked back last night, I had gained an officer position and a title. That title is Chief of Historical Speculation & Supposition. I laughed, because it's just such a great (and lengthy) title.

Myspace = confusing site design and music when you don't want to hear it.
Though it's good for up and coming bands, I'll give it that much.
Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :
You know what's great? Being on Facebook when you're over 28 years old. It's like you can hear the tumbleweeds blow by. Posted by Treason (Member # 7587) on :
Hey, all the Myspace Hatrackers should hook up and become friends. It would be nice to get a better sense of your personalities. I'm already friends with AoD and now, Frisco. Here is my Myspace so you all can come say "hi" if you like.
Whoops, just realized I hijacked your thread. I'll start a different one for this, if you want. Let me know.
Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :
Another reason why I don't Myspace: too many random images. It gives a sensory overload.
Posted by BunnV (Member # 6816) on :
I joined Facebook a while before it became popular at my school, so it started out very impractical for me, at least. One of the reasons I began using it was when I was doing recruitment visits representing my college at my old high school. I had to organize the visit by finding all the alumni from my high school that were attending my college, and apparently the admissions office did not have a database of this information (or didn't feel like looking it up for me)-- considering that this recruitment visit is in an effort to help them. To make a long story short, thanks to the growing popularity of facebook I was able to type in my highschool name and then message or email a number of alumni who later agreed to join in (also informed of other non-facebook alumni) making the representation much stronger for the recruitment visit.
Edit: Feel free to "friend" me. Posted by Lalo (Member # 3772) on :

Haha, oops, It's "Jorge Medina," which actually comes up with several results on global search, so just pick the guy from University of Florida. Posted by blacwolve (Member # 2972) on :
And I suspect that if you click on it, you will be sent to your own profile. If you guys all want to add me, you can just search for my name (Amy Teegarden--I'm pretty sure I'm the only one). Send me a message first, because I generally reject friend requests from people I don't recognize.
I use Facebook primarily for keeping in touch with friends from high school. I actually don't use it that often, but it's nice to have.
Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :
You have to either be at the same school or be friended to see a person's profile. That's probably why it doesn't work.
BunnV, thanks! *adding* Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :
Erm, you don't exist. There are three Jorge Medinas, and none are from the University of Florida.
Posted by Avadaru (Member # 3026) on :
If that one doesn't work, I'm Jane Cannon at LSU.
Posted by pH (Member # 1350) on :
Avadaru, you like good music!
...and I don't see My Chemical Romance listed! Yes!

I finally joined Facebook last night, after at least of year of pleas by friends to join. It took about a half hour for my mail box to be swamped with facebook related things.

Ah, sorry about that. I just finished changing my privacy settings, I didn't know I had it set so only other people from my school could see me. Hope you seem me now. Thanks for letting me know. Posted by pfresh85 (Member # 8085) on :
I added my picture to facebook (instead of one of my other random images). So now all of you can see what I look like. Have fun with that.
Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :
I'm Shani Wahrman at DePauw.
And I just added a bunch of you. Those I managed to find. So if you get a random friend invitation, that's who I am.

Posted by BunnV (Member # 6816) on :
Whoo! I see you Raia.
Ah, now I can go hatracker hunting on facebook, heh heh heh.
Edit: Is it just me, or do everyone's introductions sound AA-ish? "Hi. My name is (name), and I'm on Facebook" ::averts eyes::

Cool picture, Andrew. It's "proof" that it is you. Posted by pfresh85 (Member # 8085) on :
Yeah, I'd remove the watermark if I could, but I can't (or I was too lazy to, I forget which). It's still a decent picture though.
Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :
It is! I agree!!! Posted by Miro (Member # 1178) on :
Heh. If you get an invite from someone named 'Lydia', that's me.
If you don't, then I don't know how to find you.
Posted by Altáriël of Dorthonion (Member # 6473) on :
I'm more into Myspace, but I'll try Facebook just to see how it goes.

Is that you backpacking? How was that?
Posted by Miro (Member # 1178) on :
Yep, that's me. The pic is from Yosemite a couple summers ago. I was part of a volunteer crew that spent a month in the backcountry. We cleaned up fire rings and campsites and hunted down some invasive weeds. It was awesome. Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :
pH, I can't find you!

To find me on facebook, search for Pearce Holland at either Loyola New Orleans or Loyola Chicago.
And my Myspace is here. But like I said, send a message when you add me, or I won't add you back.
And my Livejournal name is "yourprecious."

Posted by pfresh85 (Member # 8085) on :
Eruve Nandiriel, I may have you beat. I was on Xanga (back in 2002 or so), switched to Livejournal and was there from 2003 till just recently, then I went back to Xanga. I also have Facebook, MySpace, and a number of other types of things. The internet is my playground.
Posted by Eruve Nandiriel (Member # 5677) on :
I just recently got LJ because I quit blogging on MySpace when my parents started reading it. >.<
Posted by pfresh85 (Member # 8085) on :
Ah. My parents (and a number of my brother's friends) read my LJ. It didn't bother me too much since I don't write anything too bad there. In fact, the only reason I switched back to Xanga was because my brother and one of the other guy's blogs I like to read both switched over to Xanga.
Posted by Eruve Nandiriel (Member # 5677) on :
There wasn't really anything bad on my blogs, but I just don't feel like writing anything there anymore because I feel like they're there to watch me, and keep an eye on me, which I hate.

Breyerchic, I just added you (I'm Jane Cannon at LSU) Posted by Miro (Member # 1178) on :
And I just poked you.
Posted by Miro (Member # 1178) on :
Sexual implications? Methinks you're imagining things.
Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :
I still don't get what poking is.
Posted by Miro (Member # 1178) on :
It's basically a message with no content. All it does is tells person B that they've been poked by person A.
Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :
I poke people IRL so poking on facebook is fun.
Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :
I poke raia on real life, maybe it'd work on facebook too, though without the noise.
Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :

Posted by blacwolve (Member # 2972) on :
I just added everyone I could find, and messaged those who requested it. So if you get an invite from me, I'm well, me and not some crazy person you don't know.
Wait....
Posted by BunnV (Member # 6816) on :
Haha, does anyone know what the purpose of the poke feature is?
Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :
To have fun
Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :
well you can use it on raia and she'll scream, very loud, but usually doesn't poke back, or bite.
Posted by BunnV (Member # 6816) on :
Oh! Ok. I prefer to headbutt people IRL. Facebook should have a "headbutt" feature. ::goes to poke Raia::
Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :
Thanks, guys... Posted by Miro (Member # 1178) on :
This is amusing.
Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :
It's dangerous to poke someone who knows that you're ticklish.
Posted by BunnV (Member # 6816) on :

I just poked you
..
kojabu, you're right, this is fun!
Posted by blacwolve (Member # 2972) on :
Is there some way to make a cross schools hatrack group?
'Cause that would be totally fun.
And it would be an easier way to find other hatrackers.
Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :
I don't think you can do that on Facebook. I really wish you could though.
Posted by ricree101 (Member # 7749) on :
I don't think there is, blacwolve.
Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :
yeah that's the main feature it's missing, cross school groups. I don't really have any friends at my school, so it'd be really nice.
Posted by blacwolve (Member # 2972) on :
I just added you, kojabu.
This is way more fun than it actually should be.

Cool, I just added you. Get ready for some major poke-age!
Posted by Miro (Member # 1178) on :
And the poking wars begin...
Posted by BunnV (Member # 6816) on :
Haha, I just headbutted balcwolve. It's unorthodox, which I think makes it more fun. Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :
