Now I’m All Freaked Out About Facebook

Great, I just listened to that radio show and now I’m mad at Facebook! Let’s all reconvene on Friendster– it’ll be fun, like an abandoned beach nobody knows about with leftover cans of Bud.

If you want to hide your friends list from cyber-stalkers, just click the little pencil by your friends list and un-check “Show Friend List to Everyone.”

Breaking… Facebook On Radio…

The Brian Lehrer Show on WNYC is talking about Facebook … Facebook is becoming less private … they know everything … they’re gong to bundle us and sell us to advertisers … ARRGGGHHH why did I wait until Facebook sucked to join???

Will somebody please tell me what the next internet innovation will be, so I can get on it ahead of everyone else???

My First Facebook Controversy!

Ladies and gentlemen, we knew it would only be a matter of time before a take-no-prisoners iconoclast like me stirred up trouble on Facebook.

Look at this comment from a long-lost high school classmate:

you need some pictures on fb! what good is one shot looking up your nose?

Ouch! That’s supposed to be my “semi-professional” photo! I will have to ponder adding more photos to my Facebook. Maybe I will, maybe I won’t. Who knows? It’s all part of the emotional rollercoaster that is Facebook!

(One thing I don’t understand is, if you’re my Facebook friend, do you see EVERYTHING that people write to me, or only the things that are written to me by people you’re ALSO friends with on Facebook? Basically, what I want to know is, can you all read my email?)

New Friends

Looks like I got some new friends last night while I was busy sitting on the sofa reading Raymond Carver’s biography (executive summary: homeboy drank).

I will accept all these friendships and then set out looking for more friends!

I LOVE FACEBOOK

I Made Lots Of Friends On Facebook Today.

Whew! My “accept-a-new-friend-button-pressing finger” is all worn out. My first full day on Facebook was great. Maybe tomorrow I’ll post some stuff on my wall. (I joined Facebook in part to promote all my new projects, once I come up with some new projects.)

If you’re a blog reader who isn’t on Facebook, don’t worry … this blog is still my #1 favorite spot on the internet. It’s the greatest thing going. But also I love Facebook. And twitter. And true/slant. And worldsgreatestcomedian.com. And urlshorteningservicefortwitter.com. I love all my babies.

Okay, that’s enough for today. Happy New Year to all, and to all a good night!

I Like Making Friends.

I made friends on Facebook today! It’s awesome. I even updated my status to say, “I like making friends.” (I think it’s my status … it might just be a message on my wall … still learning all this stuff … be patient, my friends …)

Friend Requests Accepted

Just accepted my next round of social-venture-capital funding (ie Facebook friend requests) … accepting friends left and right … current projections show 100 Facebook friends by end of week … incredible growth … explosive … let’s do this … Facebook 2010, the future is now …

I Joined Facebook!!!

My first official internet-related act of the new decade was to JOIN FACEBOOK! I am freakin’ SO PUMPED ABOUT THIS!

I was always one of those people who was like, “Naw, I’ll never join Facebook … it’ll probably go bankrupt in 6 months and then it’ll be abandoned …” but now I realize: Facebooks aren’t going anywhere. Everyone loves their Facebooks.

So now I am the proud owner/administrator of a Facebook page called “David Rees” (named after me). I am accepting ALL FRIEND REQUESTS FOR THIS WEEK ONLY. 10% DISCOUNT IF YOU USE CODE “MNFTIU.”

You can see it all here– on FACEBOOK!

(I’m still not totally sure how it works … it might be that you can’t see anything because you’re not listed in the computer as my friend. But if you want to be my computer-friend, send a request and I’ll honor it within 30 minutes or your next request is free.)
