The FACEBOOK Thread

[Road Warrior]

Has anyone checked out that application feature? I just spend an hour playing around with the movie one.

[Ben Urich]

The applications are stupid. Have you read the license agreements? The Extended Info one gives the developers everything on your profile: name, school, your favorites, even your profile picture.

hahaha! Facebook is slowly becoming myspace. :D

[The Apatow Crew]

What the hell is facebok?

[Logan's Runt]

What the hell is facebok?

Facebook is a networky site (kind of like myspace without all the background/music/retarded customization) which was originally for college students only but has recently opened up to everyone.

[odiin]

okay so what's this application thing then?

[Ben Urich]

Little plugins for your Facebook.

[Catman]

recently opened up to everyone.

They had to compete with MySpace.

[JP]

I'm not fond of any of the applications.

[Catman]

Little plugins for your Facebook.

Why is that a bad thing, Ben? Couldn't these companies just get all those info from your myspace? :huh: Unless they are also stealing your password and s--t like that.

[Logan's Runt]

I'm not fond of any of the applications.

I'm not really either. I have the movie one, but I don't do anything with it. Mostly I use facebook for updated email addresses for friends.

And I like it when people write on my wall. :o

Also, its a good place to host pictures.

[JP]

It's really good for uploading pics. That's what i use it for.. :up:

Although I do enjoy a good wall post. :o

I still haven't gotten a Facebook. :(

I got one a few months ago after all my friends wouldn't stop bugging me.

[Logan's Runt]

You must Facebook! :cmad:

[Catman]

I got one a few months ago after all my friends wouldn't stop bugging me.

Thats how I ended up on MySpace. However, I don't see it happening with Facebook. I already graduated from college and so did most of my friends. Facebook is still considered a college site. So, its not something popular with my group of friends. Although I know a few who have it, my sister included.

[JP]

I just finished my first year.

[Knives122]

Facebook is stupid, just like Myspace.

I won't be wasting my time on something like that.

Inappropriate picture?

Inappropriate picture?

Probably porn.

[hammerhedd11]

I have a Facebook but I use my Myspace more.

The apps are gaudy and unnecessary. I used to like Facebook simply because of the simplicity, but it's not going to be long before it becomes Myspace Jr. :csad:

I do like being able to rearrange the little modules, though. :up:

I like facebook because it lets me keep in touch with friends from college over the summer and high school friends during the school year. The applications don't do much for me other than the graffiti wall app. I love being able to draw on someone's wall rather than write on it.

There is now a facebook group open for all hypesters!

I'm a big fan of the uPlayMe application, which uploads the last 10 songs you heard to your profile to share with everyone else. :up:

Obviously you haven't read the privacy statement, where they openly say that they sell your info to third party statistics companies and the like. Why do you think they ask you so many questions? You know those polls and statistics that come out of nowhere? Don't be suprised if you are represented in one.

Facebook photos land Eden Prairie kids in trouble

More than 100 were suspended from activities or reprimanded after being shown drinking at parties.
By MARY LYNN SMITH and COURTNEY BLANCHARD, Star Tribune
Last update: January 9, 2008 - 5:46 PM
var clickURL = "http://www.startribune.com/local/west/13549646.html?pt=y";
var partnerID=252396; var _hb=1; window.onerror=function(){clickURL=document.locati on.href;return true;} if(!self.clickURL) clickURL=parent.location.href;


Eden Prairie High School administrators have reprimanded more than 100 students and suspended some from sports and other extracurricular activities after obtaining Facebook photos of students partying, several students said Tuesday.
School administrators and the district's spokeswoman didn't return phone calls, but students called in by their deans over the past two days said they were being reprimanded for the Facebook party photos, which administrators had printed out. It's likely, they said, that other students among the 3,300 who attend Eden Prairie will be questioned throughout the week.
Danny O'Leary, a senior who plays lacrosse, said his dean displayed four Facebook photos of O'Leary holding drinks and told him he was in "a bit of trouble." One photo shows him holding a can of Coors beer, another a shot of rum, he said. In yet another, O'Leary is pictured holding his friend's 40-ounce container of beer.
"I wasn't drinking that night," O'Leary said. But that apparently doesn't matter. "I was told each picture was equal to a two-game suspension,'' he said.
O'Leary said he intends to meet with the director of student activities today to discuss the suspensions. He said he will point out that two of the photos were taken two years ago, before he joined the lacrosse team and signed a pledge not to drink.
"I'm personally pretty upset and wondering why someone would collect these photos and turn them in," O'Leary said. "A lot of kids' lives are going to be ruined as far as scholarships and sports are concerned."
O'Leary said the school's actions are likely to put a dent in underage drinking among students but not stop it. Kids will just be smarter about not posting party and drinking photos, he said.
"It's dumb to have these pictures up on the Internet," he said, pointing out he has since deleted his Facebook page.
Natalie Friedman, a senior who is not part of any sports programs, said she was called in by her dean and scolded about Facebook photos of her behind a bar at a friend's house with drinks visible. She declined to say whether she was drinking, saying that no one can prove there was alcohol in the beverages.
"I didn't get into any trouble,'' she said. "But I'm only in intramural sports and some clubs." She said a friend who is captain of a girls' team was stripped of her leadership role because she was shown in party photos.
Friedman said some of the photos obtained by school officials show students holding drinks at weddings and family vacations.
After her meeting with her dean, Friedman said, "I see his perspective. They can't look at these pictures and not do anything about it.
"But it's not going to stop kids from drinking," she said. "We're just going to re-evaluate what we put out in public. We're going to be more cautious."
Eden Prairie senior Rachael Kalaidis said she wouldn't be surprised if she's called to the dean's office this week because she is probably pictured in some Facebook party photos posted on her friends' pages. At least 20 of her friends already have had to report to their deans regarding such photos.
"I don't really put bad stuff on my page,'' she said. "I'm not dumb."
Students throughout the school are talking about getting stung by the Facebook photos, but the administration has not made any public announcements about it or sent out any information, Kalaidis said.
"Everyone thinks it's pretty weird,'' she said. "I think it's a huge invasion of privacy."*
The Minnesota State High School League requires student athletes to sign a pledge that they will not drink alcoholic beverages.
Principal Conn McCartan declined to talk to a reporter who went to his home late Tuesday. Varsity boys' hockey coach Lee Smith said late Tuesday that no players on his team are involved, but declined to comment further. Eden Prairie girls' hockey coach Tim Morris, reached at home, declined to comment Tuesday.

* How so? you put pictures online for everyone to see and so there isn't any right to Privacy.

[Banshee]

****, our entire NCAA swim team just got caught with pictures up on facebook my sophomore year. Coach whooped our ass. Its college, we're going to drink... if the drinking age was half intelligent there wouldn't be any problems. I'm 21 now, and I still think it should be 18.

[terry78]

Yeah, it's a privacy thing, but Facebook is public. And they did sign that ****, so if I saw it, I couldn't in good conscience keep them on my team.

[HR-PUFF&STUFF]

the other day a bunch of students "protested" by walking out. for all the good it did them it didn't change the schools decision and they are going to be sent to detention for walking out.

[terry78]

Regardless of your thoughts on it, you sign a document saying you won't drink while playing this sport, you make a pledge to do so. No honor among teens, man.

[The Senator]

Stupid kids.

Why do they have to post pictures of themselves getting trashed on Facebook anyway? Does that make them all badasses?

Serves them right.

[AndThePickles]

I made a facebook a few months back but it bored me to tears. Maybe I'll pop back in there.

It would bore me too if I weren't in college. I wish they had kept it for college students only...now it's just like myspace.

[Anguissette1979]

I agree. Go school for busting them on this. I think it would be irresponsible for the school to NOT do anything about. And the the kids who ate *****ing about their "lives being ruined" not only will stuff like that affect colleges but KEEPING it out their could impact future employment as well. It seems a steep price to pay to look like a "badass" or "drunk hottie", no? :confused:

[Sun_Down]

Stupid kids. Stupid system.

[Anguissette1979]

That's not the shocking/stupid thing (though it IS stupid)... it's the fact that they posted pictures of themselves doing stupid illegal things and are crying that they got caught. :rolleyes:

[Obi-Ron]

And that's stupid. People who have been sober for two decades shouldn't be considered alcoholics.

Except for the fact that they are. :whatever:

[The Senator]

Except for the fact that they are. :whatever:

I don't understand how they are.

People get cancer; if their cancer goes away, do they still have it?

If smokers quit smoking, are they still smokers?

Alcoholics should be the same way. If they stop drinking for years, decades, the rest of their lives, should they still be considered alcoholics?

The repercussions of something like this are incredibly extreme and degrading. By saying people can be alcoholics forever, that insinuates that they never give up their addiction to alcohol. The label which comes with being an alcoholic is a permanent branding which completely contorts society's impression of a person. If someone hears the phrase "President Bush is an alcoholic," they automatically get an image in their head of an irresponsible person who drinks his weight in booze every night-- despite the fact that he's been sober for roughly two decades.

The disease may be a psychological addiction; but whoever came up with this finding should have been intelligent enough to realize the social stigmas which would long-follow recovering and recovered alcoholics. It's an easy way to label someone.

But if we have to go by what society thinks we should think of people like this, then fine. I withdraw my earlier statement, and replace it with the following:

President Bush is a recovering alcoholic. He was smart enough to get his act together after his disastrous undergraduate experiences, and went on to get an MBA-- which no other sitting President has ever received. Following that, he became a very successful and powerful businessman, before he went on to not only defeat the popular sitting governor in Texas, but later, President of the United States. People can transpire to great things after overcoming addiction and hard times; who's to say these Facebook morons won't do the same thing?

And before you can say that's an endorsement of him... just don't.

[Wilhelm-Scream]

Truth, so beautiful in it's eternal simplicity...

Teenagers = ****ing stupid

[Obi-Ron]

By saying people can be alcoholics forever, that insinuates that they never give up their addiction to alcohol.

He didn't say it, someone looked at our myspaces and told.

He said he could sue me and that he was thinking about it, all I did was say, go ahead, tell him.

[HR-PUFF&STUFF]

No, I was at home, the next day I was called down.

its little things like this that help when making a point. and if this is true then i would tell them to **** off and try to prove it was me and that it wasn't someone else that was using my name or that it was even me at all and some one that just had some pictures of me.

[Untilteld]

ha, so now they're punishing you for things you do at home? That's what your mommy is for. Your school sucks.:o

Don't worry, I later on went back into the Principal's office and debated this with him, he apologized and understood that he has no right to punish me for something I said at home, to another friend that has nothing to do him other than his name being mentioned.

[Obi-Ron]

It's the internet, get used to acrynoms and bad grammar, n00b. :o

Okay, considering you did it from home, your principal shouldn't have done anything about it.

However, you also interjected "F4g" into your reply. So you weren't entirely without fault, insult wise. I say that from a ***'s perspective, though, so I'm biased.

I just realized where these kids are from. And if the dozen people I know from Eden Prairie are any indication, these kids were par for the idiot course.

[amazingfantasy15]

Were they drinking on school grounds?

And the kid on the lacrosse team said the picture was taken 2 years ago, before he joined the lacrosse team and signed a pledge.

When I was in high school if you were on a sports team and caught smoking or drinking on or off school grounds, you'd be suspended from the team. Of course, this was before the days of Facebook and MySpace, so not as many got caught, but if both these were around then, I'm sure there'd be a lot more suspended athletes. Dumb kids, don't post pics like that on the internet!

Identity 'at risk' on Facebook

By Spencer Kelly
Presenter, BBC Click

Personal details of Facebook users could potentially be stolen, the BBC technology programme Click has found.

The popular social networking site allows users to add a variety of applications to their profile.
But a malicious program, masquerading as a harmless application, could potentially harvest personal data.
Facebook says users should exercise caution when adding applications. Any programs which violate their terms will be removed, the network said.

Stealing details
Facebook is the darling of the moment, allowing friends to stay in touch, post photos, and share fun little games and quizzes. And it also lets you keep your details private from the rest of the world. Or at least that is the implication.

[C.F. Kane]

As long as you don't post your social security number, you should be fine.

[Nirvana]

Agreed.

[Leto Atrides]

While we could not get all details, what we did get, included his name, hometown, school, interests and photograph, would certainly help us to steal someone's identity.
...
We wrote an evil data mining application called Miner, which, if we wanted, could masquerade as a game, a test, or a joke of the day. It took us less than three hours.

Is this a threat BBC?

[ActuallyRobin]

I feel fairly safe, i don't really sign up to many apps at all, plus the 'crucial' personal info i put on my profile is kept to a minimum, and I try to keep the privacy settings so only the people who'm I want to see it, see it.

[skorponok]

I knew there was a concrete reason that I denied all of the applications:hehe:

[Morg]

I don't even used my real name on FB :hehe: so I'm not worried

[Captain Planet!]

Are You A Target On Facebook?

No.

[Monster]

Haha.

[Magneto29]

Keep your profile private. Simple as that.
I always feel creeped out though when I get friend requests from people that I know I have never met, nor have any friend connections to. I always wonder how they even found my profile. The same goes for myspace....

[The Geek Vault]

I hate apps!

[The Dude]

I love when you don't go on for a week and then you have 137 app requests.

[Morg]

I love when you don't go on for a week and then you have 137 app requests.

I never do :huh:

[Magneto29]

I don't get many application requests anymore, except for one person sending me the most random stuff all the time. I hate people's profiles that you have to scroll down forever.

[bullets]

it's just not safe anywhere.

[Sugarculted]

Stupid FB, and it's too personal settings. I do not need to know whether or not my friend adjusted his seat whilst being logged in.

[Odin's Lapdog]

it'snot so much facebook i'm worried about, rather all these online recruitment companies for jobs.

these days you pretty much have to put your whole life history down.

name
address
full name
phone number
date of birth

some want drivers licence info, some want national security numbers. One agency asked for birth certificat and passport details as well...

What's to stop a bogus recruitment website advertising for some fantastic job and just stealing people's details left right and centre.

I mean you don't need that much else to apply for a credit card in your name

[The-Dark-Knight]

.....And i realised i dont know that many people i know people on there that have like 300 friends, okay so they may mot be friends in the stricktest sense of the word but its better than the amount i have.....


wait for it,

A full 14, fourteen and now i'm scraping the barrel so much i'm looking up people with famous names, Gary Coleman, Michael Keaton, Christian Bale & Shakira.

On a basic level maybe i'm just not that popular, i can live with that but what if only 14 people turn up at my funeral? actually make that 16 adding my 2 children, feck if my future mother in law was on there i'd add her.

Anyone on here wanna be my friend? oh go on, you know it was worth a try.:csad:

[Sugarculted]

I don't count how many I got on mine, but I do hate how personal Facebook is. The layout also, is pretty awful...but I find myself on there more than I should be :(

[The-Dark-Knight]

Yeah i joined a few days ago, i hate the layout. its a mess. but i too find myself on there more than i should.

[The Geek Vault]

I find it a lot better than myspace though...

[Sugarculted]

Obviously. Because without them, I so would've found old friends! :dry:

[Asteroid-Man]

Only 14? hahahahahahaha I have 516 friends!

[BatSpider]

Only 14? hahahahahahaha I have 516 friends!
I still have more :o

[Asteroid-Man]

I still have more :o
Internet Fibbing eh?

*cracks fingers*

I once threw a bull into the sun from Canada, AT NIGHT TIME.

[The Geek Vault]

I still have more :o
yeah but that doesn't count your like a celebrity. Of course you have a ton of friends! You cheated! jk.

[BatSpider]

Internet Fibbing eh?

*cracks fingers*

I once threw a bull into the sun from Canada, AT NIGHT TIME.
No really, im not kidding
yeah but that doesn't count your like a celebrity. Of course you have a ton of friends! You cheated! jk.
Any way possible man :oldrazz:

[The Geek Vault]

No really, im not kidding

Any way possible man :oldrazz:
hahaha Do you friend anyone? I wouldn't think celebs would do that! Also are you the guy who's related to Hannah Montana?

[Asteroid-Man]

I actually KNOW all of my facebook friends, and have been Friends with them before adding them to facebook.

[BatSpider]

hahaha Do you friend anyone? I wouldn't think celebs would do that! Also are you the guy who's related to Hannah Montana?
Yeah, half
I actually KNOW all of my facebook friends, and have been Friends with them before adding them to facebook.
I still knoe MOST of them :cwink:, not my fault I have fans :word:

[The Geek Vault]

Yeah, half

I still knoe MOST of them :cwink:, not my fault I have fans :word:
haha that's cool I guess! Also he could techniqually say that he met them if they were at a concert right? So I guess it works out. Also, I think you should write a song for superherohype.com like a theme song!

[BatSpider]

haha that's cool I guess! Also he could techniqually say that he met them if they were at a concert right? So I guess it works out.
haha, thanks :yay:

[Anita18]

Yeah, you go do your thing BatSpider. :word:

I'm an introverted hermit, so I have less than 10 friends I actually keep in regular contact with. I have friends on Facebook where it's like, "Gee, I haven't talked to them since graduation.." but it's still fun seeing where they are and such.

Some people like to friend everyone they've ever met, which is why my sister has 800+ Facebook friends. :oldrazz: It's just a different way of doing things. In college apparently Facebook is REALLY helpful in promoting events and parties. Instead of having to make posters and flyers, all you gotta do is make an event in Facebook and invite people through Facebook.

Facebook >>>>> MySpace, BTW. At least you can't mess with the layout colors in Facebook. People on MySpace have no taste. I've seen yellow lettering on a hot pink background. :o

I don't do the weird things like vampires and zombies and stuff. That started getting into wannabe-MySpace territory. And I also make sure I log myself off every time, since it's been starting to connect websites and I don't want people to know what I've bought off Amazon or queued on Blockbuster/Netflix, etc etc. That's just too weird.

[Superman4ever]

Would you stop being so damn gloomy!

Enough with the :( and more :)

[bullets]

I have facebook but i never get on there. I also get bombarded with surveys and other things I dont understand .

Don't feel bad. Usually people with like 300 friends don't actually know all of them lol. They just add random people they had a 3 second convo with and never see again. It feeds the need to look popular.

[Leto Atrides]

In college apparently Facebook is REALLY helpful in promoting events and parties. Instead of having to make posters and flyers, all you gotta do is make an event in Facebook and invite people through Facebook.

Yeah, at least at my college, it's the main way people plan events. And not just parties or concerts or whatever, even mundane stuff like club meetings and study sessions and lectures show up on Facebook.

[Erzengel]

Facebook and Myspace is an excellent place to find girls with low self esteem problems and father issues. :up:

[Immortalfire]

I'm not even going to ask how you know that.

[Erzengel]

We should double. :up:

[SapphirePrima]

I have waaay too many application on my facebook page. I hate that myspace has applications now too.

But I like facebook better than myspace. Facebook is more easier to use. IMO.

[Speedball]

I still have more :o
OH!
You're on there?!
Friend me, mine is in my sig.
I have...251, and I pretty much know them all.
I have about my whole high school class on there.

Now that I have added you on FB, I now know you are going on holiday in 11 days :o Good ol' statuses.
It's a love/hate relationship with me and FB. Sometimes, I don't really want to know whether or not a friend has adjusted his/her seat, or picked their nose.

[Asteroid-Man]

haha, thanks :yay:
Wait you're "famous"? :huh:

[Speedball]

Wait you're "famous"? :huh:

[Immortalfire]

I have memberships at both, but my world doesn't revolve around them.

[Speedball]

sorry guy! just figured it didnt hurt to ask. maybe someone could give me a quick rundown.
Well...when it's something you can look up on Wikipedia, it gets a little annoying.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook

[gap5ewl]

I have both but something interesting I've noticed is most of my friends in California use Myspace while most of my friends on the east coast use Facebook.. interesting


I use myspace more since facebook is just a myspace hybrid now and also since I live in California lol.

[Asteroid-Man]

Wait so BatSpider is famous? :huh: There's famous people on the hype now? The closest thing we had to that was when RickyH claimed to be "Avalanch" in X3... So your sister's that 15 year old disney girl that 10 year olds listen to on the disney channel? Damn homie, you must be rich! By the way, I now love you, not because you're famous but because you have a Persian last name! :word:

[The Geek Vault]

Look up Trace Cyrus.
I wanna be your friend on FB, Batspider...but there are three of you up there.:huh:
I think it's either the become a fan or the LA one... right?

[Speedball]

I think it's either the become a fan or the LA one... right?
There are three in LA though...

[D4rkShaDoWz]

Myspace > Facebook.

More people, less stalkerish.

[Speedball]

Myspace > Facebook.

Myspace is a mess, IMO...
It's more stalkerish on myspace...
You don't get invites from fake ****s on Facebook either.:o

[Rando Aces]

i dont like the thousands of different things on myspace

Haha, Speedball speaks truth :up:

[D4rkShaDoWz]

Facebook makes you put your last name and people know what your doing ALL the time. Whenever you comment, add someone, At least of MySpace, you can set your profile private and last name secretive.

[Speedball]

You can do that on Facebook too... :dry:

[Leto Atrides]

Facebook makes you put your last name and people know what your doing ALL the time. Whenever you comment, add someone, At least of MySpace, you can set your profile private and last name secretive.

That's because it's for people you actually know. That's why it just used to be for colleges, that's what it's made for. If you're meeting new people it's friends of friends who could find out your name anyway.

Going around under assumed name with everything private ruins the point, you might as well just make a personal website then. If you want to be friends with teenage scene kids, webcam girls, and middle age wiccans that you only know from the internet that's what MySpace is for.

It is obviously better for bands though.

[Carlynn Carnage]

I hate that the apps make you spam your friends and they in turn spam you

[Clobberin' Time]

Facebook is a 'flirt' nightmare. You can't have a girlfriend, Facebook and an harmonious relationship at the same time. Too many ex girlfriends or girls that are prettier than you're current partner sending you 'hugs', 'pokes' or throwing zombies at you. For the sake of peace of mind I had to nuke mine. No loss, don't miss it, I actually feel extremely liberated.

[Omega Wizard]

Its hard to have a gf on myspace now to, they have a buy your friends, Ive had like 7 chicks buy me as theyre pet. lol

[Carlynn Carnage]

hahaha! That's why I'm happy my guy doesnt care about that stuff. He's a total Digg addict

[oakzap425]

Internet Fibbing eh?

*cracks fingers*

I once threw a bull into the sun from Canada, AT NIGHT TIME.

:lmao:

[Superman4ever]

Is Facebook private?

Creepy as hell:

http://albumoftheday.com/facebook/


If this thread exists don't be a silly goose and scream bloody murder, just let the mods do their jobs and merge/close/whatever.

[Superman4ever]

Bump.

[Rando Aces]

you bumped it!??!?!??!?!

[Superman4ever]

I'll bump what I want to bump, *****! Now watch the ****ing cartoony thingy! :cmad:

[bored]

Oookay, then.

[StrainedEyes]

Yawn...

[Manic]

So let's me see if I've got this straight...

There are people who work for Facebook that used to work for other companies that had other employees that used to work for other companies that had other employees that once worked for the CIA and US Department of Defense and other information collecting firms. So when Facebook users post stuff like their favorite movies and whether they've read Catcher in the Rye, there's a chance that a series of people can give that information to their former employers.

That would be worrying if Facebook users regularly posted information like their credit card numbers, social security numbers, and crap more pertinent than their favorite bands.

[Lighthouse]

Yawn...

Seconded.

[terry78]

If you're using the internet period, your ass is being watched.

Seriously. I don't post my address, credit card #, ss# or phone number and I use a email address created just for facebook.

[SapphirePrima]

I wouldn't doubt it.

Like doesn't the government have out fingerprints on record since birth or something? :confused:
