The FACEBOOK Thread - Part 2

Well I won't be doing that.

 

[Savage]

Doing the 60 day one and on day 30 already. So far it's fun. It'll be a nice album to look back on once it's done.

 

[Wolfwood]

I would, but I'm too lazy to have to photoshop a picture everyday.

First, because it believes Google is doing some things in social networking that raise privacy concerns

of course FB cares about privacy morons

 

[Duke]

Facebook tries every means possible to invade people's privacy. They have a lot of nerve trying to smear Google.

 

[Drizzle]

I smeared my Google once. Now it burns when I pee.

 

[Anubis]

Soak it in Cream soda. Always works.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

I smeared my Google once. Now it burns when I pee.

[Ultra Lantern]

I smeared my Google once. Now it burns when I pee.

Were you dating Twitter at the time?

 

[Duke]

Were you dating Twitter at the time?

Parents name child after Facebook 'Like' button
http://www.cnn.com/2011/TECH/social.media/05/16/baby.like.name.mashable/index.html?iref=NS1

(Mashable) -- First there was baby "Facebook" and now this: An Israeli couple has named their kid "Like."

Let the Valley Girl jokes ensue.

The Israeli news source Galgalatz reports that Lior and Vardit Adler are the proud parents of a bouncing baby girl named after the Facebook Like button, which recently celebrated its first birthday.

Apparently, the parents were looking to call their daughter something unique. The moniker is not meant to be a gimmick, and they say that they're not shilling for Facebook. They just like (pun intended) the meaning behind the name.

The Adlers are hardly the first people to saddle their kid with a suspect name.

One man offered to name his son Batman if he could get 500,000 people to become fans of his Facebook Page, and another couple named their child Facebook in honor of the role the social network played in the revolution in Egypt.

Granted, naming your child something unusual is not relegated to the realm of social media -- apparently "Brooklyn" is an extremely popular name -- but the name choice certainly is out there.

What do you think? Would you "Like" the name Like?

First "Apple", now "Like" I wonder if naming a kid "Battery" is next.

 

[THE MR. TERRIFIC]

Whatever happened to names like James and Peter?

 

[Duke]

Thankfully, i'm not Facebook that much.

 

[Manic]

If you need to give your kid a unique name, choose a really old name that nobody uses anymore or a name from another culture. Don't saddle your kid with some bull**** word that'll make them resent you as they grow older.

 

[ComicChick]

i actually know a couple of Brooklyns lol

 

[Manic]

Okay, I'll admit that naming kids after places is the one weird thing I don't have a problem with. Most people who name their kids after places tend to have at least a little self control. I don't mind the occasional Paris, London, Brooklyn, Dakota, or even Bristol (as it's probably the least ridiculous name Palin has given any of her children). It's not like you ever run into parents who name their kids Newfoundland or West Philadelphia.

 

[ComicChick]

i have a cousin named Tuesdee, are days of the week ok?

lol apparently it was a popular name back in the day and since i'm into genealogy, i've found quite a few peculiar names in my tree.

i can also understand some states as names, Georgia, Carolina for instance, but I actually found a Missouri in my tree. haha what?

 

[Orb]

I had a friend named Sadman. Can't believe I never made fun of it.

 

[Rocketman]

This is a real nasty one, too:

http://facecrooks.com/Safety-Center...man-has-a-orgasm-on-a-roller-coaster-LOL.html

Basically, it hacks into your profile, makes you post a fake YouTube link to multiple friends' walls at once, and they think you sent it, and they click on it, thinking it's a funny video of a girl accidentally having an orgasm on a roller coaster. It even makes you post a message to their profile along with it, along the lines of "LMAO, check this out guys!! So funny!"

It then spreads like wildfire, and makes their profiles do the same thing to their friends list.

AVOID THIS LIKE THE PLAGUE.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

I do. I hate when those show up on my facebook page.

Oh, and nice choice of facebook spam.

 

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

And that's why i never click those videos.

 

[Rocketman]

It looks so real, it's insane.

 

[PyroChamber]

Has anyone tried to find people they knew from high school or elementary school (old friends, crushes, etc.) through Facebook?

Lately I've been wanting to just see how some of the people I knew look like now, or how they're living. I found out this girl I had a thing for lives in Mississippi and has two kids and a husband.

 

[PSYLENTGuardian]

I'm still in high school, but I don't really concern myself with crushes or relationship statuses. This guy I knew from elementary school is in Europe for some reason, though.
