Like others here, though, I don't accept every app invite I get. I'm trying to keep my profile at the level at which someone can comfortably look at it in dial-up mode. My own perverse definition of courtesy, perhaps, at play.Dwight Williamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14389833479219422837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20125944.post-73614062729543258342007-12-23T16:02:00.000Z2007-12-23T16:02:00.000ZThank you very much, Caz, and I hope your Dad liked it too!Paul Cornellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07366796946594435087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20125944.post-36485454114009617712007-12-22T21:17:00.000Z2007-12-22T21:17:00.000ZHi...I loved your story in the newspaper!!

In fact, I like it because I use it opposite than the way you use it. It's easier to approach people, by playing games or throwing sheep at people or joining together on a trivia team and I've gotten to know people better (both friends new and old) than if I just added them to MySpace and sent e-mails. The interaction is the key. And I have something to break the ice next time I see people. <BR/><BR/>-Erik E.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20125944.post-28592466073620723622007-12-21T19:25:00.000Z2007-12-21T19:25:00.000ZThe info that really needs to be avoided is the type that credit card companies still seem keen on as identification passes ...

Thanks for the info, Alex, I shall listen in. There are a couple of writers I admire that I've seen on FB, but because I don't know them, won't allow myself to try and befriend! You have to have a system!

Demonstrating my uselessness at using facebook - except for my initial pleased with myself(ness) that I'd set up the importing of notes from my blog - it didn't even occur to me to look for Mark on the site otherwise I'd have given him some advance warning our interview was on this afternoon... The podcast'll go up on the 27th.<BR/>Managed to post on your Who compo thread now at least...<BR/>Like you said, I wish everyone put their addresses on facebook; I lost my address book in the same bag as everything else on the way out of Birmingham so have been e-mailing and texting over the last couple of days to try and get christmas card addresses off everyone, to not entirely effective results...Alexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09881943720070081597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20125944.post-84889283697848821332007-12-20T21:56:00.000Z2007-12-20T21:56:00.000ZSideshow Bob <B>is</B> aware of the irony of appearing on Facebook in order to decry it.SKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09102522819364312684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20125944.post-29269793006350799102007-12-20T20:52:00.000Z2007-12-20T20:52:00.000ZIt's insecurity, I think, that leads people to accept friends they don't really know, out of anxiety of being socially isolated. Certainly there's one or two people on my friends list whose friend requests I accepted out of insecurity, despite not knowing them very well.<BR/><BR/>A few months ago I added a pair of artists who I've known for about seven years, but whose work I've admired my entire life - I hesitated before adding them because we only really knew each other through my appreciation of their work, and I wasn't entirely comfortable of opening up my entire life (which, frankly, seems to consist of Facebook) to them.Tom Daylightnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20125944.post-15917820406311476932007-12-20T20:50:00.000Z2007-12-20T20:50:00.000ZDo you really go to parties where people play twister?faldorhttp://faldor.livejournal.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20125944.post-90845604371420379452007-12-20T18:56:00.000Z2007-12-20T18:56:00.000ZI think of Myspace as a play to play and mess around and to be honest I've not been there very much because current events in my life means I don't really feel like being silly and playful. <BR/><BR/>Facebook is more for interacting mostly with people I know well, whether through the internet or in real life (or at the moment catching up with vast amounts of my sister's school friends for some reason!!)<BR/><BR/>I happily ignore various app requests for the simple reason that I am slightly obsessive comupulsive and I don't like it getting untidy!<BR/>I'm quite please that apps have been developed involving sites like Twitter (for my updates on the move), Flickr (for my silly phone camera photo-blogging moments) and last.fm (though I also run the iLike app cos I do like to show off my eclectic musical tastes!)<BR/><BR/>My dad is on facebook. A few of my old teachers are on facebook. Unlike Myspace it seems to cross the generation much more effectively.mysgreenhttp://mysticgreen.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20125944.post-64196470065967187792007-12-20T18:01:00.000Z2007-12-20T18:01:00.000ZThat's a really well thought out and expressed summation of Facebook and I'm off straight away to put my address in full view! There's a little bit of horses for courses between FB and Myspace as you allude to. I've spent a bit of time this year developing and helping run a Myspace page for an musician friend of mine who recently left a well-known band (people who know me will thus guess which one!) and is back to having to market himself as an act. For that, Myspace has just been invaluable and by his own admission was a big factor in keeping him afloat this year and attracting international interest in his work from labels and promoters. Which is fantastic and it shows the power of Myspace (I know bands with contracts that not just approve of it but actually insist upon it) but Facebook, despite its size, is all about friend to friend communication and is a big factor in rekindling lots of old friendships ... some with people I haven't seen or communicated with since school. Good stuff, and its really a sharp representation of whats good about the Internet in general, that feeling that despite all the bad stuff on it, when you want to find someone to help you with something there's always someone out there who'll do so.<BR/>AbieIan Abrahamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11559298947264569514noreply@blogger.com
