h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Yes, it finally happened. I've joined Facebook. Those of you who wish to can now add me as your friend, if you like. I may even have sent you a request already.

Nobody can accuse me of being an early adopter!

Welcome to the world of Farmville and groups for just about anything

oh those stupid games - I have to hide them all they drive me potty

I play Pool, Kingdoms of Camelot (that was Vestboy's fault ) and the occasional game on Mindjolt but that's it. I just block the rest

No Facebook games for me. I even weaned myself off Scrabble pretty quickly. I just use it as 'twas intended.

I reckon I'm the only person left in the universe who hasn't joined yet. hootoo keeps me busy enough.

Nope, TC, I also refuse facebook. Think Ivan the Terribly Average also is part of that.

I really like his definition of facebook. "That's what happens when you fall asleep reading"

Well, I don't really actively refuse it, I just passively haven't got round to it. Plus which I'm not sure who'd come and visit me, which makes me rather weary. You're rather exposed aren't you? No nom-de-plume or anything.

.. whoops - "wary" not "weary" !!!

You can use an alias if you like - at least 2 of my friends do. You can also set the privacy settings so that all the world can't annoy you. Only the people you choose can annoy you.

I've got max privacy and turn down friend requests from anybody I don't know (and people I do know, if they're actually my daughters' friends )

Mol

I'd invite you to be a friend, but I don't know you

RF

I'm on this facebook thing too... they kept sending mne Emails, so I told GMail to put them all in the spam folder... asides that I log in every eight months and forteen days just to check how much mor ecluttered and unusible its got since the last time I logged in...
I use my real name though so not many people seem to find me... and those who do just laugh... its not easy being called Queen Mary of Bladder, as your full name

Oi, I sent you a friend request, you haven't replied yet!

RF

I've been drunk... I mean away for the weekend... I'll catch up soon with these Emails, but I'm in a long discussion with this Nigerian solicitor who knows something about some long-lost uncle of mine...
