For those of you that are members of it...what do you this of facebook.com?

I joined just a day or so ago...not bad so far.

If you want to see some photos I uploaded, go to my profile. Let me know what you think.

I like it because it's simpler and less annoying than Myspace. There is a growing number of us over there. 34 members so far in the ToOers group! You must be a member of Facebook to see the group, and requests to join must be approved by JF or David O, so it's relatively safe for those that prefer to keep their identity known to a smaller group than the membership here.

I totally agree with it being a lot less annoying than MySpace. I have it because my friends, sisters, and cousin have it. It's a way for us to share pictures and stuff that we find on the web easily.

I'm on Facebook right now... $\:D/$

I can attest to that, as she just poked me three times in a row. $\:D/$

What's worse is that CoT just insulted me!

/shame on my cousin for telling me I couldn't be on facebook because I don't go to public school. /

/ I can. $\:D/$

I'm going to be on Facebook soon. I hope.

Well, Facebook used to only allow students with valid school email addresses. In fact, to join a high school network you must have an email from that school or someone from there to verify you go there. (Ask CoT about that one.

) And I can't join as an alumni to my college because I don't have an email from there.

But you don't have to join a network for any school or region, and you do not have to go to school to be a member.

I have both facebook and myspace accounts, and facebook is definitely better! I hardly go to my myspace page anymore, but that's also due to the fact that I have more stay-in-touch friends on facebook than myspace.

Even though facebook is more inclusive now than it used to be, it's a lot less, for lack of a better word, stalkerish than myspace. Its format is a lot more "cleaned up" than myspace.

Ah. Thank you for that explanation, Darcie. $\:D/$

(Sorry... I know I'm draggin up an old subject.

)

I just found out last night that if you're in highschool, you do have to have a network of some sort. Because I couldn't register without one.

Lynne and I did work out a solution, though. $\:D/$

You're right Karin. If you're between 13-18, you do have to be confirmed in a high school or college network. I've heard of a number of homeschoolers getting around this by having a friend that does go to school confirming them and then leaving the school's network.

:grins: We didn't go quite that far.

Just register as being over 18 and they can't stop you. $\:D/$

:wrinkles nose: I can't truthfully do that. Lynne tried to get me to do it, but I wouldn't. (Yes, I know... honest to a fault.

) But we figured out a way, so I'm on there rather cluelessly.

I'm homeschooled, but I am taking classes at the local community college, so I registered under that.... $\:D/$

yay for facebook! $\:D/$

Posted: **Wed Jul 25, 2007 4:12 pm**

I'm in no school network right now, and I'm perfectly fine.

Posted: **Thu Jul 26, 2007 10:43 pm**

I have a facebook and I really like it. And I'm also homeschooled, so I registered using a school nearby $\:D/$

That's what alot of my homeschool friends do, they use the public school they live near because they are kind of in that school...not really though.

Once I was registered, I was able to find my local network. So I didn't have to be approved into a school network.
