What have been some of your positive and negative stories regarding Facebook?

Sometimes I find it difficult to add certain people from my past as friends. Has anybody else ever come across a past girlfriend/boyfriend/ friend that had contacted you but you really didn't want to be bothered with?

I made a conscious decision not to treat anybody differently; if they sent me a request, I added them.

After acquiring nearly 400 "friends", I realised that none of these people were close to me, so I deactivated my account months ago.

I find Twitter much less intrusive.

I don't get insulted if someone from years ago declines my friends list invite, and I've never had someone I currently associate with refuse.

I just never had the need to add everybody I know, like some people do. I try to keep it just close friends and family but you always have people who you barely know trying to befriend me. I just don't want everybody knowing all of my personal business.

fortunately, I have virtually no exes!

When you think about it, somebody could really trash you pretty bad posting something negative on your wall. Especially if you have 400 of your closest friends on your page.

Don't do anything to cause people to talk trash about you. Problem solved.

i love being able to stay in touch even if i just glance at the home page and see what folks that i knew all my life are still doing.


there is something about high school years that seem dear only cause besides work, those were like the folks i sorta grew up with, everyday, allday for 5-6, 7-8 years?...(if you include junior high or first couple years of college..etc. )

with my work taking me everywhere....it nice to know there is one sorta "constant" group.

Last week and until now...I've been addicted like crazy.

it's ok.

yeah I agree.

I don't act much different online than I do in real life. So I don't find myself having to hide from one group of people while I talk to another.

I have my profile set so that people cannot request me as a friend. They can send me a message; but only I can request their friendship. If someone I wasn't friends with in high school sends me a message asking why they can't add me as a friend, I just ignore it. Problem solved.

So far so good. I've added and deleted exes. I've met up with a lot of my schoolmates and teachers. I've gotten closer to a lady friend of mine. The only bad experience would be when applications fail. Other than that, smooth sailing. If there's drama, I don't entertain it.

Or see it. LOL I'm too busy farming and catching mice on Facebook.

i only add people i would fuck

O.o I like it.

I just go there to check up with my former classmates and fav celebrities, I rarely be on there posting regularly and broadcasting my personal business.

I found my long lost brothers on Facebook. My parents both had 2 sons from previous relationships before they got together.

I haven't seen my 2 brothers that my Dad had since before he died.

My mom just randomly typed in his name and there he was.

We haven't seen each other in 16 years.

We've been talking on the phone and Facebook ever since.

We've been trying to arrange a meeting, but I keep getting hospitalized. Which I currently am.

your story is cool!

It's awesome. The best thing about the Org is there.

I really enjoy it. Personally and having an Artist Page.

It's been good and hellish at the same time. I like little features like YoVille and Farmtown, but I've been dealing with a stalker on there. Some guy I dated recently has an ex girlfriend that was making fake pages and sending crazy messages to me. She even got her teenaged daughter involved in the harassment . I've blocked them so many times and they still kept playing on my page. I'm dating someone new and she's still up to her tricks everyonce in a while.

Get better!

I wish I could find long lost siblings of my sister and I but I wouldn't even know where to begin.

Co-sign!

I have found two long lost loves of mine...or rather, they found me. One is a man I just lost touch with around 1998. He moved to Cali. We had been best friends and then lovers. Him, I am glad found me. He said he had been searching for me for 15 years. He even wrote a TV show. Some show about long lost loves reunited, to try to get them to find me, but they couldn't. I changed my last name to my maiden name.

The other one...not so much. He hasn't changed a bit from the smooth-talkin' ladies man he thought he was.

Other than that, no problems. I'm always playing Vampire Wars and that's the only thing that gives me grief!

I have a long lost love I want to find too, but he has such a common name

I only joined a few months ago so that I could stalk past crushes.

But it seems like everyone is right now just posting baby pictures - I'm at that age - so it gets a bit disturbing though.

here lately tho, i haven't even been able to sign on!!!...

Never been on it

Do I want people I went to school with, contacting me, probably not
