Ew. I very seldom write on DH's wall. Even when we were in an LDR before we got married. Very seldom.

I dont fully understand this whole phenomenon of making the corners of photos all shady looking. I kind of get it if it enhances the photo in some way but neither of those examples are enhanced in a positive way at all.

Tim and I sometimes write on each other's walls, but mostly it's just to bust each other's balls (so to speak)

katiewhompus · April 2010

Scott doesn't even have a facebook account..he had a myspace that we used to talk with each other when he lived in Maine, then he let it die when he moved back down.

jajph1974 · April 2010

Does anyone actually still use Myspace?

Koopa17 · April 2010

I currently have a fb friend who is updating her

album real time. Showing pictures of the traffic on the highway, the radio station you are listening to and the road signs is annoying, and not at all cute.

JessAndTrav · April 2010

I like the effect when done right. IMO, in my signature picture, it's done right. It brings the focus to the clinking glasses.

But it's all in how you do it.

IMO: A decent edit:

IMO, a not as good edit:

Maybe that's just me.

One of FI's aunts posts a new one of these EVERYDAY..

"It's niece & nephew week! If you have nieces and nephews who are a blessing in your life, copy and paste this to your status with their names:Isaac, Izabella, Dylan, Marisa, Miranda, Jeffery, Jenny, Johnathan, Brandon, Caleb, Kalyee, Jessica, Colin, and Bryson, Kevin, Jeffery, and James."

"If you have a wonderful husband, fiancé, or boyfriend that works hard to take care of you and would do anything for you, then repost this as your status to give the honest good men out there the recognition they deserve. Because great men are few and far between, and I have one of them ♥."

I could go on and on with those. I love her to death, but they get so annoying. Also she publishes everything from her Fish World, Farmville, YoVille etc. UGH.

Oh. My. That would earn the following from me, if possible:

<a href="#" title="Click to view a larger photo" onclick="return gSiteLife.LoadForumPage('ForumImage', 'plckPhotoId', 'd7391c93-f6d3-443f-8850-f05965e7a813', 'plckRedirectUrl', gSiteLife.EscapeValue(window.location.href));"> <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/images/store/7/8/d7391c93-f6d3-443f-8850-f05965e7a813.medium.jpg" alt="" /></a>

Which, may I add, I still wish that FB had a dislike option.

When done well, its extremely subtle and you cant really pick it out. I think i needed to specify that further.

jajph1974 · April 2010

Is it bad that I want to correct people's status updates for spelling and grammar?

I have yet to do it, but it's SOOO tempting.

JessAndTrav · April 2010

I know what you mean. Maybe because I'm a photoshop-junkie I also notice the poor choices in photo editing.

I hate when people make the lights look like cross-ish-star-things, as seen here. IMO, it cheapens the photo.

I've done that before.

Someone once said, "ment" and I commented with "<font color="#ff0000">*meant</font>"

ETA: It was like a release of pent up frustration. And it was fantastic.

katiewhompus · April 2010

I think myspace is dead, however I frequently use it in school debates about software we use. (Basically the program has a facebook aka "boring" background, no skin options, etc and they want it more myspace, which is more popular?)

I am starving today. I don't know if its backlash from two days ago but I feel like I have eaten so much and am still ridiculously hungry (and not bored hungry or emotional eating hungry)

My ultimate least favourite edit is when the edges are blurred and appear cloudy and paler than the rest of the photo. I hate that. With the amount of awesome you can do with photoshop, I dont know why people dont utilize it.

JessAndTrav · April 2010

You know what I love about Facebook?

The lack of glitter graphics.

Somehow I don't see that going over well for me. The worst part is, Tim is the one I want to correct the most.

He's smart and can be very articulate when he wants to be, but his spelling is atrocious

I just the purchase of Photoshop came with a "how-to-not-suck-at-photo-editing" course.

That'd be awesome and save me a lot of wrinkled expressions of judgment.

Smokey, I think I love you.

This is what I have as my favorite quote on my FB page-

I think you're all fucked in the head. We're ten hours from the fucking fun park and you want to bail out. Well I'll tell you something. This is no longer a vacation. It's a quest. It's a quest for fun. I'm gonna have fun and you're gonna have fun. We're all gonna have so much fucking fun we'll need plastic surgeory to remove our godamn smiles. You'll be whistling 'Zip-A-Dee Doo-Dah' out of you're assholes! I gotta be crazy! I'm on a pilgrimage to see a moose. Praise Marty Moose! Holy Shiit!

I'm the same way except with Christmas Vacation. I can't get enough of it. Ever.

JessAndTrav · April 2010

For those that still have FB & MySpace, do you find that the "klassier" kids hang out on MySpace, and the classier hang out on FB?

For me it is this way. I have a MySpace for the ability to be nosy/spy when I want to be. It has a default photo, lists that I am a married female and that I'm a Taurus. That's it.

I haven't actually done anything with my Myspace in close to a year. The only reason I go on there now is for the playlists that I have in the music section. Something to listen to while knotting, etc.
