Facebook

I've been on facebook and my space for a year or so. I keep in touch with nieces and nephews who are scattered around the country. They ask me to be their friend and are very clear that they don't want their parents (my siblings) to join. One niece said she was going to clean up her page because I was her friend. I'm not sure what she deleted, but she left in the beer and a bit a necking at a party among the 700+ photos.

I like to have people on my list.

Likewise. I've sent a few invites, but not found many folk, and not going to be offended if anyone chooses not to accept. I'm not asking for forever.

You mean facebook is not about lifelong commitment? Wow, that explains a LOT!

I have a bunch of you still to find.

My first name is Rick and my last name is Slater so if you put them together you easily can find me. I'm in Kalamazoo which is in Michigan in the US.

For the life of me I can't remember Ad's last name even though I once sold her a nice bamboo flute in F.

I searched through 12 pages of Rick Slaters and didn't find you, my London strolling buddy!

I don't understand it and I don't know whether I'm on it or not.

What? They're all imposters! I'll search for your name later, after work.

I have no problem with Facebook but. . .

What's the point of joining an online community that is just a carbon copy of an online community we're already in?

For me, I didn't join Facebook with the intention of finding fellow Chiffers. I wanted to keep in touch with friends that I don't share a similar community with. I also wanted to keep tabs on my eldest children (and this was the biggest reason, quite frankly). As a parent, I like to know what's basically going on with my children online. So it's not really a carbon copy of what I have here. And really, there is no real "message board" aspect to it. It's quite different. Lastly, and most importantly, you can't play Scramble on the Chiff. That's a huge drawback as far as I'm concerned. I think it should be reconsidered

Whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine...

Even after clearing the cache, it still hangs up on the final 'loading' blue box.

but the other wordy games work!

I joined because my friend in Washington DC is on it and we can keep abreast of activities without long distance calling. It'll never replace good old C&F. Besides, it's like seeing people in different places. For example, I don't just see my family at one person's house. I may see them at my house or their house or at a coffee shop etc. Facebook is just another place to see some of the same people.

I didn't know there were games on Facebook.

No, you're getting this mixed up with the CIA watch list.

You may laugh, but when I was an activist in CND my phone was bugged. Mine!
