Facebook

Installed it on my laptop, and find it more useful and fun via the iphone or ipad, as it more suitable for those hardware than a normal pc/laptop interface...

It will make FB more graphic - like Tumblr - as opposite to Twatter-like status updates only.

personally, i like it, thought it was hilarious looking back at the tat i wrote in 2006.

I'm not likely to trawl through old shit on anyone else's page, so why would anyone bother doing it on mine. it' all good.

I thought the same Louis. Might take a while to get used to it all though.

Getting bored of facebook though, how people can spend hours on it is way beyond me. LFGSS on the other hand >>>

Anyone know if/how I can set my facebook so that if a particular person 'likes' something I post I don't hear about it?

Or can I even make it so they don't see what I post but without it being obvious?

Basically someone I work for has started liking everything and I mean every, last, thing, I post.

It's harmless enough but I keep my FB pretty well pruned where possible,not too any people on my friends list and I am unsubscribed from most of them because, well, they aren't really friends and I don't care what they read in the Gruniad or how many times they puked in the club last night, that kind of thing so when I get a notification it's usually because something I'm actually interested in has happened only now it's quite often because this guy has liked something I posted on my GFs wall for example.

I don't want to delete him as it'd probably cause bad feelings at work but it's a pain in the tits.

Speak to him in real life, explain what you just said, be polite and make a joke at your own expense about being really anal when it comes to your facebook.

Make him de-friend you

Keep sending him invites through FB to all the petitions you can find - change.org

This sounds like a plan.

This doesn't. He is quite disagreeable, horribly racist, maturity of a 5 year old etc. Luckily I don't tend to have to be in the same building as him at work and I usually manage to get away with less than 5 minutes total conversation time so the less I have to talk to him about the better.

What are you posting that he likes so much then? Top Gear videos?

If he's racist, report it. When he's sacked you can un-friend him without fear of consequences.

Facebook has groups now - similar to G+ circles.
Add him to a group you don't share with.
Add your real friends to a new group and share only with that group.

Probably links to LFGSS. Racist enough.

you can just- whenever something he posts/ likes or whatever comes up, use the drop down bit in the top right hand corner, and say- unsuscribe from....

Just another series of reasons to use Facebook with your eyes wide open..... Or just delete your account (after deleting all the information on it first)!

I've only re-joined FB after a couple of years. Mainly to keep track of flouncers.

I have now left facebook. I don't want my personal life to be a source of income for others.

I am deeply concerned about social media on the internet. It keeps me awake at night sometimes.

Your mum keeps me awake at night sometimes.

I'm sure there's an app for that.

None of those things bother me in the slightest. What's the big deal?

Because you're an exhibitionist. Some people like their privacy, but still want to socialise online with a group of friend (just not the whole wide world).

I barely use facebook anymore. I just respond to people who use my wall as a meme dumping ground, the occasional status comment/like and that's pretty much it. In fact most of the socialising I do on there is with people off lfgss, which is sad.

^ exactly

They use it primarily for market research I think, and employers can use it to some level as well. But as long as you don't spend all day listing all your favourite products and posting pictures of you teabagging the elderly patrons of wetherspoons of a sunday afternoon, then there's not much exploitation to be had.

I left it cos it was arduous and inane. Turns out I just replaced it other inane internet activities...

^^ 'barely use facebook'? you can get banned for that!
