Frustrations

This is not the normal rant over publication (or lack thereof) it is over facebook. Gosh I hate it sometimes. I am constantly blocked for friending people. Why? And why would they continually "recommend" me a friend if they are only going to block me from hitting the "request" button? GRRR!

I realize it says it is only for people you already know. If that was all I clicked, then I would have about 20 friends and the list would remain constant throughout eternity. I know very few people. (I am not including family, they can never get rid of me.) I click to meet NEW people who have similar interests, who know some of MY friends, and who just plain "look cool"!

There is also what is called the "ignore" button. If they don't want my friendship they can click ignore and the request disappears. Is that hard? I think I have only had ONE person EVER question why I send a request. And then they hit accept. I would 86 it all together but I LIKE the networking capabilities etc. I like looking at the pics people post (sometimes I blush) and I like the causes they support and the books they publish or review. I want to see what is going on! So I am stuck.

I am stuck in a world where facebook hates me and blocks me after two requests. How do people even max out their friends at 5000? I will never reach that in my lifetime. facebook is to strict on me. And it's not even a "good" strict like a spanking by a man dressed in leather ;P (kidding)

Stupid facebook! You have me trapped in your clutches while you laugh!

Anyway...

I hope you all out there have a Happy Easter. (if you celebrate it) I do. I plan to eat a lot and relax today with family. Loads of fam are coming over here. cousins, aunts, blah blah... should be fun. My family likes me. I'll have to see how many people I can make laugh today :D

Peace to everyone!

Wade

Deeze Hey Wade, I hardly use FB and I never try to friend any one, but it seems strange they block you from friending people they actually tell you that you might have something in common with. Kinda defeats the whole purpose lol.

Hope someone can maybe tell you the secret to friending. Maybe someone thats got over 2 or 3 hundred friends can tell you the secret lol.


Happy Easter. Hope your enjoying your day with your family.

Kaje Harper I haven't dipped into the Facebook waters yet. You certainly don't make it sound appealing. I hope you get to work better for you though, or at least start to have a leather-clad hot guy delivering the bad news. Happy Easter.

Monika Hi Wade, I'm Monika a good friend of Dee's I wouldn't dare even begin to navigate FB! People keep telling me to stay away, so I have. lol

Happy Easter.

Vio Happy Easter Wade enjoy the family and all that lovely healthy food lol.

As for FB it doesn't work for me and frankly I like it that way.

Wade I have discovered that you can basically accomplish much of the same on goodreads. You meet people. You can talk to people. (private message) You can interconnect with people of similar interests. (books) and you get a "news feed" in the notifications! I am liking GR more and more.

I DID have a nice Easter, thank you. How about you guys? (gals)


message 6: by Monika (new)

Monika Hi Wade, my Easter was very, very quiet. Just my son(Matt) and I, husband had to work. Great day to catch up on reading......which unfortunately didn't happen. Darn that GR and MSN!


message 7: by Vio (new)

Vio Easter was very busy with all the family over! Glad you had a nice one Wade.


message 8: by Deeze (new)

Deeze Easter was a normal day for me lol. Personally I much prefer GR to FB lol. No constant invites for farmville and the rest lol.
