Who are you calling an old man?

You know what, I'm so astonished that a lot of people I know use this! And they use their real name and real photo. (Not to mention, I keep hearing about it every now and then... some way or another.)

I on the other hand, do not use a real name or photo, but I'm wondering if I should make another account using my real name, but, you never know,... (Just for their sake, to test things, to see if I get "looked-up" and "friend-requested," etc. Also, a picture (I would perfer not... but...) would surely increase the chance, as well as putting in my area/school/etc. so that I appear in certain search results/etc.) EDIT: This may also be a good way to get members who we actually know to Yoshi's Lighthouse? I wonder if anybody I know, knows anything about ROM hacking, I doubt it, but....


People who use this include friends from runescape, people from school, people from church (the one I use to go to long time ago.), and etc. I'm actually amazed how easy it is to search for them.

And if you have not yet attempted to search for them, then I think you should. (I wonder why facebook, has to be called facebook, whynot something more professional? Aw well :( )

It's like putting all the instant messengers together, and upgrading them drastically.

MSN games.... = FaceBook Games
MSN chat.... = The Facebook chatbox you see in the corner... (you know, the chat feature I put in suggestions.)
MSN Display Name = Obviously, on Facebook, this one is your name, but it can not exactly be changed at full will.
MSN Display Picture = Your Picture, duh!
Do I need to go any further. (Very interesting indeed,.... clever ideas were put into them, only, we didn't think of it that way.)





I'm about to give a tutorial on how to search people, with examples of how good it works from my point of view.

The names/etc. are blurred as to not base this on a specific person, but a general tut in itself.

Yeah, this is actually one of the contributing factors to why I quit Facebook again (but also because I find it boring). However, this seems like a neat tutorial.

Have a nice day.

Oh wow, it's been a while. Um. Hi. I guess I can get back into M&L stuff sooner or later, it really has been ages.

Yes... it may be boring, but, I was bringing this up as a good way to get members... (but, we could all doubt that even then, they might not come that often.)

However, I have not made any final decision of what I'll do. (as in making a new account or doing something slightly similar.... etc.)


The WALL, as well, culd work for a blog.



When you did facebook... did yu use your real name? If so, did a lot of people give you friend-request/message you some way or another?

First time, no. Second time: Only for about a day or two. Afterwards, I made up a fake name for myself.

Anyway, I have learned that there will be times when an employer might look up information on their 'employee to be' to see if they are being truthful about what they say, and that things like Myspace or Facebook can cost jobs... Not likely with false information though.

Oh yeah, if you quit, your information is never actually deleted. All of your images will still be in their database, and everything will be the way you left it, if you were to come back.

However, it is apparently a good way t keep in contact with friends and family. I prefer the phone and Email though (even MSN is better for me).

Have a nice day.

Yes, I know that it can cost jobs... but, if you don't do anyhing that might make you look bad, then what do you have to worry about?


You could probably get found out for false information though, well, look at IPs... etc. I dunno.

Hmm... -- From information I've read, it looks like you could change your name a few times.. (but with a limit.) In their rules, it says they did this to encourage people to use their real names... It actually encourages me NOT to use my real name.. lol. However, the Alternate Name one seems to be changeable at full will without a limit? (I can be displayed in parenthesis beside your name..)

I've also read that if a Facebook representative know you are using a fake name and probably knows your real one, that they can change it to your real one and disable your ability to change your name. (This is when one should deactivate account and make a new one.)
