I usually don't spend much time playing with facebook, in fact I only signed in because of peer pressure. So I said to myself: "ahh what the hell why not check it out for a change". So here I am browsing facebook and I don't know what to do in it, I joined some groups, became a fan of beer and that's it.
Well I guess my question is can some of you help me improve my facebook experience and expertise about it, help me with the tools of the trade if you will... I'm such a noob at it.

Oh by the way I found this little gem of a group I thought I could share (I'ts most likely been posted before here in TL, because let's face it TL is the internet, but anyway..)

46 funny things to do on an elevator:

+ Show Spoiler +
1. Grimace painfully while smacking your forehead and muttering: "Shut up, dammit, all of you just shut UP!"

2. Whistle the first seven notes of "It's a Small World" incessantly.

3. Crack open your briefcase or purse, and while peering inside ask: "Got enough air in there?"

4. Offer name tags to everyone getting on the elevator. Wear yours upside-down.

5. Stand silent and motionless in the corner, facing the wall, without getting off.

6. When arriving at your floor, grunt and strain to yank the doors open, then act embarrassed when they open by themselves.

7. Greet everyone getting on the elevator with a warm handshake and ask them to call you Admiral.

8. On the highest floor, hold the door open and demand that it stay open until you hear the penny you dropped down the shaft go "plink" at the bottom.

9. Stare, grinning, at another passenger for a while, and then announce: "I've got new socks on!"

10. When at least 8 people have boarded, moan from the back: "Oh, no, not now, damn motion sickness!"

11. Meow occasionally.

12. Holler "Chutes away!" whenever the elevator descends.

13. Walk on with a cooler that says "human head" on the side.

14. Stare at another passenger for a while, then announce "You're one of THEM!" and move to the far corner of the elevator.

15. Wear a puppet on your hand and talk to other passengers "through" it.

16. When the elevator is silent, look around and ask "is that your beeper?"

17. Say "Ding!" at each floor.

18. Say "I wonder what all these do" and push the red buttons.

19. Listen to the elevator walls with a stethoscope.

20. Draw a little square on the floor with chalk and announce to the other passengers that this is your "personal space."

21. Announce in a demonic voice: "I must find a more suitable host body."

22. Make explosion noises when anyone presses a button.

23. Wear "X-Ray Specs" and leer suggestively at other passengers.

24. Stop at every floor, run off the elevator, then run back on.

25. Sit down and occasionally rub people's lower legs.

26. Talk to only one passenger about yourself story and cry out in pain when they get off.

27. Put on a death costume and sit infront of the doors so when it opens people automatically see you.

28. Walk on with a large container of condoms and a 10 lb bag of ice and hum incessantly.

29. Get a group of people to stare at a wall that doesn't open so people stare with you.

30. When there's only one other person in the elevator, tap them on the shoulder and then pretend it wasn't you.

31. Push the buttons and pretend they give you a shock. Smile, and go back for more.

32. Ask if you can push the button for other people, but push the wrong ones.

33. Call the Psychic Hotline from your cell phone and ask if they know what floor your on.

34. Hold the doors open and say your waiting for a friend. After a while, let the doors close, and say, "Hi Greg. How's your day been?"

35. Drop a pen and wait until someone goes to pick it up, then scream, "That's mine!"

36. Bring a camera and take pictures of everyone in the elevator.

37. Move your desk into the elevator and whenever anyone gets on, ask if they have an apointment.

38. Lay down the twister mat and ask people if they would like to play.

39. Leave a box in the corner, and when someone gets on, ask them if they can hear ticking.

40. Pretend you are a flight attendant and review emergency procedures and exits with the passengers.

41. Swat at flies that don't exist.

42. Call out, "Group Hug!"and then enforce it.

43. Judge what other people are wearing on the elevator very harshly out-loud.

44. Do Tai Chi excercises.

45. Enforce an elevator tax.

46. Lean against the door talking on the phone so when it opens you fall out, the bigger scene the better.

I don't know why you want to play that, it's such a grind. It takes over 8000 hours to level up and the Friends currency they have there can't even be sold for real money.

ya, most people just seem to browse through other people's photos. I personally think facebook is really lame. I joined for the same reason the OP did, all my friends had it and demanded I get it so they could contact me through it. I only go on when I get emails saying someone added me or sent a message or whatever.

you usually don't tell them anything to add. assuming they want to add you on facebook they already know your name and they just search it.
It just kind of goes
"Hey, do you have facebook?"
"Yeah, add me"
"Ok, I will when I get home"
Done.

FB is convenient to find people you haven't seen in 15 years, get rid of your friends whining about how you should get a FB account, and join the odd funny group here and there. Other than that it's boring as fuck and a waste of time(at least for me it is) .

Well yeah i know how to "collect friends" if that's what you mean, but how do you add someone?

Say for example i meet someone when i'm out and she tells me to add her on facebook, do you just search her full name and try to pick her out from the few hundred search results or is there a more precise way of sharing your profile, kinda like "yeah i'm grobo on TL, add me"

This Facebook thing is ridiculous. I'd rather interact with my friends in person.

Myspace and Facebook are about collecting playing cards of people no one has even heard about. It is a further de-evolution into symbolic bullshit - all this when you could have THE REAL THING. :O

Sometimes you have to, but it can be easy if you know a little about her. Like the "Network" she is from. I am from the ___________ Secondary School '09 because I'm graduating at the end of this school year, as are all the other gr.12's in my school, or some just have their network as where they live or something. It can be difficult to find some people but you just have to try to narrow it down as much as possible, therefore making sure you know their last name can be quite important sometimes.

Edit: TEXT WALL WARNING! tldr; it doesn't replace other communication forms, it augments them and does it well.


It took me a long time to "get" facebook. I think I do now. The problem is you are looking at it the wrong way:

#1 - It isn't a 'playing cards' collection game as some posts have said. If you treat it that way you are more likely to alienate your real friends who feel marginalized now. Every one of my facebook friends I would stop and chat with if I happened to see them on the street.
#2 - It isn't intended to replace other forms of communication, as other posts have implied.
#3 - This is the important one, it isn't a "thing" you go do. It is a collection of "things" you can do. Facebook is an ecosystem and inside that ecosystem there are literally hundreds of things that you could occupy time with, but facebook it's self is just a setting.

Now.. For what finally made it "click" for me, is I started looking at it as a new form of communication with my friends that is good at what it does and fills a niche other forms don't. Facebook is an asynchronous and indirect vehicle for staying connected with my friends. Look at it like an IRC chat room where you are only receiving messages from people you care about, and all the messages are directed "At the world"... That is how I view it.

Also, I think scale is important. If you only have a dozen or less people who you would be adding, I am not sure if the benefits are going to show through. It wouldn't have been that useful to me back in high school. But at this point in my life I have an accumulation of high school, college, work, and misc friends and to 'keep up' with them through direct means is pretty much impossible. Before I started using facebook this basically means I fell completely out of touch with 90% of my friends and only devoted any energy to maintaining about a dozen 'current' friend connections. Now I am able to keep in contact with a wider net of my friends. It is an asychronous, indirect, and ultimately somewhat shallow contact, but it is there where it once was previously non-existent.

I close with a random anecdote: About a week ago a friend I had not truely talked to in years posted a facebook status update "XXXXX is having a bad day." I replied with a comment showing some concern. They replied by giving me a call and we had a nice half hour chat catching up and laughing about old times. Shortly after we were done talking I saw the same friend post a new status update "XXXXX is feeling good now. It is great to have friends."

I wouldn't add people you only know online to facebook, unless you plan to meet them in person.

My page is very bland, just a wall because I don't expect to use it for entertainment. It's just an incredibly convenient way to keep in touch with people (relatives/friends you met on holiday, old school friends). And it's popular enough so that if you meet someone new you can say "add me on facebook", and exchange contact details later.

The people who see it as pointless probably have a very tight group of close friends that text or IM a lot. (Or they don't have many friends, but obviously everyone on the Internet is super-popular)

lol that's all i do when i'm at work. browse fb cuz .. i'm a slacker. but beyond that, i think it's a great way to keep up to date with people you normally wouldn't keep in touch with IRL. i have friends from high school i was able to find and keep in touch with - even if it's just sayin hi on their wall or something. it's a great method to notify your friends in similar proximity to events and such as well. and how else can i share pictures with people - for free? :D

for really social people, for those who travel a lot or move around a bunch, fb is a convienient medium to use to be able to keep in touch.

This was originally (?) posted on a website called listology.
http://www.listology.com/content_show.cfm/content_id.20941

It was a good laugh, but facebook tends to rarely have anything too original.

The guy who posted it has a few other funny lists.
