the Facebook
Mar. 22nd, 2009 10:47 pmEvery time I go on there, I hate it even more. I can't find shit on there. Someone sent me a personal message, and it was over a month before I even noticed.
But now, I got an e-mail from Facebook, telling me "Check out my photos on Facebook". That's a little odd, but fine, whatever. This friend apparently went through her e-mail, and sent out some requests. Still fine. But the link in the e-mail doesn't take me to her Facebook. I have to do a search for her name to find her. Then I have to send a message, just in case it's not her, since I can't see this person's profile. WTF? Fortunately this friend was fairly easy to find, but some friends have some rather common names, and would appear on, like, page ten of a search. They don't really want us to join, do they?
But now it gets weird. At the bottom of the e-mail, it mentions two other Facebookers. Above their names, it says "See who else has invited you to Facebook:" I'm fairly certain these people did not invite me. Why does it say that? And more importantly, why does it show these particular people? One of them is friends with Cyn. So it could be showing some mutual friends. The other person I don't know... on FB. I do know her in person, but we have no FB friends in common. She went to my high school. That's probably it. Very strange that it's someone I actually know. I saw an ad for an app that shows you who's been searching for you. That's scary. I wonder how it works.
