Calgary Puck and Facebook

[CRXguy]

facebook is pretty damn fun and addicting.... ran into some old friends the last couple days.

[STeeLy]

Some big name draft pics on there too... Jonathan Toews, TJ Oshie is also there I think... there's quite a bit.

ok I've come across a Facebook problem.

You can only have 100 officers in a group. I messaged Facebook asking to increase the amount of officers.

Other than everyone e-mailing the Facebook developpers demanding that the number of officers of a group increase (which I encourage all to do). What other steps can we take to have everyone's CP handle listed in an easy to access fashion?

Can you upload files? Perhaps an excel spreadsheet, but even then... I dunno

looking for ideas...

[fanforever1986]

I dont think you can upload files, but you could take a screenshot of a spread sheet and post it. I had this problem with another group too. Not sure why the rule's even there...

Sweet, one of the last ones in, the exclusivity of it all!

[enthused]

Even though I'm basically unknown here, I joined the group... I'm sadly addicted to Facebook... but its nice to be able to put a face to a name!

Why is everyone so addicted to Facebook? I don't really get it.

Yeah, it's full of people who I stopped talking to years ago.

All that will happen is we'll say a few words to one another, then stop talking, much like happened previously.

There is a reason I don't stay in contact with people and it has nothing to do with the lack of a decent communication medium.

Have you tried it out? I think the appeal is people can hook up with old friends from years ago (a decade for some of mine). Its cool to re-connect with old friends you haven't seen/talked to in ages. Plus its a great networked way for you to stay in touch and 'socialize' with people you rarely see... someone can live in TO and you can still talk/joke w/ them every day in the dynamic way facebook provides. Plus when you hook up w/ one old friend, you can browse their friends and find others.

Oops, I mean, facebook is stupid, why would anyone ever use it???

For sure. I send drunk messages to random girls if I'm drunk. I have more friends now because of it. Thankfully I'm a friendly drunk and not a creepy drunk.

I am not sure what that is, truthfully. However, I deleted my account recently. No point in my keeping it around.

Me drunk + Facebook = one baaaaaad combination.

I wake up the next morning and see what I wrote... and it ain't pretty!

This is determined by the person's privacy settings:

You will be able to see their profile (by clicking on their picture) if they are in one of your networks AND have opted for people in that network to be able to see their profile.

1 - It's great for sharing photos. The "tagging" feature is really good.
2 - It's great for organizing events.
3 - If you have enough friends using it, it's a lot more useful.

One of the issues with opening up Facebook to the general public is that random people can join and make fake accounts. When it was just university students you had to use your university email to join, so you only got one chance to create an account and if you made a fake name... the network would be wrong and you wouldn't be able to have a real account.
