I have addded a script so you can now put your facebook ID in your profile (edit profile). I'm not a "fan" of this type of thing but have got a facebook page just to see what it's all about

IMO Facebook is a self-inflicted disease and should be avoided at all costs. I value my little bit of privacy and don't feel inclined to make it easy for it to be invaded.

I think that Assbook would be a better description. Also identifies the content in a more realistic way.......

I know i`m probably in the minority regarding Facebook and similar websites, but i still say to these people... get a life!! Mick.

X 2Rockgrotto provides me with all the 'Social Networking' I need or require, Jeff I feel that in RG , where I spend most of my time, is like talking with a group of friends. We don't always agree with each other, but to me it's like we know each other, and even care about each other.It's an even bigger bonus when you get to meet a few of them in person. Regards Alex

All comments above seconded I had a FB account after I moved out to Spain, thinking it would be a good way of keeping in touch with UK folks. However, I found the crap that most peeps spoke about on there very "sad" indeed. After a long period of not visiting I actually remembered to close my account. I have recently created an account for the business after being told by other self employed here that it was worthwhile. Time will tell OR I'll just neglect to visit my own page out of total apathy towards it

I had an account in Facebook for about 6 months and although some old good friends found me which was good there were a lot of people whom I had no desire to speak with again. So, I closed my account a while ago.

The IT crowd's Friendface parody sums up facebook and it's ilk nicely.

This Facebook thingy is more for politicians, public figures, publicity, biz and those going after the corporate ladder advancement. For normal social networking, forums will already be good enough as those biz people, although present, wouldn't find you. Anyway, I have a Facebook and Twitter account and have not updated it yet. Time to update after this reminder.

You mean those that suck up to the boss by working back late ? ;D Only joking! Might be the only way to keep your job with some ruthless bosses!

Facebook works but for contacts only...
Having such an account does make you vulnerable.

I have linked the Facebook, after updating it, with RG. So what happens? I don't see any Facebook button at RG?
Those that wanted to find me at Facebook, please PM me. We can discuss something more serious there.

What is this "Facebook" of which you speak? You type stuff like "went to the supermarket today" and people are ever so interested.... you can even read their comments like "I fancy a pint", "just made the bed" or "off to hoover the house".... it's superb.

You can even have a "bust up" with someone on "your" facebook and end up on the Jeremy Kyle show...

Chong,
I can only think that you maybe forgot to save the new info in your profile?
I tried your number and it works fine for me.

I click the Facebook button at your avatar and "Profile Unavailable" comes out. That is supposed to be your Facebook id, right? I'm log in to my Facebook profile id=100000623277769 now, fyi. I even sent a test message to Pinkie from my Facebook earlier.
