- moredown, on 10/17/2008, -8/+50What's Facebook?
- ScottMcIntyre, on 10/17/2008, -0/+35Ah... Facebook, often useful but sometimes you get far too many requests to join useless groups.
There's always someone inviting you to join a 'change the world' group, but it's better to get your hands dirty helping these groups. Sending an invite on Facebook might make you feel good, but it's more likely to have a difference if we do something practical like raising money or volunteering...
QFA:"It feels good to click "Accept." Inviting others to do the same feels even better. You're part of the solution.While there are people out there who put in huge amounts of their spare time and energy for these causes, there are far more whose commitment to Darfur ends at "Send Invitations. It's not helping. It's the opposite. It's what people do to alleviate the guilt of not helping while continuing to not help". - SemiSarcastic, on 10/17/2008, -0/+33If 1,000 of you digg me up I'll eat a bowl of ramen noodles while watching Cowboy Bebop and donate $1 to the I'm Freakin' Awesome Fund.
- MillurTime, on 10/17/2008, -0/+25The "I lost my phone and need everyone's phone numbers" group is mysteriously absent.
- mattyk123, on 10/17/2008, -0/+19"A million members and I'm gonna drink this semen!"
"999,999 people joined. Holy ***** this is on. This is so on."
"Here, take my card. I almost drank semen." - 4cdawgs, on 10/17/2008, -5/+20I love drop kicking, bitch slapping and buying friends on Facebook.
- Llanowar, on 10/17/2008, -1/+13No trouble avoiding them if you simply don't join Facevook.
- Narcism, on 10/17/2008, -0/+12oooo.. grammar fail at the worst possible time.
- mstachiw, on 10/17/2008, -0/+12I'm not on Facebook, but if I was I'd make a group called "Human Beings" so i get the most people in my group but if that was made already by someone else I'd declare that person my adversary and create a group called "Human Beings - Sucks", but if that second group was made as well i'd just make one called "Human Beings - Sucks - Sucks" and call it a day.
- DreKor, on 10/17/2008, -1/+12Funny, I manage to avoid them. Mostly because I avoid Facebook.
- kplo, on 04/01/2009, -0/+9on that note, what the hell exactly is that little green patch thingee?
- AmyVernon, on 10/17/2008, -0/+7No, Scott, I think philostrato's referring to the Li'l Green Patch application. Send your friends "plants" and get rid of chipmunks on their green patch and somehow someone donates something to save rainforests or somesuch.
- starslinger72, on 10/17/2008, -0/+7has no one ever seen facebook phonebook? all their numbers are already there for you to type in. Dont be lazy and expect me to call you...
- electrifried, on 10/17/2008, -3/+10omfg the '1000000 strong against the new facebook group' seriously ***** me.
- SemiSarcastic, on 10/17/2008, -0/+6That dude's face on all three pictures was priceless.
- mrblue182, on 10/17/2008, -0/+6You had me at Cowboy Bebop!
- darlingt, on 10/17/2008, -0/+5Dugg!
- IHaveCrayons, on 10/17/2008, -2/+7I have a lot of Facebook friends and I have never received any of these group invitations. Actually I haven't received group invitations in months. Maybe it's because my friends don't give a ***** about groups? Could be. Don't blame Facebook blame your friends.
- inactive, on 10/17/2008, -1/+5I like how some people hate the new Facebook even though it is exactly the same thing.... except better.
- ScottMcIntyre, on 10/17/2008, -0/+4Just wondering... what green patch thingee? You mean on the dollar bill? I'm not sure.
- Motherfuhrer, on 10/17/2008, -1/+5My favorite groups are those that want to save facebook from shutting down. It's like a billion dollar worth web site and just to think that someone will shut it down, come on...
http://www.new.facebook.com/group.php?gid=28582178 ... - diggface5000, on 10/17/2008, -4/+7dugg for "who are you, bono?"
- ScottMcIntyre, on 10/17/2008, -0/+3Oh cool, thanks Amy! :-)
- ishotthedoor, on 10/17/2008, -0/+2Me too. I started using it when I started college (4 years ago now) and I've only ever recieved one invite. I also only have about 20 friends on it, who are real friends, not just online friends. Its probably the people with over 100 friends who get this crap all the time.
- inactive, on 10/17/2008, -1/+3Hilarious and soooo true.
- mrblue182, on 10/17/2008, -0/+2I second that motion.
- mixxo, on 10/17/2008, -3/+5I avoid them by just not going on facebook...easy
- briannuss, on 10/17/2008, -1/+2qft
- Alli3388, on 10/17/2008, -0/+1I liked that part too!
- darlingt, on 10/17/2008, -0/+1Or Faithbook, even.
- ORBAT, on 10/17/2008, -0/+1Your life must be incredibly sad.
- ronaldinho, on 10/21/2008, -0/+1To be fair, it CAN be useful. And not many people put their phone numbers on Facebook either. Is it obnoxious? Perhaps. I don't find it as obnoxious as, say, "join this group to fight......" ***** groups. Author is money on that one. You really care about that issue? Do something about it!
- SaraSu, on 10/18/2008, -0/+1Groups against Groups are the best.
- PaulGriffin, on 10/17/2008, -0/+1Needs more "I [lost my/got a new/got way too drunk and fell in a pool and fried my] cell phone...Give me your numbers!" group.
Seriously...No. - finn, on 10/17/2008, -0/+1it's not that big of a deal. Yeah, I use facebook, but my life doesn't revolve around it and I don't care so much about it that these irritating behaviors really affect me, and in the case that they do, I just block it. As for those who do get hit by these more than the average amount, it's usually because their choice of 'friends' is poor.. that is, they add fake people and product bots to their friends list and/or fail to check out the privacy settings of facebook (though not perfect of course, but not many people even bother to check them out, then complain about it)
- Typhoon2009, on 10/20/2008, -0/+1I hate those, because it's usually just a mass invite of all their friends. You didn't want my phone number before, why do you want it now?
- specialcases, on 10/17/2008, -1/+2Hey, if i join that group that guy drinks semen....
O.o - sreynolds148, on 10/17/2008, -1/+1brody ruckus?
- kaosethema, on 10/17/2008, -2/+2facebook sucks.
- inactive, on 10/17/2008, -0/+0The only thing worse than Facebook and its confusing evolution, is the need that Myspace feels to copy them. Can't I approve all of my "click here to get laid" friend requests, without being invited to join a mob in my event invitations, comments, bulletins and messages?
- inactive, on 10/17/2008, -4/+4It's not really that bad come on....
- emazur, on 10/17/2008, -1/+1What's your beef, hoss? One of the groups listed in the article is about how if a certain # of people will join a group, money will be donated, and this thumbnail represents that
- john2kx, on 10/17/2008, -1/+1it's all about the Washingtons, baby.
- pcronin, on 10/17/2008, -2/+2Not hard to avoid at all. Do what I did. Delete your facebook account.
- SunbearOZ, on 10/17/2008, -1/+0Facebook? Meh... so last year.
Being a participant there and being annoyed at the constant invites etc is a snooty as watching TV and being annoyed by the advertising. Medium = message (or something like that). - whoreable, on 10/17/2008, -4/+3Never had a facebook/myspace .... never will.
- mag3b, on 10/17/2008, -1/+0I'm fairly certain that the internet has destroyed humor forever
- kaosethema, on 10/17/2008, -4/+3it was a comment on how unimportant facebook really is and how sad it is that so many sheep have been led there by the promise of meeting other sheep, i understand that social interaction is too painfully complex for some.
i think it was the opposite of ignorance.
umm, haha? - phoenix2330, on 10/17/2008, -2/+1i will cut off my little finger. people are ridiculous
