- Jektal, on 09/25/2008, -5/+96This guy takes facebook way too seriously.
- NinjaJedi, on 09/25/2008, -3/+82"The driving force behind the success of Facebook is... vanity."
... just like every other social networking site. It's just that Facebook is easier (and much cleaner than Myspace) - divinediva, on 09/25/2008, -4/+45You don't have to friend everyone you've ever met. Some people use Facebook in this way, but we opt to friend only people we actually want to continue interacting with.
- jpregulate, on 09/26/2008, -2/+38New Facebook FTW!!!
- ScottMcIntyre, on 09/25/2008, -4/+35I'm only just starting out with Facebook, but these tips sound good. I've wondered about how to use the wall, and there's some advice here.
QFA:"7. Write on a wall instead of communicating privately- The driving force behind the success of Facebook is... vanity. People love the idea that others are watching what they're doing. Tell me this: for what reason would you invite someone to a private party by writing on their wall, other than to show off to all the people on their friends list who you don't want to come?" - samotage, on 09/25/2008, -1/+31But how the hell could anyone ever have over 2000 friends on FB if they follow all these rules?
- latrosicarius, on 09/26/2008, -4/+32Who's "we"? ya got a turd in your pocket?
- inactive, on 09/26/2008, -4/+31Facebook is SERIOUS BUSINESS
- agreenall, on 09/26/2008, -0/+1916. Join groups entitled "I will ______ if 1,000 people join this group".
- ploofka, on 09/26/2008, -0/+19Give the guy a break. His parents died in a freak Facebook accident.
- duggdowncatisad, on 09/26/2008, -1/+18Why would you marry someone you have absolutely nothing in common with?
- manutd8611, on 09/26/2008, -2/+19we are not amused....
- Gdub, on 09/25/2008, -0/+16Link it up!
- hawksfan03, on 09/26/2008, -0/+15But there are all those groups created by Mark Zergberg that say it will come back if 10,000,000 join and that they can't use his real name (Zuckerberg) because of legal reasons.
Anyone that believes that is a joke. Personally I like the new style of facebook, it is much cleaner than the 'classic' version - Mooglr, on 09/25/2008, -0/+15The driving force behind FB is Voyeurism - we look at people (and their photos) in a way we normally wouldn't get away with right?
"15. Inviting me to be a Zombie Pirate Snot Monster - Please don't do that ever ever again" ... well put. - dezweber, on 09/25/2008, -0/+14http://digg.com/comedy/The_10_Commandments_of_Face ...
- dafragsta, on 09/26/2008, -4/+1817) Don't be a pompous ass and write a bunch of rules on some website charging everyone who uses Facebook with some arbitrarily immoral crime against humanity. There are certainly annoying things that people do on Facebook, but those annoying things are done by people who are probably that way in real life. Man, the internet is all about the hate. Not every niche behaves or should behave like your niche, and therein lies the truth that will limit Facebook's longterm ability to reach everyone. Everyone likes going to their favorite board where they know everyone and all laugh at the same inside jokes. Facebook invites too many social nazis.
- RMoore08, on 09/26/2008, -0/+14"14. Upload photos to Facebook and deleting originals"
Amen. - dezweber, on 09/25/2008, -3/+16I prefer the Ten Commandments of Facebook.
- VeniceKnipe, on 09/26/2008, -1/+13Whoever wrote this article is even more irritating than Facebook.
- m0zzie, on 09/26/2008, -2/+14actually, while i much prefer the new style of facebook, i'm going to need to correct you here.
i've been scolding tards who complain about the new facebook - simply because there is an application you can add to your profile, which makes your facebook have the same look & feel as the old one.
i'm sick of getting damn invites to "Lets find 10,000,000 who want the old facebook back!"
i think i'll join one and tell everyone they can have the link to the old facebook for $1. i'll be ***** rich. - whatthefu, on 09/26/2008, -0/+10You can tell a British guy wrote this.
- feliks2, on 09/26/2008, -0/+10So what the ***** are you supposed to use facebook for? The only thing left is stalking, but this whole thing is much too elaborate for just that one reason.
- Straw, on 09/26/2008, -0/+9That happened to a "friend" of yours, didn't it?
- dezweber, on 09/25/2008, -0/+9http://digg.com/general_sciences/Study_Facebook_Pr ...
- inactive, on 09/25/2008, -2/+10It's facebook, not facecourt, are maybe real life friends all so serious, too - lol
- Gdub, on 09/25/2008, -4/+11Usually I loathe lists, but the humour of this article and it's soundness make up for it. Oh dear, too many pronouns used in that sentence. I apologize,
- Vindicator2718, on 09/26/2008, -0/+6They forgot the Facebook drama.
i.e. Person A does something controversial to Person B so Person B's friend either has to private message them and bitch them out privately or do it on their wall so everyone sees.
And then the bitching repeats back and forth. - RMoore08, on 09/26/2008, -0/+6Don't count on it.
- A11YND, on 09/26/2008, -0/+6"#16. Get of my facebook's lawn you damn dirty hooligans! How dare you enjoy yourself on a social networking site! Get to work! Lazy good for nothing kids."
- MScrip, on 09/26/2008, -0/+5Speaking of that... I can't remember the last app invite I got. Must have been at least a couple weeks. I guess the novelty has worn off.
Oh, I guess it's because they shoved all the apps onto their own "fail" tab... it's so much cleaner now.
Thank you New Facebook! - Alex2, on 09/26/2008, -1/+6Forgot to add "Use Facebook as a dating service"
- Botond, on 09/25/2008, -1/+6Interesting, pretty much everyone I see on Facebook joined for these reasons/do these things.
- dxgg, on 09/26/2008, -0/+5In many ways, sure it is. But I use Facebook as an easy way to keep informed of the goings on of my friends and family, and for them to keep afoot of mine. I don't harass them, asking why they're not commenting on a photo I uploaded of my son, or poke people when I don't hear from them. I just like the "central hub" that makes it extremely easy to keep in touch with people I care about.
- volpeculus, on 09/26/2008, -5/+10Zombie Pirate Snot Monsters FTW.
- OneLess, on 09/26/2008, -0/+5I've always said that the one thing Facebook needs more of is glitter images.
- pugs909, on 09/26/2008, -0/+4the author of the list forgot the golden rule that would moot many of his rules:
If your boss and coworkers are going to take offense to things you do on facebook, do not become friends with them on facebook.
...scratch that,
NEVER become friends with your boss on facebook NO MATTER WHAT - knubblet, on 09/26/2008, -0/+4rule 13: "Reading Facebook is like perusing a six-year olds' English copybook. Come on, people: 'Your' is 'your'. 'You are' is 'you're'. It really isn't hard to get that little one right. And understanding the difference between there, their and they're surely isn't too much of a challenge?"
"its", not "it's" - electrikyle, on 09/26/2008, -0/+4So... what ARE we supposed to do with it?

- ozziek, on 09/26/2008, -1/+5Why would you not accept a friendship request from your spouse? Facebook isn't the problem lancasterjoe, your relationship is. Enjoy the Goose.
- OneLess, on 09/26/2008, -0/+4Funny thing about the Internet...
- feliks2, on 09/26/2008, -0/+4It is often convient though, for legitmate planning purposes.
- ClarkNoHeart, on 09/26/2008, -0/+4"13. Lazy grammar and spelling mistrakes"
Please tell me the 'r' he put in 'mistakes' is intentional. Otherwise my head will explode from incredible irony. - dxgg, on 09/26/2008, -0/+3Say hello to the new design, mate. That's partly why it's there.
