I think another difference between a difference between the diary of my day and facebook/myspace ect is that with a diary, they were private thoughts that no one else saw. With the internet, everything you type is out there. Some adults have enough trouble distinguishing between what is appropriate to put out to the whole world.

I think with FB and possibly even Twitter the girls can talk smack and more can add their 2 cents until it escalates into fights. Also talking behind someone's back is much harder on FB and it's like the gossip mill at school times 200! LOL they can even say they are going to fight at a certain time and sooo many kids read about and show up that they are almost bound to fight to not look like the weaker one.

My principal & I were talking about this today, and we also think part of the FB issue is that when you type something, you don't see the visual, physical, emotional reaction of the other person. When you say mean things to a person face-to-face, you see the consequences on THEIR face immediately - and sometimes that allows the guilty conscience to do its job. On computers, you throw something out into cyberspace and may not have to deal the w/the other person's emotions b/c of the lack of physical communication. Kids (and adults, too, for that matter) will say things online they'd NEVER say face to face in "real" life, and that's getting them in much more trouble.

I think kids and people can also feel left out if they check out someone's friend list and then wonder, why didn't so-and-so add me? They don't like me?
I know that it has even happened among a few of my friends.

I use facebook just to keep in contact with a few people and see what they're doing day to day, but recently all I'm seeing on my homepage is quiz results.

Is there a way to stop output from that application showing on my homepage?

Yes, you can block that application. First add it, then remove it and block it.

That was quick reply, thanks! But is there an application which covers all the quizes, or do I have to do that for each one? It seems like each quiz is a separate application...?

kitt, i think each separate quiz you have to do another application, unfortunately.

I'm finding that, thanks Beckie. Bit of a pain but they seemed to have slowed down. For a while all my friends seemed to be doing quizzes all day!

my friends still do quizzes all day everyday...

and not only quizzes but those "top 5" things. those can be annoying, yet increasingly they're fun and make me think.

I'm a bit worried about security, or I'd probably do some of them. Every time you do a quiz or an application it gives all your info to it, and I don't really know where that goes.

I finally broke down and started a Facebook page. I do have a farm on Farm Town. It's kind of fun taking care of it. I read about the TVCH flair upthread on here and just added it to my board. It's great! :-)

Farmtown is addicting and a lot of fun! I spend most of my facebooking time farming! You start by plowing fields and planting crops which are ready to harvest any where between 4 hours (grapes) to several days. You can have farmtown friends (which don't have to be facebook friends) and you earn coins for helping out on their farm. Check it out....lots and lots of fun!

I'm addicted too! Very relaxing to me and I've been raking leaves for people since I started my farm this morning. Can't wait till my farm grows and grows!

I spent all afternoon yesterday reorganizing my farm after expanding it twice. I was up until midnight grading finals. Addicting isn't the half of it!

(Native-Texan has a beautiful Farm Town farm!)

THanks Luvmom. Sounds so similar. I know how much time I spent helping ds with webkinz, not sure I want to devote that kind of time again.
