Okay, I’ll admit it. I’ve become hooked on the Facebook, this fun little site for college students. It lets you search your school and others for people in your dorm, who share your interests, who are in your classes, or just for people you know from real life or the internet.
I’m curious though as to just how many, if any, other Dopers are on the Facebook?
Oh, by the way, here’s my profile.
Oooo! Me! Me!! Call on me! stretches hand up as far as he can
I’m on Facebook! And my profile is here.
Hmm. I think I may have spotted a flaw in my thread: I can’t open your profile, JimSox, instead it just sends me to my homepage.
Yeah, I just tried opening your profile as well, and it was doing the same thing to me.
I know this can be done though, I’ve seen others link to their profiles in AIM and other such things.
I’m going to keep working on it and see what I can come up with.
Try this link.
Success. Here’s a fixed link to my profile.
For anyone else who wants to post, if you refresh your homepage long enough, it will tell you where to go to put a link to your profile inside AIM. From there, it’s simple enough to alter the HTML for use on the Boards.
Yeah, me too. Luckily, I never became particularly addicted to thefacebook, but it is kind of a fun toy. Uh, anyway, here I am.
If that’s your thing, well, dig it.
Oh, and check out the good-lookin’ dude in my profile ;).
You guys are young! At least compared to me and my immediate group of friends at The Facebook.
What I find cool about it is that you can search by high school, too. I got one long lost friend that way. Not only that, but my name is uncommon enough that one person I went to elementary school found me through the search option. Another one found me because, after all these years, we have a common friend and he sent me a message.
I’m in it. See http://tinyurl.com/786sp
I don’t bother with it, though. I only joined to see if it affected our campus network.
Here’s [me](http://umiami.thefacebook.com/profile.php?id=10608551&l=9f96e892b6">Facebook me!)!
Just a friendly neighborhood pre-emptive warning:
Your Facebook entries–in the vast majority of cases–shine through that thin shroud of Internet anonymity by revealing your full name and which college you attend; in some cases it also reveals your mailing address.
Keep that in mind when linking to your Facebook profile. We want you to be safe, but we also can’t make a habit of coming back to delete your links should you get spooked and want your connection to the Facebook all disappeared.
So, think carefully when you post your link; ask yourself if you really want thousands of strangers to know your name, address and what you look like. Just be careful, folks.
Eh, I don’t get nearly enough attention as it is, Skip. 
I can’t believe my school is on it. We’re never on anything.
Such a perfect line, JimSox5, and yet I’m staying far away from it.
I’m so well-behaved.
Oh, come on, this is destined to become a flirt thread anyway, and we’ve got a past. . .
I’m trying to behave myself. I think I caused a thread closure before, about which I am regretful. So either we’ll have to take it elsewhere or develop a fun secret code. 
Ooo! Secret code! It’ll be like we’re having a relationship behind the whole boards’ back!
I think you people are nuts to be spraying your identity all over cyberspace like that. Just sayin’.
Thanks for the warning, Skip. But most of us on Facebook knew the job was dangerous when we took it. (Cluck) So to speak. 
Well, we can’t work it out here, or it’ll defeat the whole purpose of the secret code.Watch as we turn cliched board in-jokes into torrid expressions of…something.
