Social Networking!!!!!!!!

3 Sep 2007

Now I (sword) know social networking is the in thing at the moment & we or should I say Stileto use's msn to great effect to chat to family & friends biggrin

(saves money on the phone bill).
But being the Luddite that I am & not realising the far ranging reach of this damn craze I duly opened my own page so friends could see what i'd been up to inbetween the times we had last chatted & heres the BUT redface

, But I set the safe guards to friends & failed to read it was friends of friends as well!!!. I've had damn requests to be my friend from dozens of people with strange sounding names :crazy: .
Now i'm sure its one of those things on these sites of see how many friends you can aquire but christ today I had request from a 14yr old girl wanting to be added to my friends list mad

.
So i've now binned me page & if they want to know how I am they can phone .

This can actually turn out to be quite a nightmare, the use of these "social networking" sites.
We had a particularly nasty experience whereby one of the "single bi females" we had chatted to from here and subsequently then on msn, whom we decided was a little strange and was never available for a fem/fem chat, added us to a "social networking site" after we blocked an deleted "her" that sent us an email. We didnt realise then that by accepting to be added to there friends list or whatever it was that they then had access to all the people's email addresses that were on our contacts list :shock: :shock: !!
This person then sent them a nice email telling them we were disgusting swingers and that we were all kinds of depraved things (most of them true but hey ya dont have to let everyone know for God's sake lol

)
So my advice is NEVER accept these social networking friends things cos people can access your msn or whatever contacts list and if they are a little bit devious they can cause all sorts of trouble rolleyes

I did try MYSPACE for a while, but, after being bombarded by band requests, friend requests, then viruses attached to page layouts ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I had enough!
Too much hassle.
