Facebook: what are the rules?
Rule No.1: you must have a profile picture.
If you were in grade 12 in 2006, about 80% of your classmates are on facebook, but the rest are on Myspace. You probably ask random people in the street to take your photo.
If you were in grade 12 in 1997, about 75% of your classmates maybe on facebook. Although due to some tension and misunderstanding, you maynot want to add all of them. Photos will include overseas trips.
If you were in grade 12 in 1991, about 5% of your classmates maybe on facebook, but only in the last 2 weeks. They are married with kids but hadn't totaly forgotten you. Photos will be of babies.
If you only went to grade 10, and did so before 1997, you won't even be reading this and have left the internet for your kids to work out.
If you have alot of facebook friends, it means you are young, or at uni, and probably in a social network such as church or gay/lesbian group etc.
You are allowed to add only 2 people you don't really know, and only if you have friends in common. (and if they are hot).
The whole vampire/zombie thing is stupid. Ignore.
Do not um and ar about whether you really want to be friends with someone. You don't have to sleep with them, it's just on the computer. The more the better if they have friends in common.
Best games: Scrabulous and Traveler IQ Challenge.
And last but not least. If you go to a certain persons profile every single day just to check their status is still "single", you probably should re-evaluate how you spend your time.

LOL!!!! That last comment made me laugh so hard James will probably come by: "Er Shiloh, that sounds interesting."
Great post! that last line is classic!
I agree with the werewolves and zombies comment. Another lame application is "hot potato". It involves.. you guessed it.. throwing a hot potato. You throw it to your friends and they pass it on etc. Good on you for creating a Facebook etiquette (Fetiquette?). It was about time.
I agree with everyone else the last line was the absolute classic so was the progression of high school friends being on facebook etc. THe other sad thing is that you don't have to check their profile you can get relationship status changes when you first log in
I think I may have just found that someone on the blogs here tried adding too many friends at a time, and facebook froze their account for a short time? thinking they were a spamer/stalker.
Was that "you can only add two people you don't know" one for me?
Cool, I can still add another stranger!
I appreciate your moments of personal reflection - and finally the realisation that you don't have to share a pillow with your friends. I'm glad you finally got that one sorted.
That last comment is the FUNNIEST think you've ever written. In fact I nominate this for best blog you've done in the history of this blog.
Wow thanks, that's a big call.
I'm in a computer lab with 3rd year engineering boys who are trying to show me more adventurous (probably illegal) things from the internet. By comparison my blog is very bland, but in a good way.
