Puzzlebrains

Hi all, how many of you are on Facebook? I've added several of you to my friends list - please be kind and accept me

Ive also sent invites for people to have a look at the Puzzlebrains page. I've also given instructions for a few people to send it to their friends. I reckon if everyone does this, we might get more members. Fingers crossed anyway!!!

I've got a 'fake' account that I needed to check out some photographs that were being talked about. It has NOT got my real name, but I can probably be found.

I see no particular use for Facebook for myself - I much prefer meeting friends on 'forums' where we share a common interest.

As you noted in another post, MBH, Facebook is a terrific way for people who do know each other to keep in touch with all the things they share, whereas forums tend to be focussed on a specific topic (with the inevitable off-topic threads!) and will united a very disparate group who otherwise wouldn't know each other.

I'm quite happy to do some updates on a Facebook page, but it's not likely to be much more than updates on new issues and perhaps the occasional "rogue" puzzle. And that's not really what Facebook is about...

Yep!!! Not knocking Facebook [....OK... not knocking it any more ] but not the tool for me.

At the 'computer media' course we went on the teacher was mad-keen on his Facebook account, and friends, etc. When he gets trapped in the building he contacts the campus technicians by putting a message on their Facebook page as it is the quickest way to catch their attention in the evening.

[Speaking for myself I would probably think of using the PHONE instead - but I'm a dinosaur ]



He is also a self-confessed Star Wars freak, so guess what I showed him when we were discussing the plus/minus of social networks

I only sent it to people who always puzzle on Facebook. They might be into it. Scurra I think its a good idea to put a rogue puzzle on there - if only to torture many more people! (Just kidding - you know we love being tortured)

Erm...if I'm your twin, does that make me a dinosaur too?
I don't bother to use facebook or the phone. I just YELL.

I have found Puzzlebrains page, but just to warn you I'm useless at remembering to look at it for months on end. So please don't anyone get offended that I'm ignoring them.

I don't do facebook as I don't want to know what my boys are up too on nights out. I read an entry from one son the other day and it is a good job he can run faster than me as his mouth would have been washed out.

That is a distinct down side. I stopped looking at it after I saw something very explicit posted by my nephew's girlfriend.

Why do people post things like that? You never know who is looking that you might be embarassed by, like your boyfriend's aunt.

Well, if I think it was OTT, it really must have been.
