Right, I have finally joined the dreaded Facebook, after many years of saying I would never do it I have found family both near and far on there, and am wondering which of the friend options I should use to add them to my friend list and stay in touch. Do I send a friend request or do I click the button marked add friend?

 

Someone please explain the difference, or is it me?

[bluekarin]

Welcome! Tis a blessing and a curse, but I love it It is possible they have already requested you as a friend, in which case you click add friend. Or someone has suggested you become friends. Not too sure as it has been a while since I added any new friends

[Charlottechicken]

No, no friend requests yet, I'm Billy-no-mates at the moment as we do not keep in touch. Hoping to now though

 

I've just seen something that implies they will suspend your account if you make too many friend requests Something to do with harassment

I don't think you're going to fall foul of that have you seen how many 'friends' some people amass

 

And remember you don't need to accept all friend requests when they start arriving. I accepted a couple from colleagues I got on well with and wish I could 'unfriend' them as we now have nothing in common but it would feel rude . Easier to ignore until you are sure you want to be friends.

 

I have about 100 mostly family and a few close local friends. My best friend won't use facebook

 

I love seeing what cousins are up to and baby pics One of my brothers is very funny on facebook and I love being able to share a joke remotely.

Ahh, thanks for that! I'll start sending a few requests out to family then, there's a lot of us so I may be a while

 

I have one friend so far, a friend from my old job. Unfortunately, a lot of folk from there who I want nothing to do with are friends with her so I have changed my settings so hopefully they won't be able to see much

When setting a Facebook account up, be careful as the default security settings are very low. There's lots of useful advice on how to change this on the web at the Facecrooks page. They also have a page on Facebook itself, if you like that you'll get useful posts appearing in your news feed.

Thanks for the heads up about Facecrooks - I've added that page to my Facebook. Someone on here (I forget who!) posted some great info about how to maximise security on Facebook and I followed all the advice on that page, but always happy to get more advice and tips. You just can't be too careful and it's not always easy keeping up with all the scams that are doing the rounds.

If its someone I know and see regularly I click add friend, if not then I will message them, I only have 18 friends, must be picky. There are also loads of grouox you can join including loads of chicken keeping groups

[Charlottechicken]

Oh crikey! Right, off to find Facecrooks then, and a few chicken groups!

 

Think I've got my settings tight, most set to just friends, not friends of friends
