3. Jack Johnson
4. The Beatles
5. Green Day
6. R&B
7. Rap
8. The Killers -1
9. Led Zeppelin -1

I think this says more about facebook users than members of said schools. Trust me.

4. Reggae -1
5. Gospel -1
6. Jazz -1
7. Jay-Z -1

And by varied, I mean "exactly the same but at least no DMB/Coldplay/Jack Johnson!"

In retrospect, I think the funniest thing about Facebook was getting a crush on some girl or another in one of my classes, then tracking said girl down on Facebook and being all excited, only to instantly lose interest at the sight of something like this:

------
Favorite Music:
The Fray, Dave Barnes, Dierks Bentley, Snow Patrol, Michael Buble, Hellogoodbye, Honestly, Five For Fighting, John Mayer, Lifehouse, Matt Wertz, Damien Rice, Stephen Speaks, James Blunt, Keith Urban, Jason Mraz, Tim McGraw, Jack Johnson, Cold play, Switchfoot, Gavin Degraw, Maroon 5
------

And I mean, that's just a generic example. This has probably happened to me dozens of times in my college years. I eventually gave up on girls I dated having good taste in music.

:(

I eventually gave up on girls I dated having good taste in music.

I eventually gave up on being a sanctimonious prig.

you spoke too soon

FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT

I closed my Facebook. I don't often regret it, but then who knows what I could be missing?

from Deicide page...very disturbing seeing the second comment under the first one

http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/5644/wtff.jpg

so today facebook's "recommended pages" widget recommended:

"The Fall Kimble"
"Ghostface Gorilla Hood"

no info on those pages and I am the first person to "like" them, because I am a sucker.

wtf how did they know?

http://blog.facebook.com/blog.php?post=434691727130

we need a nu-style ILX group

Good that they finally did that. Seemed like the logical move.

I'm guessing my groups will basically break down into:

Family
Family + friends I actually like
Everyone else

The Social Network II

...: You Are the Unpaid Extra

i don't get the cancer thing. the cancer posts. people don't actually write them themselves, right? so confusing.

shit, why is this on ilm? eh whatevssssssssssssss.

just visited facebook campus, walked thru the door of the lobby, conference room to my left labeled RICKROLL

entire place is like one big land of dead memes

cool place tho, but Pixar is still the gold standard of office environments I have visited

I get no real pleasure out of Facebook until I see a thread like this and then praise be to Zuckerberg.

Oh, I posted to the ILM thread rather than the ILE one. Still a joy though.

OMG please let that be real. You need to post that in the ILE Facebook thread for more attention though.

OK so it turns out it was fake. Ho hum.

lol

I don't know exactly why I'm enjoying this so much, but there may be a German word for it.

is facebook acting really weird today

not for me

goddammit

Some weird censorship going on today

like what

weird this is on ilm?

Oh its this weird thing where a guys blog cant be linked to on facebook without a captcha and other stuff

http://scriptonitedaily.wordpress.com/2013/04/25/facebook-censors-users-during-media-blackout-on-privatisation-of-the-nhs/

probably a thing like nortons does when wordpress gets marked as spam for one blog so the whole thing gets marked but still. Ive never been asked to do a captcha for posting a link before and it seems weird.

I cant access my facebook account with new password to new mobile number as link is not working, also link was not in new email account, when they said it was sent.

Please help

your new password is: GRIMREAPAHBRB

lol I forgot about the top 10 lists.

haha i didn't notice this was an ilm thread! oops

lol i remember the era of facebook when everyone supposedly liked jack johnson and coldplay

Worst Thread Title Ever Nominee for 2014

facebook used to be even weirder. the top tens. telling you when people stopped being friends or when someone stopped being a fan of something.

Lads

Facebook's algorithms remind me of a well-meaning but obnoxious co-worker who keeps butting into conversations.

"Hey, guys, you hear about what the Red Hot Chili Peppers did now?"
"Facebook, why do you think any of us care about what the Red Hot Chili Peppers did now?"
"Lots of people are talking about them."
"Are we talking about them? Do we ever talk about them?"
"I mean. You guys like music, right?"
"That wasn't the question."
"OK, I'll come clean. You seem to be talking about lighting Nazis on fire an awful lot lately, and I thought you could use something to take your mind off things."
"So you're suggesting we light Chad Smith on fire? I mean. It's not the stupidest thing you've ever suggested."
"Oh, no, I didn't mean..." (face turns beet red, runs away)

Best friend just deactivated for the foreseeable future. I have no one to go onto Facebook and whine about Facebook with now.

"Today is about celebrating friends and the ways they make life great. We thought you might enjoy sending some awards to show your friends what they mean to you."

fuck you zuck, i celebrate my friends by mocking them on the pvmic thread as is right and proper

fake friends awards

https://img.discogs.com/D4LWI_W7W0z0WcvB3n0895BzxcY=/fit-in/600x590/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-4704596-1372802189-6977.jpeg.jpg

I didn’t know this was happening but if I don’t get any awards I am going to be fucking livid.

"You can now configure Pixel events that are being automatically tracked"

I found a credit card in the street the other day and within 48 hours had located the owner (two towns over) on Facebook, ascertained that she wanted it destroyed, sent her a picture of me cutting it up and received a message of profuse thanks. It was like a window into a bizarre universe where the site had some kind of useful purpose.

good not bad

I noticed that this thread is on ILM and briefly thought there was a new band called Facebook and I then unfortunately died believing that.

haha sorry, i just revived on the oldest extant thread called facebook

I assumed Facebook was pivoting to music

Facebook is pushing that "share a memory" junk where they make custom videos out of your old photos to boost engagement and I just literally got shown a bunch of happy cartoon characters dancing on my mom's grave. 🤦‍♂️ pic.twitter.com/6NKIXqqq9I

Not to victim-blame; but images of loved ones’ graves are perhaps better suited for Tumblr.

Pretty wild flex from Zuckerberg here in Australia

Absolutely no idea how this will play out
