So last night I had a crazy dream about a girl that I had a crush on in high school, that I honestly had not thought of for close to 20 years. Actually, a dream that I was having a dream about her. Or something, I drank at the game. Hard to figure it out now. I looked her up on FB and there she is! Exchanged messages with her to say hello and everything. It's wild, I tells ya.

themetfairy Jan 07 2010 01:51 PM Re: Non-Mafia Facebook Thread 2010

It's definitely wild. What's really great is reconnecting with people from a million years ago, and having my recent pictures showing how much better I look now than when I was in high school

My wife's bass player posted really late the other night: "Steve Sachse just finished recording bass tracks for Lloyd Price's new album." That's a cool update. Lloyd Price was as much a part of the creation of rock 'n' roll as anybody. He cut "Lawdy Miss Clawdy" in 1952. His pianist on that record was Fats Domino (and unmistakeably so). I would have guessed him dead and, in part, mythological. It's like reading somebody saying, "I just did some silversmithing with Paul Revere!"

Willets Point Jan 07 2010 02:12 PM Re: Non-Mafia Facebook Thread 2010

I remember "Personality" and "I'm Gonna Get Married" from when I was a kid (my parents listened to Oldies radio). My sister and I wrote a good parody of the latter. I just assumed Lloyd Price was deceased.

On Monday night, my 9 year-old daughter was upset because she's taller than all the boys and girls in her class and, like your average 9 year-old, isn't really comfortable with being different. She's also upset because she thinks she's going to be very tall when she grows up. I told her about this girl I knew in college who was over 6' tall and what a great person she was, beautiful, everyone liked her, etc. Hadn't even thought of that woman in almost 25 years. This morning I got a friend request from her. Tell me that's not weird.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jan 07 2010 02:27 PM Re: Non-Mafia Facebook Thread 2010

Would have been weirder if she friended your daughter. Fman owes us an update on his new/old friend's crushability. Has it held up?

Her profile pic is intentionally blurry, to the point that I cannot tell if it is recent or old. And it is just a head shot. But she looks like I remember her, when I was 15-16 and too socially inept to bring a relationship to fruition.

So this is funny. I have a Facebook friend whom I've never met in person, but we have a friend in common and sometimes post on each other's threads. So tonight, in my phantom friend's thread, another poster asks me whether I graduated law school with her, because she recognized my name and remembered D-Dad and me. Too funny!

Edgy DC Jan 12 2010 07:27 PM Re: Non-Mafia Facebook Thread 2010

I, in a pique of moderator responsiblity a few months back, friended everybody in the CPF Facebook group, figuring the names I didn't recognize were simply posters whose names I didn't know. I soon became certain that I had about five new friends who I absolutely knew not, who had strangely registered at the CPF Facebook page, but don't actively post here. I get the idea some of you know them, but I am without a clue.

Fb thought of the day: Ten words mean a lot more than the like button and take only a few seconds more. 2nd Fb thought of the day: I've hidden a few 'friends', thinking of 'unfriending' one or two too. Some people abuse the privilege of providing them your 'ears' day after day after day after day.

themetfairy Jan 12 2010 08:04 PM Re: Non-Mafia Facebook Thread 2010

The like button serves a purpose. It's a way of acknowledging that you've seen someone's post. Not every post requires a ten word reply.

Kong76 Jan 12 2010 08:13 PM Re: Non-Mafia Facebook Thread 2010

you probably thought this post is about you don't you don't you I was thinking about someone else you don't see but you definitely overuse the like button too. And it's not a 'saw' button, it's a 'like' button ... it gets very tedious when someone 'likes' every single thing that another person posts without any comment ... it's lazy, inane, and one of the several things wrong with that community.

themetfairy Jan 12 2010 08:16 PM Re: Non-Mafia Facebook Thread 2010

Well, since you posted the same thought on a Facebook thread that I had liked, I did think that this was directed my way. I can't control how you feel about my Facebook habits. You don't have to like the fact that I use the Like button more than you like. Feel free to hide me if that bothers you.

I'm not sure what "My fine is" is. There are a lot of applications that I just hide (like Mafia Wars updates, etc.). If you click on one of these updates to the right and say remove, it gives you the option of hiding the app or the person.

How Privacy Vanishes Online By STEVE LOHR - New York Times - 03/16/2010 If a stranger came up to you on the street, would you give him your name, Social Security number and e-mail address? Probably not. Yet people often dole out all kinds of personal information on the Internet that allows such identifying data to be deduced. Services like Facebook, Twitter and Flickr are oceans of personal minutiae — birthday greetings sent and received, school and work gossip, photos of family vacations, and movies watched. Computer scientists and policy experts say that such seemingly innocuous bits of self-revelation can increasingly be collected and reassembled by computers to help create a picture of a person’s identity, sometimes down to the Social Security number. “Technology has rendered the conventional definition of personally identifiable information obsolete,” said Maneesha Mithal, associate director of the Federal Trade Commission’s privacy division. “You can find out who an individual is without it.” In a class project at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that received some attention last year, Carter Jernigan and Behram Mistree analyzed more than 4,000 Facebook profiles of students, including links to friends who said they were gay. The pair was able to predict, with 78 percent accuracy, whether a profile belonged to a gay male. So far, this type of powerful data mining, which relies on sophisticated statistical correlations, is mostly in the realm of university researchers, not identity thieves and marketers. But the F.T.C. is worried that rules to protect privacy have not kept up with technology. The agency is convening on Wednesday the third of three workshops on the issue. Its concerns are hardly far-fetched. Last fall, Netflix awarded $1 million to a team of statisticians and computer scientists who won a three-year contest to analyze the movie rental history of 500,000 subscribers and improve the predictive accuracy of Netflix’s recommendation software by at least 10 percent. On Friday, Netflix said that it was shelving plans for a second contest — bowing to privacy concerns raised by the F.T.C. and a private litigant. In 2008, a pair of researchers at the University of Texas showed that the customer data released for that first contest, despite being stripped of names and other direct identifying information, could often be “de-anonymized” by statistically analyzing an individual’s distinctive pattern of movie ratings and recommendations. In social networks, people can increase their defenses against identification by adopting tight privacy controls on information in personal profiles. Yet an individual’s actions, researchers say, are rarely enough to protect privacy in the interconnected world of the Internet. You may not disclose personal information, but your online friends and colleagues may do it for you, referring to your school or employer, gender, location and interests. Patterns of social communication, researchers say, are revealing. “Personal privacy is no longer an individual thing,” said Harold Abelson, the computer science professor at M.I.T. “In today’s online world, what your mother told you is true, only more so: people really can judge you by your friends.” Collected together, the pool of information about each individual can form a distinctive “social signature,” researchers say. The power of computers to identify people from social patterns alone was demonstrated last year in a study by the same pair of researchers that cracked Netflix’s anonymous database: Vitaly Shmatikov, an associate professor of computer science at the University of Texas, and Arvind Narayanan, now a researcher at Stanford University. By examining correlations between various online accounts, the scientists showed that they could identify more than 30 percent of the users of both Twitter, the microblogging service, and Flickr, an online photo-sharing service, even though the accounts had been stripped of identifying information like account names and e-mail addresses. “When you link these large data sets together, a small slice of our behavior and the structure of our social networks can be identifying,” Mr. Shmatikov said. Even more unnerving to privacy advocates is the work of two researchers from Carnegie Mellon University. In a paper published last year, Alessandro Acquisti and Ralph Gross reported that they could accurately predict the full, nine-digit Social Security numbers for 8.5 percent of the people born in the United States between 1989 and 2003 — nearly five million individuals. Social Security numbers are prized by identity thieves because they are used both as identifiers and to authenticate banking, credit card and other transactions. The Carnegie Mellon researchers used publicly available information from many sources, including profiles on social networks, to narrow their search for two pieces of data crucial to identifying people — birthdates and city or state of birth. That helped them figure out the first three digits of each Social Security number, which the government had assigned by location. The remaining six digits had been assigned through methods the government didn’t disclose, although they were related to when the person applied for the number. The researchers used projections about those applications as well as other public data, like the Social Security numbers of dead people, and then ran repeated cycles of statistical correlation and inference to partly re-engineer the government’s number-assignment system. To be sure, the work by Mr. Acquisti and Mr. Gross suggests a potential, not actual, risk. But unpublished research by them explores how criminals could use similar techniques for large-scale identity-theft schemes. More generally, privacy advocates worry that the new frontiers of data collection, brokering and mining, are largely unregulated. They fear “online redlining,” where products and services are offered to some consumers and not others based on statistical inferences and predictions about individuals and their behavior. The F.T.C. and Congress are weighing steps like tighter industry requirements and the creation of a “do not track” list, similar to the federal “do not call” list, to stop online monitoring. But Jon Kleinberg, a professor of computer science at Cornell University who studies social networks, is skeptical that rules will have much impact. His advice: “When you’re doing stuff online, you should behave as if you’re doing it in public — because increasingly, it is.”

seawolf17 May 05 2010 09:33 AM Re: Non-Mafia Facebook Thread 2010

I started following him a while ago, but have him hidden now because his updates used to be stupid. And it's clearly not an official account, just some yahoo with a computer.

Kong76 May 05 2010 04:43 PM Re: Non-Mafia Facebook Thread 2010

Started not long ago, thought it was humorous. But he posts way too much and there's too many bozos answering him so he will be hidden. Was Lady Met Mr. Mets' gal back in the day? I don't mean was it Lady Met, but were they hooked up? I wish I could click on 'hide' in real life many days.

2 of my facebook friends died this past week. Laurie from junior high school who I hadn't seen since I was 14, age 45, mother of 2 young boys. Died of a severe asthma attack last week. Jimmy from college, fraternity brother, last saw him in 1987, age 42, father of six, the youngest of which is just several months old. Died of a sudden heart attack on Saturday. Sad stuff.

A Boy Named Seo Aug 24 2010 08:38 PM Re: Non-Mafia Facebook Thread 2010

Got to experience the FB death today. It's a co-worker from my last job whom I'd considered a friend, but hadn't seen, and had only kept in touch with sparsely since I left. Like with Soup's experience, please no condolences or anything, I only mention it because I've often wondered what and how a 'death announcement' would be like in the FB era. This woman's brother logged into her account and reported the news, and people (me, too) offered their condolences on the wall. I guess that's what would happen. How else would it go? Dunno. A friend of mine had an FB scrabble game going with a dude he knew, and found the reason his opponent hadn't moved in a while was because he'd croaked. Once he found out, I remember he felt strange about claiming the win, but didn't want the 'dead' game sitting in his queue either. Sad of course, but the scrabble part was almost funny from my perspective. Anyone given stuff like this any thought? Anyone keep a list of passwords for stuff like this so your family might be able to notify your FB or CPF or whatever kinda peeps you 'know online' that you're kaput? I did a while back. Thought it was kinda weird, but figured that's part of livin' & dyin' in the 2K10+.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 24 2010 09:16 PM Re: Non-Mafia Facebook Thread 2010

My Dad died and took his facebook password with him (he actually forgot it long before, but that's what old men do). I had to prove to FB I was really a relative and petitioned to "memorialize" his page so that nobody could write on it, be his friend, etc. For my buddy who passed away last year, FB still prompts me to "help him find his friends" since it seems to know he hasn't been particularly active lately. I guess it will go on for perpetuity. His family set up a separate "memories of Ted" page that gets most of the traffic these day but it doesn't seem like they moved to deactivate his real page.

A Boy Named Seo Aug 24 2010 09:30 PM Re: Non-Mafia Facebook Thread 2010

The family of the guy in the scrabble story took his page offline immediately, and my friend thought it really abrupt, and he & I wondered if people who'd known him passively and maybe only kept in touch through fb nowadays had any way to offer condolences. Maybe it doesn't even matter so much for 'fringe' type friends anyway. Don't know. If you don't mind me asking, was it difficult to deal with fb to prove you were family? they must get requests like that all the time, i'd imagine.

Should etiquette dictate that if you send a request and it's accepted then you are the one that should say "hello , how are ya" type of thing. That's how I roll on facebook anyway. It's been a week and now I am cutting them , a facebook "fuck you" if you will.

Anyone quit facebook for a while? I turned my account off for a couple weeks in an attempt to bring back phone conversations and real-life talking and shit like that. The onus was on me to reach out more thru non-FB channels & I did, but it was a way failed experiment for me. Like most normal peoples, mine are pretty entrenched in it and over that short period of time, i heard from peeps ranging from 'a lot less' to 'not at all', and forget seeing pictures of your nieces & nephews or things like that anymore. FB is king. Someone asked me how they could invite me to their bbq w/ no FB, for crissakes. I'm sure at some point the next, cool-ass site will come and bump FB from the top spot, but that's not gonna happen for many years, I don't think, what with the integration of the 'like' button in every corner of the internet, how you can 'conveniently' login on any website in the world now with your facebook account, and their new @facebook.com email/messaging they're about to roll out. the giant's getting giant-er, & i think i need to just shut my yappy and roll w/ it again. ps - n e 1 wanna join my mafia??
