Facebook

[north_malaysian]

Do you have a facebook account?

[crayon]

Yeah, I do.
It's so great for keeping in touch with friends.
I've lived all over the place, and I've managed to find all my friends from all my different countries that I lived in, it's great.
I'm even re-meeting a few this summer!

[north_malaysian]

I really love some of the applications there especially Haikoo Zoo... :D

I've registered last Sunday.... and found it great.... I just wondering how many LI Islamic Forummers are there...

[Ebtisweetsam]

Salam, i have one but rarely use it....:D

[Ebtisweetsam]

:sl:
whats a facebook?
:sl:

Its like bebo, my space.... you open ur own web page, write things about yourself, and friends you know (or dont know) can make comments to you, message you, etc.
Hope that made sense to u :D

[Abdul-Raouf]

I voted for the third option.

Googled and found about it then.. its a social network.



I use ORKUT .. a google product...
all my school, college friends are there...


:)

[Abdul-Raouf]

Here is a list of social networking - sites..

.

[ikaj]

yeah..it's a good way to keep in touch but also such a waste of time..im on it too much

[Ebtisweetsam]

I thought for a long time they were a waste of time.... until i had no contact with a couple of my relatives, then found one on bebo and one on facebook, so i keep em open mainly to keep in contact with them... bit like Live MSN

[Danah]

actually I dont have but I will have one soon, I have read about its owner Mark Zoker Bearj who is the one of the most rich men in the world because of his website facebook. he is still in his tweenties. I read also, that he might be a strong rival to Bell Gates(Microsoft Owner)

[adeeb]

i have one but rarely open my account..:heated:

i found that i have too many accounts in social network site, that really waste my time...:hiding:

[north_malaysian]

My younger sister is there too .. and she would be working in Putrajaya (about 400+ km from here) next month... I think it the best way to stay in touch with each other on daily basis (if not hourly basis:okay:)

[aamirsaab]

:sl:
I have one too. I don't use it much though. I did go on it alot when I first joined but for 3-4 months I have barely been on it.

[tomtomsmom]

I have one but don't really use it either. It makes my brain hurt. All that stuff you download (that I don't trust so I don't use). I like myspace better.

[islamirama]

Here is a list of social networking - sites..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...rking_websites


.

There's other sites as well like hi5 and myspace and bebo and many more not listed there. They all are socializing sites basically and all waste of time. There's also muslim versions as well like muslimspace and mymuslilmpage.com

I have facebook to keep in touch with my immediate community members only, and then i have myspace, hi5 and mymuslimpage, but i don't use hi5 anymore,too much fitnah there.

[north_malaysian]

I think all of the US presidential candidates have their own facebook..... a very weird era of campaigns...:D

Malaysian politicians also have their own facebook too, but most of them are oppositions. Maybe because the oppositions have no chances to appear on national tvs and radios.... facebook is a very good place for them to express their ideas etc. And from my observations 90% of MAlaysian facebooks support the oppositions.

Maybe, it's the place we could find news/ideas from the other side. (Our tvs and radios are not neutral and pro-government)...

Thus, I really appreciate facebook.

[Amat Allah]

I have one but I did not open it:embarrass

[north_malaysian]

I have one but I did not open it:embarrass

forgot the password?:confused:

[MartyrX]

I've got one. It's not bad and a bit more mature than myspace.

[Isambard]

I love it. No more creepy msgs like I used to get on myspace

[guyabano]

I also have a facebook account, same as on Mashable. But since me and my wife have all our pics, Messenger, etc on Yahoo, I transfer all to Yahoo Mash now. It's still on Beta, and you can have only access if someone invite you

[Periwinkle18]

i don't hav a facebook accont but my sis does.

[-Elle-]

yep I have one.

If you decide to open an account on there,make sure to edit your privacy settings...or else,you'll be receiving an email every time someone posts something on your page.It's bound to drive you insane after a while(trust me,lol).

[al_islam]

I have one too.....good for spreading Islam, I own a few relgious groups....Please feelfreeto join and spread the good word:

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=5325929779

[iwuvaziaf]

i so had to post in this thread.. i am addicted to facebook..!!!! its the worse thing for a student... when u r studying and are trying to find anything to do but study, u will find something to do on facebook.. and before u know it, its been an hour or 2..

There's so many interesting groups on there too. Islamic ones :) but horrible ones slandering our beautiful religion :cry:. Sum1 sed they hate the applications well, u dnt have to add each one.. infact, i always refuse the request from my friends but if i want it, i come across it later through the mini-feed or browsing anyway so key is "to avoid the headache/confusion, click IGNORE now" hehe. But, add the "Causes" application. thats got to be the bestest ideaaa..woohooo

It is also the coolest thing for catching up with friends, family whom u rarely see. I found friends on there whom i knew from my childhoood (although, that wasnt long ago :D) coz we had each others' email address or we were just in each other's address book but not on msn.. its cool.. now am friends with my old college teachers tooo.. n nooo, am not a teacher's pet.. its good to keep contacts ;) hehe..

signing out..

salamaleykum

[Amat Allah]

forgot the password?:confused:

:giggling::giggling:

no it is not the password


I forgot the facebook itself.:hiding:

[qassy!]

Yeah I did have one but deleted it, because it doesnt help me follow islam!

[------]

:salamext:

^ It depends on what way you use it.

E.g. hi5 doesn't help you with Islam if you just meet people online and chat, but discussion groups about Islam are there.

[Ali.]

Nah I don't have it, everyone goes on about Facebook/Bebo/MySpace though. I just don't see the point. Plus I've heard lots of people get addicted to it.

[*love4isl@m*]

Yea... I have 1, its really great 4 keepin in touch of friendz dat u knw

Jus wanted 2 send ma message ova :okay:

Tc

[MaiCarInMtl]

I have it, but I put my settings in such a way that people can only see my pic and profile if I have them as a friend. I don't talk to most of the "friends" I have on there (mainly these are people from high school). It's nice to see what people are up to.

But i am sick of getting aplication invites. I even removed one person because they kept sending 2+ invites a day.... Grrrrrr!!!!!! So annoying!

But I do love my "I can haz cheeseburger" application. :)

[Ummah]

i lovefacebook. found so many of my old friends who i lost touch with.

what i love most is the privacy settings on there!

[farhan2]

alhamdulillah facebook is a cool thing.. personally im not addicted but i use it often as you all agree a geat way to keep in touch with friends. especially round the world rather then typing emails..
of course brothers and sisters you have to be aware of what you are doing aswell.. do not get carried away, im sure weve all been there.. ration yourselves it can get addictive but you have to be careful to where you draw the line from what is allowed and isnt.. Just a reminder peeps..

NOOR ART

^ Thats mine. so inshAllah if you like do join :D

iv also made a thread for my website and an art thread with my art in it.. khair..

just be careful inshAllah

otherwise its a great site.. very useful

Invitation to MuslimsFacebook
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
As-salamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatu.
We recieved email by brothers asking us if we can help them start of their project and give them some boost.
We told them that we would be glad to help and support project like this anytime.
Its new project and needs our help. To make it short, they like to invite all our college students at MMP to join if they feel supporting. (Nothing is wrong having our own stuff guys)

[Moon*Light]

:sl:

Yeah I have an account but I only open it if I was sent something or need to contact someone.

[al_islam]

There are some good privacy settings....

Can also be useful for Islamic groups.

[Periwinkle18]

I've joined facebook now its so gud i've found so many old friends.

[Silver]

I think i spend too much time on facebook...right now I am checking my friend's photo album on facebook when i should be studying. It's always like this. I'm like : it's ok, i'll spend 30 min on facebook then start studyin' and instead of the 30 min i end up spending 2 hours on facebook and then i have to stay up late to finish studying cuz if i don't finish everything i wanted to study i feel bad and guilty...hehe...:) :)

[Mawaddah]

Do you have a facebook account?

I'll just answer to the top question.

Can't be bothered to read thru the thread lol.

But yes I do. It's pretty fun.

[Nσσя'υℓ Jαииαн]

I have one too lol. I thought it was quite boring at the start, so then I deactivated it for a while. Then my cousins and friends told me to add them on it...so I started using it again. Yes I'm addicted to it cuz we talk on it non stop...xD lol. I like a lot of the stuff you can add too, like i got the Qur'an on it and you can join groups about Islam and stuff. There are sooo many groups for reverts on it lol. Ended up getting some adding me so it's cooooool man :D

Yea I agree it's past time. I check it once in a while.
