WOW! I have been on FB for some time. Mostly for family but I welcome you folks from IAP. My real name just like this forum.

I have a page, but I can hardly find time to get there. It seems to take forever to
load pages, and I get antsy and open a new window to do something else. Then
I forget to go back..

I've been wondering about facebook. Is there any value to having an account or is it just to pass the time? I havent been much into the MYspace,Twitter, Facebook type of scene and am wondering if Im losing out on something?

Lupe, it appears that we are probably the only IAP members who aren't on facebook! :eek:

I've heard the name, but think it's similar to my page or my space or whatever that other one is and I just don't get the fascination and I can't see others pages without registering.
 
I am on there too, my usual name.....no, not that one, this is a family site...

I use it to keep up w/ the kids. My youngest just performed for a week in Denmark, a month in Japan and then a week in New Mexico. Without it, he would have had to update alot of individuals.

It's nothing like Myspace IMHO. Myspace is for pre-teens and teenagers. Facebook is above Myspace in maturity, but below LinkdIn which is a pure networking site mainly for job contacts.

At first I didn't see the draw to Facebook as it seemed kind of annoying. But now I think it's pretty cool to take a minute or two and read through updates from all my friends, co-workers, family, and now IAP members. It's like they are still here around me even though we may be 1000s of miles apart. The really cool thing is that I get to see a glimpse of my friends lives now that we're "all grown up" and see how yet some things like the distance between us can change, other things remain completely the same.

Additionally I get updates from my favorite restaurants, bands, authors and more all in one location instead of getting a million spam emails or going to 100 different sites.
 
Guys, if you send a friend request on Facebook, take a second to put your IAP user name in the request message. That saves the person you are trying to link with from having to go research who you are.

It's also a good way to fill up your inbox, I was able to find my Ex wife, but I'm not sure if that was a good thing or not, any one remember the old homily "let sleeping dogs lie"

I changed my notification settings so that I never receive any email from Facebook. If you don't do that, you will get bombared with useless emails.
 
I'm on Facebook using my real name. I don't really know much about it. But I would like to learn. I'm suprised to find out how many of you are there!
 
I just did a search on FB for "pen turner" and I actually found two women named Pen Turner!!! Imagine walking into a Woodcraft and saying your name is Pen Turner!!! HAA!:biggrin:
 
I'm on under MikeandLillian Shue

We use it mainly to keep in touch with family. We are 8 hours away from the closest on my side, and about 3000 miles from Lillian's side. So we are pretty isolated

I've been fund by a couple people from school and Dawn from here. It's interesting to see what the people have done with their lives after 20 years.
 
I'm not on Facebook, don't plan to ever be on face book... I spend waaaaaaaaaaay to much time on the computer anyway between the forums, my web site, ETSY and Art-fire... I would get a lot more work done if mine broke... but then I couldn't visit my forums every night or every morning.
 
Those of you who I added as friends, don't be surprised if I don't respond to offers to do this or that in Farmville or Mafia Wars or other games/activities. I only play one Facebook game and that's Sorority Life. I haven't even got enough time to play SL very well.

I hate to see a lot of your requests get ignored but I have no choice. If I played all these games, I would be out of work.
:eek::eek::eek:
 
I also have a facebook account. mainly due to a request from a member of this group. i did not realize until recently that so many of the members here are also gathering there.
I just wanted to let everyone know that I seldom if ever visit my account. once in a while I get an e-mail from it and will check in but for the most part anything on it gets ignored. I did find a bunch of friend requests from people that seemed to me to be members of this group. just want you all to know that I am not being anti social. i simply do not face book for diddly.

Same here.. I rarely get there, and when I do it seems to take forever to
do anything, see anything or even navigate away from the website.
It's s l o w!
 
I've been on Facebook for a while. It has been a great way to keep in touch with friends and family all over the world, as well as reconnect with people that I haven't had any contact with for many, many years.

I nearly gave up on it early on because of the various applications, Farm stuff, Mafia Wars, Plant a flower in my garden etc. Then I discovered the "hide application" button. It cleaned up a lot of the stuff on my wall and made the whole Face Book experience a lot more pleasant for me.
 
I love the hide application. I don't play any of those because of time restraints as well. Thank you for everyone that has accepted my friendship so far.
 
Yes, I am on under the same name. My wife put me on while my back was turned, now I kinda enjoy it, but not near as much as this site.

Merry Christmas to ALL!
 
If you haven't joined the IAP group on FB, you should!

I just did, and it's a much easier way to find and befriend other IAP members.

Just do a search on "International Association of Penturners" and it will pop right up!

Just to play the devil's advocate here ..

What is the logic of joining another site in in order to find the people
who are already here?

Too many people get upset if you post stuff other then pen turning here and on Facebook it doesn't matter.
