Date: 2009-03-09 05:47 am (UTC)I'm at http://www.facebook.com/people/Pamela-D-Lloyd/1630964841 (http://www.facebook.com/people/Pamela-D-Lloyd/1630964841).
Most important tip: Don't list your phone number in your profile.
Next most important tip: You will receive many invitations to play games or otherwise interact with applications; choose the invitations you accept wisely and sparingly, unless you have far too much spare time on your hands.

Aha!

It does not like me in the search box because my name is too long. This is a problem.

I am glad to see you chose to use your own name instead of toying with a pseudonym. You really don't have to add any of the applications, most of them are time-wasters, but it's a great way to stay in contact.

Date: 2009-03-12 03:41 pm (UTC)For the pseudonyms, I am not so much. I attach my real name to pretty much everything I do. Most writers follow the same lead.
Is it just me, or is there no way to lock a certain note/status message to a custom list of people?

Date: 2009-03-12 05:03 pm (UTC)But overall a journal or diary has quite a different purpose than a facebook. We used facebooks at the various schools I attended to literally put faces to names and addresses.
