Title: Facebook awareness
Post by: DeadStik on April 14, 2011, 06:16:53 AM
Hey guys,

I only recently discovered the HiTech - Aces High Facebook page. I don't know how long it has been up (I think a month), but make sure to support it by visiting and clicking the "like" button! Support your virtual passion!  :)

The Aces High II page has 2k+ followers or whatever they're called. I'm not sure if it's official though.

I think it is, they posted news to my wall about the new updates.  Of course, it could be a player doing that as well.

It is, they started it a few months ago, you can get to it from the HTC home page actually.  They'll do updates, it's the same ones they do on the homepage but I'm on facebook more than the homepage so it's nice getting updates there.  I think they have a twitter too, if you're into that.

Not at all.  I barely use it, and I haven't posted an update there in probably a year.  What I don't do is hate it for the sake of hating it, which seems to be what all the cool kids are doing these days.

The comparison is apt, and your intuition is false.

No... Facebook is more akin to wearing your baggy jeans down below your crack so your underwear shows.... It's more of a social statement than one of capability or ability.


That would be my analogy, if I had to make one.

And you assumed "devotion."  Look at us both, assuming.

On the bright side, I did find an article about Krusty (http://www.theonion.com/articles/area-man-constantly-mentioning-he-doesnt-own-a-tel,429/).  It predates Facebook though.

Good point. My total lack of respect for it as an online tool does not immediately jump to "hatred" -- disdain, indifference, dislike, but no presence of hate IMO.


P.S. DMF: Did you even see the SouthPark episode I referenced? Not only was it hilarious, it's pretty on-the-money.

It's an anti-culture, and I take part in it in that I will never own a north face jacket, I'll never wear plaid shorts, and I don't say "bro".  (Greek culture on my campus).

I did a quick search by poster (Shuffler) and keyword (Facebook) and found at least nine threads where he felt the need to do a drive-by posting dismissing the site or expressing disdain.  I don't want to assume what that means, so I'll just let everybody draw their own conclusions.

Honestly, this is only true if haing access to java-based apps/games online hasn't been available to a user before.  Most of us who have had access to that stuff for 10+ years before the rise of FB haven't developed any bad habits we didn't already have or weren't aware of.  Most of us know that you don't get distracted and play on your work computer, or at least don't play when you're trying or have to do something else on the computer, lol.  Also facinating to me, with the rise of facebook/twitter users coincides a rise in adult self-diagnosed ADD disorders in the nation.  Internet noobs.  :D

I don't need to see your vacation pictures and I certainly don't need to chat with you about a whole lot of nothing. What a waste of time!

What you described about Facebook is the female aspect of it. For me, it is a networking tool, and a way to keep in contact with relatives and friends. It can also be used to click the "like" button on the HiTech Creations page. Then all my aviation buddies will be like, "hmm? What is that?" *click* "Hmmm, interesting." *click* "Wow! What fun! And realistic too!" *Click* More $$$ for our game. More funding = more features from a primitive perspective.

I actually use FB for a side job I do.  I'm a staff writer for the Lingerie Football League and use FB to get interviews out of the players.  With teams all over the country (and now Canada), FB is better for what I do that regular email is, because it allow me to scout a player before I approach her for an interview.  For one thing, it helps me get some background on who might make a good story, and who is actually literate enough to string proper sentences together!

And to keep this on topic, I just added an LFL gunsite to the AH page. :)

*Old man voice*
Back when I was a younger lad, if I wanted to talk to someone, it was in town at the ol' farmer's market, the barber shop, or the saloon!  Sometimes the occasional letter by Pony express.  All these hipsters were starting to use telegraphs, Telegraphs! **Slaps knee in laughter, then almost coughs up a lung** I almost fall out of my rockin' chair thinkin about the uselessness of sending information in that way.  All those youngsters with their telegraphs ruinin this country I tell ya.  If you want to talk to someone, it should be in person, the trip by horseback is a measure of your commitment my old papa used to say.  Email and phone?  That's straight out of a science fiction novel! **Decrepit cough**

Ahh use a private chat then if you don't want to be in the public. How about trying facebook to chat about... facebook.  :rofl
We get it shuff... you don't like facebook. However, posting ignorance is in no way going to sway responsible users to not use it. So balls in your court continue your ignorance if you want. :aok

My wife will post something about our kids on Facebook (like a couple of photos from an air show we went to last weekend) for her family to enjoy.  It beats e-mailing all of them about it, or calling them all to let them know we went to an air show, or dropping in on her sister in Maine or her other sister in Indiana to tell them about the air show.  Sometimes a couple of photos and a quick comment are all that loved ones need to connect and feel like they're in the loop about what's going on with our family.  It's insane to think that every little event deserves a phone call, but it's perfectly reasonable, IMO, to put that stuff out there for family to enjoy at their own leisure.

It's really as simple as that, despite the over-the-top stuff that folks try to interject in here.  Facebook operates within a greater social context, not outside it.

lol when you fail to have any ability to discuss and fail to name calling, I think you just tagged yourself.


If your in love with facebook to that point fine. I do not care for it. Does not make one better than another. But you do stand out as the type I see flaunting facebook the most and the reason I see so little use in it. All can't be that bad but it is what I see most.

I'll pass on posting anymore so no other facebook type gets their panties in a not.  :rofl

Pfffft, you cheap skate!      Fly the Sister in from Indy, then after that, both of you fly up with your family to Maine...... :headscratch:    Wait.     Have the the sister in Maine ride the train down to Indy, then on to your home....... :headscratch:    Wait.     I got it!

I got it!   Post "said pictures" on your Wall on FB and the "logistical nightmare" is solved!    Damn it, you already did that.

No no no, the obvious thing to do is the print the pictures out for everyone who wants to see them, then mail each a set and ask them to mail back their pictures!

The wrong way to use facebook:  Brash Facebook posts lead to bank heist arrests (http://www.cnn.com/2011/CRIME/04/22/texas.heist.facebook/index.html?hpt=T2)
