my bro used face book to plug his travel website and got a tonne of business from it

but i absolutely hates that social networking nonsense do it at your own time in the office we strictly prohibit it warranting warning letters

there was once we had a two week deadline to do a 30sec animation and the modelling department were spending nearly 3-4 hours a day on that nonsense as soon as they were done with their side of pipeline we got rid of half of the department ........:angery:

I mostly use it to speak to family and friends from back at my home town and university, but I am finding it more and more useful to find out about future games and films.

Marvel vs Capcom, Gears 3 and the saw films kept me updated with what they were doing without bothering me too much (up to me if I want to find out more by going and looking on their wall) or having to go and search for the information. As artiest its great because I saw a lot of W.I.P for the films I chose to "Like" while they were being made - most not shown on the official site. But granted if I searched for it I would have found them - but I would have to make that extra afford instead of just being told. On those same lines I can see the integration working very well for Simplymaya. News of updates or new tutorials will def-o get to a much larger network of people. I can also seeing this as a good thing for the challenges - more entries more fun ...

Facebook has a few bad points but also has a lot of good ones too. I just don`t get twitter or at the time myspace (is that still going ?)

And also if it was not for facebook I would not know a hot female school friend of mine is now a major porn star in Europe - all good user added image

Evgenia Diordiychuk is her name but we used to call her eva. She moved to the UK for about 4 year when me and my sister were younger and living in Cardiff. I think she was from the Ukraine. Her dad ran a chain of hotels. Anyway my sister told me she had added her on facebook and asked me if I remembered her - I did too a point - a couple of days later she added me and I thought I would jog my memory by looking though her profile and thats when I found out her "Star" name - Katie Fey. As you can see she`s now a playmate.

Answer to second question - oooh I so wish....

but what do you say to a porn star you not seen in about 16 years over facebook - Hi hows the job going ???

Why I love facebook. - Always checkout what your old friends are doing - who knows what you`ll find.

Anyone thinking I`m lieing - some of you have me on facebook - check out my friends list - be my guest

I guess we can't really complain when there are solutions:

... and to get this thread back from the brief porn star detour.

ROFL stwert, "mythical farmer" tweets?!

Yeah, I don't do the Facebook, Myspace, Twitter scene, I barely use Skype as it is. Change can be good, I always liked the SM site design, especially compared the sites with the obnoxious, million and one gifs, banners and links. I don't get the appeal of those social sites either but if so many are into them then they can be good for business, /shrug

you always hear about how people are 'addicted' to facebook and twitter and do stupid things like post how they killed someone or how much of an ass their boss is

as someone who was never really a part of society (not really by choice) i don't understand the appeal of it, but you have to admit that the masses use it, it's everywhere now, and you hear a lot of stories about how it's such useful marketing tools. i think jsprogg is right in what he said though. the whole thing where people look at ratings or how many people 'like' something and decide if it's good based on that are just people that you can abuse for their money. easy manipulation. There was some movie that became a flop just because someone started tweeting it was bad (was it Juno?). i don't think anyone actually knew if it was true or not. but it's easy to manipulate the tastes of people and even easier now with facebook and twitter

i had to put some facebook thing into the Anne Geddes iPad app we did a few months ago where users could post that they like a picture in the app.
and i can say i did end up wasting a lot of time trying to get that s*** to work. (although my colleague managed to do twitter in a few minutes because it's easy)
So miss nova when/if you have trouble with facebook and integrating it here you will have my sympathies.

that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"

Computer skills I should have:
Objective C, C#, Java, MEL. Python, C++, XML, JavaScript, XSLT, HTML, SQL, CSS, FXScript, Clips, SOAR, ActionScript, OpenGL, DirectX
Maya, XSI, Photoshop, AfterEffects, Motion, Illustrator, Flash, Swift3D

Well no like buttons all over the place I could not bring myself to do it. Maybe in the future after I've had a few beers.

Yeah, a well chosen compromise. It's there, but not intrusive.

To be honest why bother plugging it on Fakebook -Farcebook or whatever.

The site gets enough coverage without resorting to the social networks.

I did tinker with FB myself but found it pointless. I cant understand the point of groups, for instance theres a muffin group, wtf!! I mean what do you do after that??? Have an annual general meeting discussing muffin toppings and consistency!! Such turd!!

Anyway I need to fart and then go tweet its pungency!!
