Facebook Follies ...



My other blog (among a few) that I post to a lot is Facebook, fondly referred to in this house as Farcebook, Fauxbook and sometimes as Fartbook, which more accurately describes its shenanigans.

My cat Hobbes Fattytail also blogs there, more frequently than me. Hobbie has over 4,000 friends on FB and most of them are, of course, alter egos, just like any of Hobbie's blogs originate.

Although I am his slave typist, I share many of Hobbes' sentiments. One of those has turned sour. Two of his closest cat friends were deleted by FB today because someone reported them. By reporting them, the culprit was just plain being a nasty biotch. She, too, is an alter ego.

So Hobbie is raising cane all the way to the top people on FB tonight. He will undoubtedly get his account deleted too, but that's OK.

I am about to unleash many new members to MyBloggers, if MyBloggers will accept "cats."

Maybe some dogs and bunnies, too.

Who knows.

(Notice that I used the term "unleash.")

Zillah is on the fence--still at FleaBook until they kick me, but using a couple of other sites as "backups." You know I love Hobbsie too much to let him get away, even if he won't use that pesky 's.'

A lot of cats have also migrated to tumblr.com.

Anyway, see you guys around.

I use FB to keep track of family and personal friends but I post very little.

yeah facebook is pretty f---ed up. Some one hacked my email so I had to resort to an alter ego as well. I like it here at MyBloggers better.

I love Facebook. Hope Hobbie stays, and I love the way he defends his friends.

I like my facebook account because my mom, sister, aunts, cousins, kids, family, extended family & friends are all on there. It's so easy to stay connected and find out what's going on with each of us with short statuses & pics etc. But facebook has deleted my accounts twice because of TOO much activity? Crazy

oh I just noticed your profile pic...I had that in a large, large picture...along with a few others in same vein going up my staircase in my one of my previous homes.

Dang trying to think who the others were now, tho.

oh I cackled at the Bushy thing.

Naturally it would never occur to me to read the terms of service at FB, but I'm assuming that the "cat pages" were deleted for being duplicate user pages and not posted content. If this is the case, there are plenty of gamers who have multiple accounts. Sounds like a slippery slope for FB to go down... How will they know when an account is a duplicate and not a different family member using the same computer? Very suspicious behavior on their part.

Zillah is here! Oboy!

Never touch the stuff (FB). Hobbes is always welcome here.

Facebook is too busy for me!!

I agree that lots of infantile people create unnecessary drama, thankfully not on this site. A couple of friends have given my Email to Facebook so that I may join, but I am resisting. I don't need another distraction and this site is enough.

Deleting "cats" from Facebook! If the censors want to deal with some serious posts that need deleting, they should stop by Blogster.
comment by redimpala on Nov 5, 2010 8:24 PM ()
Sounds like some people just can't stand to leave other people (or cats) alone, have to stir things up and create some drama no matter how insignificant the venue in the universal scheme of things.

I don't use 'facebook' - even though 'Lynniesouffle' has asked me to many times. I don't 'trust' the site - heard too many times about 'private details' being made accessible. I'll stick to 'mybloggers' (my 'only' guise now)
I do hope you let us know how you both get on, sounds interesting
comment by febreze on Nov 5, 2010 5:59 PM ()
Oooops - make that 2 guises (I forgot about 'Augusta')
reply by febreze on Nov 6, 2010 7:15 AM ()
Hmmm sounds interesting. I didn't know people could be removed from facebook!
comment by kristilyn3 on Nov 5, 2010 5:52 PM ()
Cats. People too, I suppose, since their typists are all people (LOL)
