Facebook?

[tom4bren]

So many potential responses to that ... & none of them below the 'family oriented' threshold.

Tempting but ...

I have no response to that.

Let's take it to facebook then! PM works too...

I just joined the "Vehicross....tuff" group. Had the most people.

Been on facebook for a while now. Caved in to pressure from family & friends. No big deal, but a nice way to stay in touch with people. I am on VX.info way more often.

I too lurk on Facebook (Doug Wekell) pretty easy to find.

John Robert Harris II - I will just slowly add everyone as a friend from the larger of the groups (the one with littlebeasts pic).

I had never been on FaceBook until I read this specific thread. My curiousity peaked. So, I went on the FaceBook website-- logged-in and created a profile of myself.

Then; I found a few old classmates of mine from High School & College, so I sent a few people a quick "hello, it's me" message along with my direct computer E-Mail address within my message(s). I expected to get a reply from at least one person in my regular computer E-Mail inbox within a brief time period; but nothing.

Puzzled by the no response, I decided to send myself a FaceBook message as a communication-link test-run. Well; I got my own test message in my own FaceBook inbox, but did not receive any tickler notification in my regular computer E-Mail inbox. Disturbed, I then queried the FAQ section of FaceBook and painfully discovered that when a message is sent to a friend it is only delivered in their FaceBook inbox without any tickler notification to a person's regular computer E-Mail inbox.

This fact really pisses me off!!! Who knows when a person is gonna' happen to log-in to their FaceBook account again; it could be tomorrow, or 3 frickin' years from now or maybe even never!!!

Case & Point: Here on Vehicross.Info, when someone PM's you, then you get a tickler notification (actually, a duplicate of the complete PM message) sent to your regular computer E-Mail inbox. It's not required to actually log back in to the Vehicross.Info site in order to just read the original PM message. I truly wish FaceBook would send a tickler notification to the recipients regular computer E-Mail inbox at least saying "Hey, you have a new FaceBook message within your account". Without this regular computer E-Mail tickler notification, messages within FaceBook can become dormant for years until the recipient happens to login next time (if ever). In this regard, FaceBook is a P.O.S.!!!

You can turn on the tickler - it's disabled as a setting by default after getting feedback from users.

Thanx a million, John. I'll go back to the FaceBook website and see if I can find the feature, and then re-activate it. Afterwhich, I'll then do a self-test again and see if I'm notified in my own regular computer E-Mail inbox (I hope).

John beat me to it.....Every thing any one of your contacts types, is e-mailed to you. I had to set up a seperate e-mail, for that purpose

I use it too ... have a few VX owners on my list. But the funny thing is, I dont know who they are compared to their user name here :P

[alanpike]

I like Facebook I find a few old ghosts every week ....makes the world smaller.

"I just went and pee'd":

ROFL. Some folks even take pix (gotta look at the photo title).

Edit:

Oops. It would help if I included the link to the photo. Sorry.

Gussie2000--- It's super easy to specifically request certain friends on FACEBOOK that are also members here on Vehicross.Info.

All you have to do is look at a VX member's profile on this blog/forum and find out their exact "E-Mail Address". Then, re-visit FACEBOOK and do a search for that exact "E-Mail Address". If the VX member is also on FACEBOOK, his/her name will pop-up from the "E-Mail Address" search.

Afterwhich, you simply send a request to be friends (along with a Message in the request that you're part of the VX blog/forum gang, so you don't frighten them).
