Facebook Application Questions

Published by grandy at 9:16 pm under Personal Edit This

If you read my other blog at all, you know I’m new to Facebook.  I signed up about a month or so ago. 

It is so very cool to connect with friends from all aspects of my life. 

The thing I don’t understand is what the heck I’m supposed to do with all these application thingys?  The messages you get that say, “Denise has thrown beads at you.  Throw back!” or “Stephanie has shot you in the butt with a water pistol.  Wanna shoot back?”

Why would I want to engage all these people in a cyber water fight?  Or even send out other spam for that matter?  I don’t mind “Giving chocolate back” but what is the point of all these little things?  Is it just that it give people a chance to play cyber “tag” with their long lost friends? 

There are Pet Society invites, Food Fight requests, Water Fight challenges, A Kidnap request, and all sorts of other stuff.  What’s the point of it all?

Do you play these?  Anybody?

    Dory~ I can see where you would like the flair. Those are cute. But I don’t know what you’re supposed to do with them when they come my way.

    Jen~ Someday, wouldn’t it be cool if we could down some drinks in person?

    Matt~ Thanks to you, my fine bloggy friend, I have “ignored” all of them.
