AnimeNation Facebook?

[VidelCoolGirl]

Who on here is actually a member? There are like 15 people who are members, but I always assumed that there would be a lot more than that. Or is it really just for the T-shirt?

[DavenIII]

I didn't know there was one, I never really use my facebook account anymore but if you want I suppose I can get around to signing up....if I can remember how to do that kind of stuff.

[VidelCoolGirl]

No, I'm just asking who's a member. I signed up a while ago, and expected it to have a bigger fanbase than 15 people. I didn't even create the community.

[Woooh]

The 2 AnimeNation clubs I saw when I searched AnimeNation had 5 members and 6 members, and neither of them seemed to be related to this website, so I didn't join them.

[Magami No ER]

I wasn't aware of this....*runs*
Don't know if I'll join though, I mainly use it to keep in contact with RL friends/peers/college, and only want those seeing what I have on there...(nothing TOO risque, just me and a Toucan. =p)

[Lord Timaeus]

I don't even go onto Facebook Classic anymore. I'm simply not into such an online environment without any real topic.

[Fobb]

A link would be nice

[germanturkey]

what t-shirt

[Naraku]

Facebook is overrated. All I really have on there is friends from high school that I don't even talk with anymore.

[Soluzar]

I never signed up on Facebook. I have a lot of friends who use the site, but I'm not much for social networking. I just don't use things like that, because email and occasional AIM are quite sufficient.

yeah I didn't sign up for it either, until I found out that my friends had made a site for me on Myspace and Facebook already....with all sorts of made up information :P, it was actually really funny so I left it like that for awhile but then took it over eventually.

[Haro!]

I just recently started using Facebook again (even though I am against Facebook, Faceberg and social networking as a whole) because I'm trying to use a contact I have there to hopefully score an interesting job.

[The Million Dollar Prons]

I use myspace. Sorry.

[Fobb]

I use myspace. Sorry.

Apology accepted. I do myspace also. I remember there was an AN group really briefly.

My sentiments exactly. My gf kinda talked me into making a Facebook, and I used it for about a week, waiting the entire time for it to be as fun as everyone said.

It sucked. I kept getting retarded quizzes from the five contacts I had on there, such as "Lolz this pursun iz tryin to by u see how much ur wrth!!!111!!11shift+1" Needless to say, I don't go there anymore.

Facebook, like Myspace, needs to be tortured horribly until dead. ;)

[Scandiadream]

I am a member of both MySpace and Facebook. I did not know about an AN group till now.

[ryushe]

I use myspace. Sorry.
Yes you are.



I'm not finding it. Link please.

[Mikosage]

What I never understood was the point of social networking. Just call the people on the friggin phone! Email them! Or (holy freakin crap, Batman) HANG OUT IN PERSON!!!

A scary notion to some people, but it's for your own good. :naughty:

PS: My PC works again! Yay!

There's nothing wrong with it in moderation, used appropriately, it serves a purpose, its a place where people can see whats going on in you're life and show their friends to other friends...aka "I know this guy you'll really like let me show you his myspace" etc etc

also its nice to be able to throw you're pictures up in a central place, and tell people, hey go look at my Myspace page its got pics from my last vacation and such.

whats stupid is the people who have 10000000!!!@#!@#%$!$@#%.... Friends 90% of them they don't know anything about.

[Leader Desslock]

I don't belong to any social networking sites, because I'm not social and I don't network.

I'm just the crazy old guy who liives on the corner, sitting on his porch, yelling at those damn kids to get off his lawn.

do you sit with a shotgun in you're hand ... Please tell me you do even if you don't (and also consult AnimeMatt on getting one...it really fills out the old man sitting on the porch look)

Holy crap, Desslock! I have a picture of you on my PC!

I mean honestly, what are the odds?

[Ken-Ohki]

What's facebook like? Is it some preteen friend channel or something? I don't know.

[Mr March]

It's the latest technology for maintaining all your dead relationships on life support :)

[Soluzar]

Myspace without the bad music and emo overtones.

[Rain]

Facebook is the new MySpace.

The only application that I like is the "Make A Baby" application. :lol:

[Hara!]

I love the applications that allow you to legally hit on underage girls. It's just so funny when one of your friends gets a middle-aged stalker.

[Mazinkaiser]

I use it, since most of my high school friends are spread all over the world.

[Spadesy]

I beg to differ, Facebook has too many bells and whistles to be user-friendly. ;) But I admit, the SuperPoke application is my favorite...many a time I have "taken sexy back" or "used the force" on my friends.

[Mikosage]

What really annoyed me about FB was the stupid quizzes where you had to send it to X amount of people to see the result. I only had FIVE FRIENDS.

Gah, that was aggrivating!

[Spike]

Didn't know we had a group on facebook or else I would join. Could someone who is official on the animenation site make one if they have facebook and put like Official Animenation group and I will join. Just be cool to join it.

It's a social networking for people you don't normally hang out with... I got two jobs thru Facebook... A horror movie gig as a Set Dec Assistant and an illustrator for T-Shirt designs... It's much more casual than email and much more convenient than talking on the phone...

[Mikosage]

It's much more casual than email and much more convenient than talking on the phone...

More casual than email? Nah. Not when you could potentially sit in your underwear and send an email message to someone while sipping a Corona, as opposed to Facebook where despite the "No pleeze don let peeps see mi stuffs unless they r mi frendz" options there are moderators who can and will check your messages out every so often.

And as for convienience, I really fail to see how sending a message that a person may or may not recieve for several days or more depending on their access to the web and free time is more convienient than punching in seven digits and wating twenty seconds for them to say "Hello?".

Even if you have to leave a voicemail, at least the ball's in their court, you know? They don't have an excuse of, "Oh, my internet was down, sorry." or some other lame *** cop out because they were too lazy to turn of MTV and have a legitimate conversation with another human being.

Social Networking is like my friend Dan: He has good intentions, but is pretty useless to society.

It's more casual in approaching people in your network you don't normally hang out with!... Do you get emails from people you don't hang out with asking you about your work?... You go, "WTF?... Why?"... In Facebook, I just got approached by "Do you have any larger version of your artworks I can see?"... As I have artworks posted in my Facebook... I also have still photographies off the movie shoots I've done so far as well... Many many people (crew and actors) I worked with on set want me to send them the pics through Facebook... And in the movie business, networking play a BIIIIG DEAL!...

And it's very convenient to think and choose the words you want to express through writing than through talking to them on-the-spot/impromtu... Beats having to have an akward conversation with people you don't normally talk to but want to do business with... And with the casual approach it has than email (where it's more and more becoming formal in writing with a greeting, heading, and closing), you can just go--"Hey man, are you busy this weekend"?... Just like that--easy, concise, and no obligation to be formal in return...

We then turn to lengthy emails and phone calls for actual formal meetings and whatnot...

Look, I'm not saying Facebook works for everybody, but to those who does and knows how to utilize it, it's very useful...

I know I came off a little harsh before. It wasn't my intention to out and out destroy FB in this conversation. I guess I never thought about it a certain way.

I agree with your opinion on the play thing. Yes, if you have a common function going on, it could be useful as sort of a newsletter or something to keep everyone up to speed and on the same page. Indeed, more power to ya if that's what you choose.

However...what I don't agree with is the type of situation where a person uses a Social Network to contact everyone about everything. You know, as if it were their own little command center or something. I think that it should be used as a group organizational tool, not an address book. Society is getting a little carried away with it from what I can see. All I ever hear from peers, bosses, even parents of my friends is "Well Myspace this" and "Facebook that."

I don't know why it bothers me, really. It just does. I think I'm just tired of hearing about it, you know? I live in a small town, and when something gets popular, everyone drives it into the ground REALLY quick.

Again, I apologize if I came off kind of blunt in my previous post. I didn't mean to sound like such a condescending ***.

Preconceived notions and social stereotypes are lame. Contrary to what you believe, social networking is not ''useless,'' it's useful because connections, more often than not, are beneficial to the individual in some way or other. Take work connections for example.

[sasami-riyo]

I'm on facebook. It's so-so. I'm more preferable to myspace, personally. E-mails are better than both though, honestly.

[Ketaru]

I'm on Facebook. Never been a fan of the whole "Applications" thing though. I have 2. One is a Final Fantasy XI profile that does nothing but advertises what nerd I am (it hasn't even been updated to include Scholar and Dancer jobs). The other is a list of CDs I own...which also does nothing but advertises what a nerd I am since it has all: Disney movie soundtracks, action movie soundtracks, video game soundtracks, anime soundtracks. But at least I look at it whenever I go on Facebook and can think to myself "What a f***ing nerd I am!"

I've used it maybe twice for legitimate retrieval of information, usually when I have to make phone calls to important club leaders. But I'd say I do that maybe once a year. It has also been an opportunity for people to send me Friend Invites, from people from high school, who I haven't talked to since they sent me the invite.

[Jia]

I have never understood what was so great about facebook - I like myspace a lot better. It's a good way to see my family overseas.

I never really thought about social networking that way. I guess it is possible to make it useful, but sadly the majority of people using it make it seem useless.

[MirKz]

Facebook recently ticked me off, I was having a private message conversation with a good friend of mine when I was warned that I was sending too many msgs and needed to slow down or I would be blocked temporarily.. I thought this was odd considering I wasn't spamming, so I continued, sure enough within an hour or so... blocked.. reason being "This site isn't a chat channel" or there abouts... I was quite ticked off that the only means of talking to my good friend whilst I'm away for work had been cut off.. luckily she remembered my email and we continued on in there.

[Ketaru]

Haha, wha? Did they really do that?

[shinri]

I've been on FB for almost a year now. I'm certainly not glued to the thing like some of my co-workers, but it's useful for things like sharing pictures, sending casual messages like a quick "how ya doing?" and for also sending out event notices for parties etc. When I have my housewarming bash later on this summer, this will come in handy.

[Caine]

It has its uses, very few of which involve applications.
Its nice for parties (I just graduated HS, and there are a few people who are using FB to get out word of their parties)
I also like it because I'm going away to college (moving to the West Coast) and its a nice way to talk to some of the people I'll be going to school with.

[SapphireDream]

i have both myspace and facebook, but dont use either much. dont have the time and patience to put up with the friends on either of them. its just to let pplz know that i'm still breathing.
