WARNING - this post is long...

I really don't know what to be doing right now. I haven't done a proper post in a ages. Just linked you to a video which you must have seen a thousand times before...

But of course, this couldn't go on forever... so I'm somehow try to mug up a proper , readable post. I know you don't want to wait here too long.

I know what you think - leave a comment and dash off... This MelRoXx ought to leave me a comment back... talk about blog love! Don't worry - I will.

I certainly ought to- I'll never forget the basic blogging manners no matter how busy I am! but I certainly won't entertain spam.

I hope I didn't bore you brains out yet- you know how long this post is. don't worry I'm going to go on for long so go right now if you don't want to waste time - I don't blame you.

I've been wasting a lot of time on online facebook games. Yesterday, facebook was so slow, I couldn't do anything on it. There was a "spam" "tagging" thing on it too- not helpful at all.

I was tagged in something called - "The Sims" I clicked on the notification and, Suddenly it started posting on my fb wall saying I had tagged friends on "The Sims" I was terrified - I deleted all this applications wall posts. And called my friend, who had complained about the same problem.

In the end, we came to the conclusion, that if you get such a notification, it is better not to click on it. It might start posting spam in your name, and that can be a bit of a nuisance.

There are many factors that attract me to facebook, but this certainly was not one of them . This totally put me off. But somehow I managed to visit my li'l pet Sammy in the worlds most fashionable petting zoo - Petville! It was hungry, an needed a wash :) It is one of the most addictive game on fb.

BTW, what do you like better - Petville or Pet Society?

I would certainly like an explanation for this. Most facebook applications take permission before posting something on your wall, but this message didn't appear with 'The Sims'. (I heard that 'The Sims' is a good game, but its not on fb. only fan pages. :P) I wasn't the only one who experienced this problem. around 50 other friends did as well! Do have a link to share? Please do!

Anyway... I think I'll do a proper post tomorrow :P so not up to it!

Thanks for bearing with me...

Drop by here... its got a better post...

  4. I'm not real crazy about Facebook and so I spend very little time there. As for running out of things to say in a blog post.. I so get that. That's when photos come in handy. :)

  8. I only use Facebook for catching up with friends and family. I never click on applications, and it might appear a bit rude, but I don't acknowledge "gifts" sent to me..I just click the ignore button. The problem is that as you found...one click and all sorts of things can happen.

    Nice to see you back posting...even if you have put off your "long" post for another time! xxx

  9. Ayak - I have to ignore many requests on fb as well... unwanted applications lead to useless addictions...

  21. Facebook is handy for keeping in touch, but honestly, all the games and apps just annoy me. I tend to block most of them!

  22. I do like FB as a way of keeping up with people and I do like Farmville, no idea why it is just addictive and cafe society, maybe it is the opportunity to live a life that isn't mine!
