OT: Mastering Facebook
Is it just me?? I am having a really hard time figuring out how to navigate Facebook and make it work for me. Haven't felt this stupid since I first got a computer in 2001. 
I know grandparents who are on facebook....surely I can do this!
I really like this type of forum better.
Just breathe.<big sigh>

Hey, hey. I'm a grandparent. 
LOL. Yes, I'm on Facebook. Do I like it? No. But it keeps me in daily touch with good people.

Oh, that was a complement to them, not an astonishing fact, that line about Grandparents.
Good! Glad I'm not the only member who doesn't care for the fact they are a member.LOL!! I'm sure it will grow on me, but at the moment its just frustrating.

I'm a grandparent...and I liked FB a lot better before Timeline. Now, it's just confusing to do anything on my page. 
My mother, however, who is a great-grand-parent, can use it just fine. This is the same woman who wouldn't let me install a chat client on her computer for the LONGEST time because she was positive that hackers would get into her computer and steal all of the money out of her bank account, no matter HOW many times I told her, "Mom! You don't bank online. The only things hackers could get to on YOUR computer are pictures of your grandchildren and your quilt patterns!"... THIS woman can navigate FB JUST FINE, while I, the former database programmer, pull out my hair.
Yeah, I hate Facebook. I'm on it anyway. Everyone PLEASE join Google Plus, it is a LOT easier to use!

I'm so lame that I have never heard of Google plus. I hate Facebook. I've been trying to remember my password so I can vote for our goatie celebrity. BIG. FAT. FAIL. Dh is supposed to help me. I'm sure he'll get around to it about the time the contest ends. I suck

Lots of people haven't heard about it, andabigmac. It was just released this year, and is mainly linked to g-mail and g-chat, which are e-mail and chat client services Google offers. Google Plus is a lot like Facebook BEFORE FB tried to get all fancy, but it does have some innovative features. Like "Circles" which allows you to place your contacts in different circles and change what each circle sees. FB copied a bit of that with the "Favorites" feature they added...roughly 3 months after Google Plus went live.
I expect it to take off eventually. It took a while for Facebook to take off, especially since everyone was already using MySpace for the same purpose.

The only reason I have an active Facebook page is because Storey insisted. I signed up about 2 years ago and was quickly so befuddled that I gave up.
Then a friend put up the Classic Cheviots page late last year and wanted me to co-moderate. I didn't want to do the whole Facebook experience, so I signed up as Maggie Sayer (my pen name) so that only a few people knew I was there (the Friends feature couldn't find me). This I recommend. By using a pseudonym you can Friend the people you really want to stay in touch with and things stay relatively simple.
But Storey kept urging me to put up a public page linked to my writing stuff, so I finally gave in. If it weren't for my friend with Classic Cheviots (Margot Alice) and my daughter, I would still be spinning my wheels. I still don't know the nuances but am slowly figuring things out.
My complaint is that they don't have a Help manual downloadable as a PDF that could be printed and used as a guide when problems arise. Their online Help feature is hopeless!
So don't feel badly if you're bewildered by Facebook. A lot of other users are in the same camp, including me.

Me too! But I like it because I can see my grandbaby girl grow up on a daily basis. I don't know how Grand parents could stand it before! (think new kid pictures here, how we all go bananas!  )
I don't try to navigate anything though I just stay on the current home page thingy.
