Post by: Nancy on July 24, 2009, 01:05:38 AM
Marie Wallace asked me to let DS fans know that she is on Facebook and plans on posting updates on her activities which includes posting photos from DS fests and other events.  Facebook is free and easy to join.  Check out Marie's page at the link below and request to be her friend.  Mention Dark Shadows in your personal message!

I'm off to do that now, where I operate under the name of "Magnus Greel".  Thanks, Nancy!

I gave a lot of thought about possibly joining Facebook a while ago, but finally decided against it. I know there would be a some advantages, such as the opportunity to connect more with people with similar interests, as you your post reminds me, Nancy. But personally I am more concerned with privacy issues and would probably find a personal webpage better suited me. Best wishes to Marie, though! She's a class act!

You can control how much information you want to put on your webpage on Facebook.

Yeah.  Everyone but me seems to use real names and photos-- that's because it started as a dating site.  You don't have to though.   A friend of mine used a chimp's photo for his for awhile.

I'm thinking about taking a big break from Facebook.   Now I'm being notified of every move everyone makes on a million games I can't and don't want to participate in.   I overloaded on the happy "fun" just now and had to bail out.   I feel like I'm surrounded by a hundred screaming kids jumping up and down, when I need a simple quieter experience.   My poor damaged nervous system overloads easily.

Magnus, you can "hide" applications, etc. if you want.

I also got tired of the applications, and I just hit "ignore" on them and they magically go away!
I am on under "Ginger Chapman" and would welcome DS fans-just be sure to put DS in the request so I know!

Thank you Nancy!   And I'm off to track down G Chapman on Facebook... and not Graham Chapman... any relation?

I wish I understood what the word "applications" actually means... I'm hitting "hide" next to each game, that helps.   Which Ginger Chapman are you, Ginger Chapman?   There are 2 1/2 pages of them....

I am the one in Portland, OR. Magnus. (And there are 3 of you listed-which one are you?)

Then a 3rd has just joined... there was 1 other before with a Family Guy avatar.   I'm the one who really has a picture of Magnus Greel... a half-melted face... it's a Doctor Who villain (from real Dr Who, not what they're showing lately).   Under the face my "signature" is (for some reason) "I occupy space.  I exist physically."   Well, it's tough to sum up your existence in one sentence....

I want more contact with cool people, but I'm warning the world... I play no games!

That's too bad that only two of the Dark Shadows actors are on Facebook. [sadg] Maybe they are afraid of being inundated with "friend" requests. [ghost_shocked] By the way, my name on Facebook is Sally Freedlund. [ghost_wink]

Wasn't it just Bill Gates who canceled his facebook profile because he got overwhelmed by friends requests?  If it wasn't him, it was some big name; it was on the news maybe earlier this week or at the end of last week.

One of the problems celebrities have either hosting their own website (such as JF) or having facebook pages is that many fans expect an answer to their post or email privately or publicly.  When that doesn't happen, fans have been known to get hostile about it.  Sometimes it's just easier not to get involved.

I'm surprised any famous people go on Facebook at all.   It's no different from going on message boards, which they don't do, except those would be easier.   No "friend requests", you just drop in to say something if you feel like it, and people answer if they feel like it.

False intimacy can be hard on a person.   It's like being alone in a crowd.
