i don't understand why that is annoying at all
it sounds quite handy really

Anybody who can use the search system should be able to find you easy
there's no need for usernames really, if they can't use the search tool they probably shouldn't be using Facebook
( St. Defenestration The REAL one, Tue 9 Jun 2009, 22:59, archived)

not if you don't use your real name for facebook.
and i still don't see why this is annoying.

Why wouldn't you use your real name for Facebook?

( WHARRGARBL, Tue 9 Jun 2009, 23:02, archived)

are you serious?
i can't believe people use their real names on there.
( scott,, Tue 9 Jun 2009, 23:04, archived)

Yeah.
I'm serious.
( WHARRGARBL, Tue 9 Jun 2009, 23:06, archived)

so your real name is Karl Hysteria?

( scott,, Tue 9 Jun 2009, 23:06, archived)

It's something pretty close to that, yes.

( WHARRGARBL, Tue 9 Jun 2009, 23:07, archived)

so that's not your real name then?

( scott,, Tue 9 Jun 2009, 23:07, archived)

No, it's not my real name.

( WHARRGARBL, Tue 9 Jun 2009, 23:10, archived)

I KNOW YOUR REAL NAME.

I'll kill noit if you say it :D

Hehe, I won't.

( Esme Weatherwax I swear on my tash it's daycent hash, Tue 9 Jun 2009, 23:15, archived)

is it Carl Hysteria?

More people know me as NobbyNobody than as Phillip.
The only people who know me as Phillip are people I don't really want to socialise with online anyway.

Although I haven't actually been to facebook for more than a year anyway, so it's all moot.

Facebook is intended for people you know in real life though
people in real life are going to call you Phillip surely?
( St. Defenestration The REAL one, Tue 9 Jun 2009, 23:02, archived)

Apart from work
I don't really know anyone in real life.
( NobbyNobody 21 years a b3tan, Tue 9 Jun 2009, 23:03, archived)

oh

( St. Defenestration The REAL one, Tue 9 Jun 2009, 23:09, archived)

I don't tend to give out my Facebook.
It's more of a "If you know me, come find me" thing. Giving it a username opens it up so more people can track me down. Online.

So just dont accept the friend request
it aint hard
( broadsword, Tue 9 Jun 2009, 23:01, archived)

so don't use the feature then
or make the username something that isn't obvious.
christ.

but Karl prides himself on having matching social networking usernames

( St. Defenestration The REAL one, Tue 9 Jun 2009, 23:03, archived)

Oddly, this.
