and not as a tool to spread the word amongst our friends and fofs about how great Mumsnet is (like what hq surely intended)?

ChickensHaveNoLips · 09/07/2012 14:20

I have. I link the comedy threads. Only strange folk link sensitive or bun fighty threads

ShirleyKnot · 09/07/2012 14:21

Oh man, chickens! I would LOVE to be your FB friend. I'm brilliant on FB - really, really funny and shit.

She thinks she is.

YABU to think that you know what it is used for unless you are MNHQ and you have spied on all the subsequent conversations.

Professional gossips don't need it anyway.

ChickensHaveNoLips · 09/07/2012 14:26

Are you all real people, then? Because that ruins my whole 'Justine is actually everyone but especially MmeLindt' theory :(

ShirleyKnot · 09/07/2012 14:35

Chickens - a space has become unexpectedly free.

ChickensHaveNoLips · 09/07/2012 14:38

But I'm me on FB. Like, the real me. This is my Superman persona, and on FB I'm Clark Kent. My MIL stalks talks to me on FB. Although, Shirl, there are some friends of mine who you would get on with like a house on fire. As in, cities would buuuuurrnnnnnn....

ShirleyKnot · 09/07/2012 14:39

I'm the real me on FB as well.

I'm actually LIKE THIS IN RL.

ChickensHaveNoLips · 09/07/2012 14:43

Please tell me your real name is Shirley. I...I don't think I could ever call you anything else :( . See that? > That's my illusions being shattered.

ShirleyKnot · 09/07/2012 14:44

Of course it is.

ChickensHaveNoLips · 09/07/2012 14:47

You have mail, Shirl

ChickensHaveNoLips · 09/07/2012 14:48

Oh. No you don't. Why can't I message you? The page just jumps to the top

ShirleyKnot · 09/07/2012 14:49

Tsc, I've been tempted to link to a rant about my horrible sister but chickened out. I am a loser.

MmeLindor. · 09/07/2012 15:21

I am Justine an alternative me on FB. But more me than the real me can be cause I don't have all my relatives stalking me on my alternative me account. Hardly ever post on my RL facebook now.

And yes, I use the FB button and the Twitter one but only to share funny or silly threads.

Or lovely threads about how nice everyone is.

People have always shared threads, only difference is that we can now see how often it has been shared.

And now you lot broke MN by over using the FB share button.

MmeLindor. · 09/07/2012 15:22

The FB button is not working now.

I was going to share this thread.

It is ALL YOUR FAULT, Mintyy.
