Title: Scarecrows Smith is on Facebook - will you be his friend?
Post by: Squash64 on March 19, 2010, 22:04:26
At the risk of boring you all senseless, Scarecrows Smith is on Facebook now and he needs some friends.  Just put Scarecrows Smith in the search box and he'll come up.

I had a lot of fun writing his profile...... ;)

Oh that's disappointing, he is always on about his family and he would have loved to hear from you.  Can't you join Facebook just for him?

Scarecrows Smith is delighted that so many of you have become his friends.  He doesn't know who most of you are, but I've told him you are a nice friendly bunch and are all interested in reading seed catalogues like he is.

With my own Facebook account, all my friends are people I actually know but with Scarecrows Smith I am inviting friends of friends to be his friend.  I know it's a bit mad, and that I should get a life, but who cares..... ;D ;D

Twitter is the latest craze.  I think it is a sort of micro blog.   Its the latest thing young people do.  They do on line on their mobile phones and do it.    Hopefully there is someone more switched on who can give you a better description.

The uni one is Grandad, he is in the photo album on Scarecrows Smith's Facebook.
Dunno about twittering, SS has only just learned how to use the computer so he's taking things a bit at a time.

There are pretty good descriptions on the urban dictionary site.

Thank you.. I don't currently have a cell(mobile)phone. I brought 2 with me thinking I could just get a couple of Sims cards but it doesn't work like that here. You cannot just buy them apparently. I had both of mine unlocked and cancelled the contracts on them so they were both pay as you go when I came, they still have money on them. Don't know what to do with them now. I object to buying time in advance that doesn't carry over like it does in the UK, so I haven't got them yet.
If I use the UK Sims cards it costs a fortune especially as here I pay to phone and the receiver pays to receive.

So I guess Twitter is something I needn't worry about.

Sorry to be off topic but, Jeannine, twitter is internet based so you can do it on your pc/mac/laptop too.
