Around SBN: Jerry Sandusky's Wife Tries To Run A Reporter Over

Indians on Facebook

Star-divide

In general, I get a huge kick out of finding famous athletes on Facebook and friending them.  I haven't been terribly successful with it, but I have managed to friend Amobi Okoye (Houston Texans DT) and Chuck Lofgren.  Pretty sad and fanboy-ish, I know, but I think it's kind of a fun perspective to get on people who you normally only hear about in scouting reports or game write-ups.   

Anyways, I'm wondering: which, if any, Indians/Bisons/Aeros/K-Tribe/whatever players have you found on Facebook and friended?  Any interesting results?  In fact, I'll broaden my query to include MySpace as well, because I know some of you are 30 year old creepy townies and thus only function on MySpace.  Also, I am friends with Leigh Bodden on there (who else knew he read Nietzsche?)

oh yeah, there’s a ton of Aeros players on there. I just was wondering if anyone else did this sort of thing, and whether they found it as entertaining as I do.

Text messaging is actually quite useful. It’s a good way to send someone a quick message if you don’t want to call them. A guy I teach with (who’s 50) text back and forth during every Browns game, and many Cavs games, so it’s not just for young kids. Of course, I don’t text near as often as most teenagers.

Social websites I know nothing about, however.

Before I shelled out the $ for unlimited text on my son’s phone, I had to pay for him to get a text from his friend that said, “Yo, call me.”. Uhm, Voicemail anyone?

Still, this post makes me wonder who Chuck may friend on one of those sites…

I haven’t even glanced at Twitter yet so I don’t want to cast judgment, but what the hell is the reason to like it? I just don’t get it. Status updates are the second worst part of Facebook to me (next to the apps) and basically this is a program that features only status updates?

Steel Nick

Let’s just face it, anything communication related has a valuable use. I bet you a Sugardale that if you used Twitter for a few weeks you’d keep using it and discover its utility. I stayed away from Facebook on the same premise you’ve got here and now that I’m on I discovered what I’m missing. Not anything earth-shattering but it makes keeping up with my diaspora of friends quite easy compared with managing an address book inside of Gmail or something. I’d imagine the same is true for Twitter but I haven’t experienced it yet.

by NickFantana on Feb 3, 2009 10:44 PM EST up reply actions  

I disagree. I love facebook, and I’m a status update junkie. Twitter serves no function that isn’t completely superfluous and can’t be done just as well by any other service. It’s just the new fad.

by Turkmenbashi on Feb 4, 2009 6:00 PM EST up reply actions  

Despite Twitter’s “what are you doing right now?” plastered on the main page, very few people actually use it for status updates. It’s more a tool for instant communication, or blogging in short bursts, or any number of other things. Not for everyone, but it has its uses – I had a problem with Comcast customer service that numerous calls and e-mails could not resolve. One message to the Comcast Cares twitter account, and all was well.

by FredOx on Feb 4, 2009 3:47 PM EST up reply actions  

I think text messaging is sometimes useful for things like coordinating plans or asking quick questions, in situations where one or more parties doesn’t have access to e-mail and it’s not urgent enough to interrupt people with a phone call. But I don’t really understand it when people have an in depth conversation with one other person by texting back and forth for several iterations. Seems like then it would be a lot more efficient to just call.

In any case the amount that cell phone companies charge for texting is information superhighway robbery, considering the tiny amount of data actually involved. The cost to them per message can’t possibly be more than a tiny fraction of a cent if it’s anything at all, yet they charge you 10c or more if you don’t have a texting plan, and in fact they get twice that if both the sender and receiver are charged. To call it a 10,000% markup is probably conservative. I pay a quarter of that with my 200 messages/month for $5, but that’s still pretty steep, considering the cost to the carrier.

I’m with you 100% on the first paragraph. I text. A lot. Always quick and to the point, either for something I don’t expect a response to (“be there in 10”) or that only requires a short answer. My girlfriend, on the other hand, likes to have entire conversations via text. When she’s at work between 8-4, I get it. I don’t complain. But I get very annoyed when it continues when she’s available to talk. I just don’t understand.

by nickjs21 on Feb 2, 2009 7:41 PM EST up reply actions  

To me, the text message is a courtesy from sender to recipient. Compared to voicemail, it takes more effort to send and less effort to receive. If you’re tired of the girlfriend’s texting, just respond to her texts with a phone call, and if she doesn’t answer, leave your response on voicemail.

by Jay on Feb 2, 2009 10:30 PM EST up reply actions  

Oh I do.

Bonus pet peeve: When she or anyone else sees they have a voicemail from me and calls me back without listening to it. I already told you what I needed to say in the voicemail, you’re just making me repeat myself.

I have to admit, I do that sometimes. I intend it as a gesture that I was so eager to get back to you, I didn’t want to take the time to listen to your message first.

I have a bad habit of doing this as well, and when I do listen to voicemail it seems so painfully slow. Suddenly, knowing that you can’t respond to a comment makes a monologue drag on and on. I find myself deleting voice mails the second I get the jist, if I even listen to them at all.

Basically, it imports your google contacts, then you can specificy interactions for all your friends. For instance, with NickFantana calls me, it says, “Hey Nick, why the hell are you calling me? Send me a Text, jerkoff.” then it hangs up on him. It’s great.

Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in ‘83, I think they really came into their own, commercial and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He’s been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far much more bitter, cynical sense of humour.

Signature to be named later.

by emd2k3 on Feb 3, 2009 11:54 AM EST up reply actions  

Mostly Blackberry Pearl models, but some other brands have licensed it, mostly on Blackberry.

The key identifier is that it’s a standard phone key layout — three columns, four rows — flanked by one additional column of buttons on both the left and right, for a total of five columns, four rows. The result is that the phone keys are fairly normal-sized and not hard to press, as opposed to the mini-qwerty approach, but most keys represent only two letters and some only one — rather than 3 or 4. That basic difference exponentially improves the hit-rate of predictive texting, and even when it gets something wrong, it’s very easy to fix. And the Pearls also learn your proper nouns very well. For that matter, even in multitouch mode, it ends up a lot faster.
