I joined the dark side.
That thing could eat up the entire rest of my life. Fortunately, I tend to lose interest in between clicking on something and seeing the results.* This allows me to continue to do homework.
Now I think I need the basic two-minute tutorial. Rob's been over the initial setup with me, which is good, or my e-mail inbox would be dead. But I don't really know how to use anything yet.
- When somebody does a "wall-to-wall" at you, how do you reply to their comment?
- What in blazes do you do with "gifts" (not!) of "things" (virtual) that want you to enable some app and donate even more of your time? Is ignoring these considered rude?
- When someone you do not recognize at all asks to friend you, what is the socially acceptable way to say "I haven't the foggiest who you are"?

If someone asks to friend me and I know them and don't want to friend them, I ignore the request.
If I don't recognize a person who's requesting to friend me, I ask them where I know them from and apologize for not putting together names and faces very well sometimes.
If it turns out they are a friend of a friend or some other connection where I don't actually know them, I explain my policy of only friending actual friends and tell them it's not personal to them.
