Dear John

Dear LiveJournal,

Seein' as it's Valentine's Day and all, I thought I'd come clean with you. I been cheatin' on you with Facebook this week. I'm not askin' for your forgiveness. But maybe next week, we can forget this ever happened.

Yours Truly,
Spanky

p.s. See LJ? I even used your secret name for me. I won't forget you.

there are too many people with your name and I can't find you.

i'm listed as David S. Rose if you can find me.

Weird. I can't find you either. The only David S. Rose I'm turning up is some dude in New York that looks like a lawyer.

Weirder still, I can't even find myself searching. Although, the search does return one person with whom I am friends.

What's your profile number, because I might be able to get you with that.

I just realised: I bet my profile has been removed from searches because of the new privacy settings I've introduced. I felt insecure applying to work at high schools without increasing the privacy on my facebook, and I must have selected to omit myself from search results too.

I think Facebook may have some built in security. I've been told you can't access just anybody's profile. There needs to be some kind of chain of relationships that can be established between yourself and the person you're looking for...either friends of friends, or inside the same network. There should be a way to add people for whom you have AIM contacts. I added a bunch of people like that when I started with Facebook. Try looking for explodingcat as an aim user in the friend finder thing.
