PrintFacebook and SE crowd
It seems the Serious Eats crowd is starting to go Facebook. I have found Karen Resta and Adam, Robyn and some of my fav baking bloggers.
Are you there and if you are why can I not find you?

Here I am,
jcrisco at 4:25PM on 04/04/08
I am there, but I am under my real name, so that's probably why I do show up. It's the only group that I belong to, and frankly, I cannto figure the whole thing out enoug to know what to do with it! :)

Hi Jersee! Bisbee is there! a.k.a. JJ Jordan- givin' the sign of metal!
(.. don't worry- I'm not that scary, and don't have "that" hair... that's just a pic of my BF- we were dressed up for 80's nite LOL)
bisbee at 4:40PM on 04/04/08
I'm there!
srhcb at 5:49PM on 04/04/08
Me too!
elizabethw at 6:09PM on 04/04/08
yeah, well, Im in the myspace camp because facebook pisses me off. Any MySpazers out there... ChelleShocked01 is my URL!
ChelleyD01 at 8:12PM on 04/04/08
Well those who know me please add Jerzee Tomato.
JerzeeTomato at 3:04AM on 04/05/08
I was glad to see you there, Jerzee. I joined a few months ago when someone told me a Facebook listing for me was popping up when I was googled but that the actual person was not me but someone else. That sort of freaked me out so I joined, but have never really tried to find people to add (probably because my playtime on the internet is more than used up checking SE heh heh).
So it was a nice surprise. And I agree with you - Nick Maglieri is one of the best guys with flour on his arms that I can think of! :)
Karen Resta at 8:34AM on 04/05/08
Oh Great! Something else for me to learn!! Anyone willing to tell me what the basic instructions are to get started?
crazyspice at 10:25AM on 04/05/08
Wish I could sign-up as "Susquehanna." Facebook tells me I must use my real name . . . and I'd rather not.
Susquehanna at 12:20PM on 04/05/08
Well . . . Susquehanna - somehow I do not think that Jerzee Tomato is the name that Jerzee was born with . . . and my name used is the name (one of the names) that I write under and the name that was my name before marriage when I was an exec chef (which of course makes sense when people want to track back for credentials).
How about Sus Q. Hanna?
Karen Resta at 12:37PM on 04/05/08
I should add that my willingness to suggest this is based on the fact that still (although I've written to Facebook more than once about this) when "Karen Resta" is googled and the Facebook entry clicked onto, I do not show up there but the other Karen Resta does, and my own profile is set to allow public viewing.
It's a subtle mis-direction but one that is disturbing and apparently one that does not matter to Facebook.
The only way to find my profile is to join FB, then it shows up.
Jeez. Not that I care, even. Ha, ha! I didn't even want to join it in the first place and now it has me running around all pissed off! :)
Karen Resta at 12:45PM on 04/05/08
we are both on - under our real names... :-)

Is Facebook more like a real blog than Myspace?
chiff0nade at 1:59PM on 04/05/08
What I like about Facebook is people I know from the cooking and baking community friend you. I am actually (SWOON) on David Lebovitz's friends list. I am so flattered. I know I am a big groupie. All my cookbooks have faces and those faces are on Facebook. How cool is that?

Is Facebook more like a real blog than Myspace?
chiff0nade at 1:59PM on 04/05/08
No, you can do more with MySpace, particularly in term of layout. Facebook is a social networking site, as Jerzee notes above.
Karen Resta at 3:52PM on 04/05/08
@Karen: I think there's an option in the privacy settings that lets you be searched by Google (or other search providers). That option might not be enabled in your case.
deepitbhatia at 9:16PM on 04/05/08
deepitbhatia - there is that option, yes, and it is enabled in my profile there.
I've even re-set it to be sure, several times over the past months.
It really is no big deal. Just a minor internet slightly spooky thing.
My vanity hurts. I want to see my own bad photo in a google search - not a photo of someone else!
Sigh.
Karen Resta at 11:08PM on 04/05/08
What bugs me about myspace and is really the only drawback for me is that you can't point people to a certain blog entry. I have tried several times to e-mail them and ask how I can do that but I get the stock answers and no real help.
i.e. I'd like to point someone to a blog entry called Chiffy's Roasted Carrot Souffle (yes, most entries are food related..surprise!). It's an older entry and those are not easy to find. The best hope you have of someone reading an entry is if it's in the top 5 which appear on the front page, or at least in the first scroll of your blog. Trying to find something older than that is like a needle/haystack situation.

I'm on Facebook (Ginger Carter Miller) and I joined the group. A lot of the time I have pictures of my students in my profile. I'm a college professor.
My profile is set to private, but I welcome new friends! Be sure to mention you're from SE.
GingerCM at 11:20AM on 04/06/08
I'm on facebook: sarahlynnmartin. I love SE, and new friends.
sarahlynn at 7:50PM on 04/06/08
I'm on Facebook: Annie Newman of Annie's New York Eats. I love new foodie friends too. And people with whom I went to high school.

Facebook is for real-life social networking. Please don't make fake accounts with fake names.
Luther at 7:22AM on 04/07/08
If it is for real-life social networking then I wish it worked correctly to display my real profile in search engines rather than someone else's even though my real profile is set to show.
I realize that I am ranting on about this, but if you googled your own name and the Facebook listing kept coming up with a photo of someone else (solely of someone else though the settings had been made to show your real photo) who was about twenty-five years older than you it might perhaps create a twinge of concern.
Not that age or looks matter in social networking.
Or even in real life.

RE: Karen: "a photo of someone else"
I solved this problem pre-emptively by using a photo of someone else to begin with!
This way I was able to appear as someone 15 years younger than me, with more hair, in better condition (a triathlon athlete), and more useful (a plumber)!
srhcb at 8:48AM on 04/07/08
Knowing you as I know you, srhcb, I know what you mean. :)
Going back to Luther's request to the general public to "please" do not make fake accounts all I can say is (as I am actually old enough to have learned this lesson the hard way) the word "please" never stopped anyone will ill or mischievious intent. Policies do not stop anyone will those intents. The only thing that stops people with those intents are really excellently designed procedures put into place that are then consistently used.
I'm not sure that level of procedure has been developed for the web as of this date.
Now I'm off to read some Nora Ephron.
Karen Resta at 8:57AM on 04/07/08
As a side note to this side discussion of real names vs. screen names I remember Michael Ruhlman starting a discussion of this topic on eG some time ago where he came out for the idea of people in food forums being required to use their real names vs. screennames, due to credibility issues (some of which were being raised in the Psaltis' book discussion at the time) of people posting not using real names but nevertheless giving information purported to be "real". I think the topic was removed (as were so many posts at that time) or I would link to it.
Anyway. All being fair in love war and internet-browsing, back to the Facebook/SE crowd. It has seemingly doubled since I first took a look some time ago, so people do love it. :)

I'm there (here?) and just joined SE's facebook group as well. Pteety much the only time I remember to go to Facebook is when I've got a Scrabulous game going, though ;)

I'm on there and so is my blog. I'm also part of the Serious Eats group!

On the plus side, in the past few days I've been (to use the vernacular of my geographic region) blessed to have been be-friended by some very nice people in the SE group on Facebook.
On the minus side, I just got a notification from Facebook that I should change my password as they had discovered an attempt to steal my account.
WTF?
Karen Resta at 3:21PM on 04/08/08
Karen,
How does that old saw go?
He who steals my face steals gold, but he who steals my account gets trash?
srhcb at 8:09PM on 04/11/08
I'm there....part of the SE facebook group too.
