Not being allowed to post on my own wall!

I am so glad you posted this. People writing on their own walls annoys me. Mainly because no one did that when Facebook first came to my school (back when it was still only open to colleges) - we all knew the wall was for others to write on. For some reason, new Facebook users just don’t get it.

I wish the default action would be Wall-to-Wall…alas…it’s left up to the user to actually READ… and we all know how that’s gonna end up.

One thing that bugs me multiple requests to Causes and Applications. Hello…If I turned you down on Vampire Bites once…it’s gonna happen again…and again… give it up… and don’t get pissy with me about it. It’s not a reflection on you…I’m not into all the novelty apps on Facebook.

I’ll take a SuperPoke anyday from you!

Hear, hear!! Well done on alerting the newbies about Wall-to-Wall - it’s kind of a duh, but I suppose some folks don’t quite understand it.

And poking?! Euch! I have a zero-tolerance poking policy. LOL

I’d say my own pet peeve is frivolous app invitations, especially from people I don’t know personally. (Ok, it’s my own damn fault for adding them as friends).

I’m getting pretty peevish about all these spammy messages that keep getting put on my Funwall. You know the kind, just like the emails that say “forward this to everyone you know!” I can’t figure out how to tell people not to do that without offending them, so I just remove the offending posts right away.

If they’re really your friend, they’ll check your profile daily for updates. JK.

Sometimes I write responses on my own wall if I think the general public would be interested in the answer (how presumptuous is that?) You can copy and paste onto your friend’s wall AND your wall, yeah?

Setting that kind of policy sounds like social formating.

Let just people do the way they want with their wall. And use Greasemonkey to block whatever you dislike.

“social formating” hahaha

I’m a student in Canada, been on FB since 05. My pet peeves are:

1. people that send you friend requests which require you to search their name in your gmail to see how you are connected, as you have no idea who they are or how they got your name.

2. People that share too much personal information on your wall. “Hey Phillip, heard you went on date last night, hope it went well” is ok “Hey Phillip, did you date really say that you are boring and dance like a chimp?” is not ok.

FB rocks although I do miss the 2005/2006 days when it was student-only.

Agree the “ergonomics” of the wall is less than smooth

I can't write on my OWN wall I only get the wall to wall option. Also I only get wall posts in news and mini feeds. I don't actually have a Wall on my profile. I have did all the security settings things, but still makes no difference. I remember I removed it at one time, now it's lost forever. Please help me get my wall back on my profile, so I can write on my OWN wall. Thanks

I can appreciate everyone’s opinions and pet peeves here but it seems kinda short sighted for people to say they liked FB as a college only site better. Sooooo, when they graduate, they’ll stop using it???

Hi. How come I don’t see any “wall-to-wall” link under the message? Do the features vary per country?

Are wall to wall messages private?

Thanks for this. The whole “wall-to-wall” vs. “write on X’s wall” thing is just one of many confusing things about Facebook, especially for newcomers. This post helped.

Hi Caitlin! How are you doing? READY to go back to school after exams?

Well, since it’s impossible to find any info on the wall-to-wall thing on Facebook it doesn’t surprise me that people don’t know the difference. No need to be snooty about it.

I’ve been searching on “wall-to-wall”… and can’t find anything. A tutorial would be helpful for the out-of-college crowd.

Thanks for this post. I’ve avoided Facebook up till now & have just joined. There is so little information around as to how to actually communicate on Facebook.

Plenty on how to join, add friends & how to post photos or other stuff - but f-all on how to actually talk to other people or start talking to other people.

What’s the story with that? It’s pretty much the same on all the “information/help” websites. Are you just supposed to join & magic happens??

Thanks for the post.

Let me ask a question using an example.

BEVERLY and JOHN are Facebook friends with each other. Is there a way for Beverly to be able to see EVERY writing that John has EVER written on walls?

you tools. there’s no standard, there’s no manual, you’re using a service that makes millions off your info , it’s all bullshit. the rules are in flux. there exists no definition of anything about how facebook works. the owners couldn’t care any less about useability. fools…

What’s with the echo

Ugh this totally annoys me too, althought not a new user i joined after 06 and anyone who cant use wall to wall is just stupid.

how come Its posted certain people posted on my wall or comment and it does not show up. yesterday there was a notice that lissia posted it never showed up. today its posted tricia had posted and it does not show up? whats going on?
