Circling the Globe with Facebook Photos
I completely reorganized my Facebook page the other night. I categorized all of my friends by the labels you see on the left. This makes it so much easier to use Facebook. If I just want to see what my Xanga friends are up to, there’s a category for that…same with family, casual acquaintances, people I’m “following” (like Twitter), and so on. I also deleted a bunch of “friends” that I never talk to. I added them all originally with good intentions; so if I deleted you by mistake, I apologize, just add me again. Another big accomplishment was with my photos, all 6,223 photos in 141 albums (which is only 19% of the 32,720 photos on my hard drive). I got them all categorized correctly and presented in my Photo Albums tab on Facebook. You have to be a Facebook member to view the albums below, but I don’t think you have to be my friend. I also recently set up a Tumblr. I’m warming up to microblogging more and more, and I think Tumblr just might be the next big thing. Time will tell.Trips

So that’s just the “Travel Album”! There are hundreds more on Facebook. One of these days I need to start scanning my pre-digital photos. I have over 30,000 of those too! I guess I have something to look forward to when I retire! We’re off to Santa Barbara for the weekend (to take more photos!) Happy Friday!

That’s quite an accomplishment. Way more patience than I could muster.
isn’t it great? it even makes inviting people to events way easier. Now all the people who you want to invite similar events are categorized together! i did the same thing couple weeks back. :)
hey it’s the haunted hotel coronado!
@wherethefishlives - Yeah, I stayed up until 4 AM doing it :)
@Shades_of_Athena - LOL…I’ve stayed at the Del a few times, but have never seen a ghost! :)
Ohhh, can I be in all of your Facebook friend categories?
Also, that World Cup 2006 photo is major awesomeness.
You have 340 friends on Xanga? How the hell do you keep track?!
Have fun at Santa Barbara.
@pxlspy01 - Sure CJ!! We can travel the world! I don’t know if you noticed, but that’s you in the bottom right corner of the first collage pic!
@Dezinerdreams - You know that I’m very good at everything I do Vivek!
i barely give a crap to organize what me friends are doing compared to building my neu blog’s layout =/
@mr_faust - We all have our priorities! :)
@CareyGLY - Woohoo! World travel sounds like fun!
OI! Look, it’s me and my mom’s arm! Haha. Didn’t notice that, actually!
@CareyGLY - I was asking for tips silly!
great pix as always – you’ve WAY more ambition than I! – lol perhaps when i ever retire i can go through all of them! peace, Al
@Dezinerdreams - Tips? Try to be as charming as me!
@pukemeister - It was becoming a necessity…there was too much to keep track of. It’s so much more efficient now!
Facebook whore. lol. I didnt even know I could do that. Oh well now you make me wanna do organize it.
@vsan79 - LOL…add me :)
I can hear those servers creaking under the weight of your photos… hahaha.
great pic collection there, but something is missing… indonesia!!
@ElusiveWords - LOL…Yes, Facebook needs to devote a server just to me!!
@rudyhou - All of my Indonesia pics are pre digital. I need to scan them :(
Nooo, please don’t succumb to Tumblr…it is the spawn of the devil and Sarah Palin. (Side note: I’m not sure if you watch ET or E! but ET glorifies Levi so much and I’m pretty sure you know more about the situation, but we get ET episodes here so late, how OLD is Mary Hart?! Gosh! )
And my favourite picture is still the one of Oreo with the gamekeeper chasing him off the field. Amazing dog.
@Loltothepower - LOL, yes, I know ET glorifies Levi, but do you guys get “The Insider”. They actually have him on the panel a lot. It’s so hard to watch…it’s so bad, but so good!! BTW, I think Mary Hart is in her 60s. She looks good though. I saw her in person at Dancing With the Stars last spring and she didn’t look too bad. Lots of makeup though.
That’s my favorite picture of Oreo too. A true classic!! Thanks for remembering.
And what in the world is wrong with Tumblr?? Unfortunately I’ve already succumbed: http://careygly.tumblr.com/
It still needs work, but I like some of their features. Do tell!!
