Attention All BSD Addicts!

The hardest part is admitting you have a problem. In this particular case, the next best thing to do is probably further indulge yourself.

BSD is taking the world by air, land, and sea. Some things currently in operation...

Black Shoe Diaries Is Still Mobile! We mentioned the details in the fall, but for those of you who have surrendered to the crackberry/iPhone revolution, being away from the office doesn't mean you can't stay updated at: http://mobile.blackshoediaries.com

Plus there is this: are you stuck at the game watching Big Ten propaganda on the JumboTron while a crucial play is being reviewed? Check out the game thread comments. Did you hear which choice word Conley used this time? Let us know in the comments. Have great seats? Attach a picture in the comments. See what I'm getting at?

Black Shoe Diaries Now Tweets! For those of you who keep tabs on friends and family via Twitter, follow BSDTweet at: twitter.com/bsdtweet

Get a heads-up every time BSD is updated with a front page post, fanpost or fan shot. We will also experiment with things like score updates, recruiting news and general headlines; there aren't any set plans for these things right now as we are still getting our bearings, but check it out now and we will keep you posted on our future uses.

Black Shoe Diaries Now Books Faces! The community here continues over at facebook.

And while we are here, don't forget about Black Shoe Shirts & Pants, the official t-shirt store of BSD. Look for updates to the inventory in the near future.

The BSD staff represents a wide range of online social knowledge and experience, but it's important that you all let us know if you think we are missing the boat on something that could help enhance the site. This is a community after all. Why do you need to take the time to do this? Because BSD will inevitably take over the world, and we are promising titles of nobility to any and all who assist us in speeding up the chore.

You fellas looking to transition from desk jockeys to full-time bloggers? I gotta think what started as a hobby is starting to transition into the realm of seriously time-consuming.

Not destroy...

We must mold them to our will. They will abandon the false idol Leman and bow down in worship of the mighty Zug.

Someone needs to invite J Leman to befriend BSD

THAT would get BHGP’s panties in a bunch!

Mixed emotions here

I’m simultaneously humored by the thought of that irony and nauseated by the thought of BHGP’s unmentionables.

Merchandise links

I don’t know if it fizzled out during/after the Rose Bowl or what, but haven’t really seen anything about this since. I’m still currently in the red as far as my budget is concerned, but that should be back up in the black in the next month or 2, and I had my eye on some of those shirts.

Check the sidebar

There is a permanent link to the BSD store about halfway down in the right.

I’m going to put a link to this post in there too so people can reference the mobile sites.

Did you see who is a Facebook friend to BSD?

When I looked at the facebook BSD page a few names popped up (no I’m not kidding):
Evan Royster, Levi Brown, and Lydell Sargent.
I’m not sure if they popped up b/c I’ve friended them or what, but they were listed as BSD friends. I did a quick search for Graham Zug, and he’s on facebook, but I’m too afraid to send a friend request, or invite him to join.

I'm still waiting with bated breath for BSD to accept me as a facebook friend ;-)

by The JuggerNitt on Feb 3, 2009 12:43 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

As the new, official administrator of BSD Facebook page

I’ll get right on that. It seems I can’t log on from work anymore — who told them?!? — but I’ll get back to work on the profile tonight.

Serioiusly?

I always accepted all invites. Sorry if I declined it for some reason. Were you trying to get me to sign up for some Barack Obama group or something? Cuz those always went right in the trash.

welcome back, long time no see! It’s been what, like 3 weeks since you’ve been on here? And I wasn’t on for like 2 weeks before that. Missed you ;-)

No big deal

I looked up a bunch of players and sent them friend invites. They have thousands of people on their friend lists. I don’t think anybody ever turns down a facebook friend invite.

I will say by looking at the pictures those guys post on their facebook pages, they don’t have any problems with the ladies.

I turn down facebook invites all the time :-p

well not all the time, but any time I have no idea who the person is, or why they are friending me

by The JuggerNitt on Feb 3, 2009 12:54 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

That's cuz you're old

and don’t trust the interwebs. Kids today will put anything on the internet and they don’t care who sees it.

lol, maybe

though even when I was “young and trusting” I didn’t trust the interwebs

Mostly I do it so I don’t have to deal with a million “status updates” of people who I have no idea who they are

Oh

You know, you probably could have not said that and we’d all have been really impressed those guys are reading BSD

was the first friend listed when I searched for Black Shoe Diaries on Facebook

We're tight

And by the way, everyone should be friends with Jon Ditto just so you can see the somewhat ambiguously gay photo of him and Jesse Alfreno. Oh if that little ditty got out on a message board…or blog…

However, to be fair.

We’ve both (and Galen, for that matter) had plenty of opportunities to circulate potentially disasterous, non-Facebook photos, and didn’t.

As far as I’m concerned, what happens on Facebook stays on Facebook.

Right

I wouldn’t do that to anyone. Obviously I haven’t.

But people who put that stuff on their facebook page and allow anyone to see it are almost asking for it.

Speaking of which, is it possible for people to load their pictures into the BSD profile? That would be cool to put names with faces.

The internet will ensure that nobody can run for public office, ever.

Funny thing about it is that society will eventually reach a point where the vast majority of people have some sort of internet infamy to live down. And it will be hilarious, but kind of inconsequential.

We can post photos of ourselves to the BSD facebook page "wall"

But it wouldn’t really be an album or anything, unless you copy pasted the pictures, and then made an album with them. If there was a BSD group on facebook, we all could post pictures into it.

You know, this may usher in a new era of “Your ____ sounds hot”

Nice, I just signed up for facebook and see all sorts of friends

What do you do on it?

I'd like to make a suggestion

I wouldn’t have found this site without going through NittanyLinks.org. I don’t know if nittanylinks is a high traffic site, but the BSD link goes straight to another page on this site, NOT the homepage. I’m assuming it’s a page solely for football, which to a causal clicker, appears to be rarely updated (the most recent post is the “Hate Penn State Week Continues”).

Long story short, get Nittanylinks to change the BSD link to the homepage. For the longest time, I clicked on BSD to get stories once or twice a week thinking it’s updated once or twice a week; as opposed to now where I’m on it almost every day.
