What did they do? Search themselves on Facebook and look at every hit?

I don't disagree. I wasn't suggesting it was a stupid thing to do. I was just curious as to how a player would find a fan on Facebook, without knowing their name first. Of course it's an admirable thing for the player to take interest in his fans. Especially Charlene. She's fantastic.Sirona wrote:Well, I think it is cool that a BC player takes enough interest in his fans to recognize a fan from Facebook. So what if they search themselves and look at every hit..

Maybe so he can recognize and greet them in the crowd?? |Some fans are hard to please it seems no matter what the players do..
Wel to answer your question, or at least try to, if they both belong to the same group then you can find people that way. Just look at the members list of a group you belong to and you can see everyone. Then if you see someone you know you can become their friend and bingo you can see their profile. Remember, groups are open for everyone to see so pics posted in groups can also be seen.pinkfreud wrote:I don't disagree. I wasn't suggesting it was a stupid thing to do.

This is fairly common, with good reason -- since one generally sees oneself in photos less often than in a mirror, the latter informs the brain's point of reference. But the mirror's image isn't real, because it reverses left and right; i.e., if you wink your real left eye, it's the right eye of your image -- not the left -- that winks back. Your brain is fooled: by familiarity, you think the mirror gives the true point of reference. But unless your face is perfectly symmetrical (which is extremely rare), your mirror image can look quite different from the true one in your photos -- to the point of eliciting comments such as above.Charlene wrote:I added the player...told him i wanted his babies...so we became Facebook friends.
That's how he knows my name...i'm on his friend's list, and have sent him messages.
It was still weird to be recognized. I go through life thinking i look nothing like my pictures :P
