Everyone knew it had to happen, but no one ever knows when. That’s right a Jewish Facebook has been created. Jewmango, according to the site is called that because the guy, I can only assume it’s a guy who got fed up with facebook likes Jews and Mangos, I know sounds pretty pathetic to me. Anyway I joined, why not, after all I am also getting bored with being stalked by random large black women and creepy looking Asian guys, I like to stick with the tribe if you know what I mean.
The guy who founded it also happens to be the designer of this site, so I beg of you to join Jewmango and I can be at peace, since he hasn’t collected my hosting fees or designing fees as of yet- and no I am not getting paid for this post. You can also be at peace because you know that the guy you have been poking back and forth for 3 weeks now is in fact Jewish and you do not have to pop the question mid-poking.
Like all things Jewish word will get out and all the sudden it may turn out like J-date which is the largest dating site due to the fact that it is not only the Jews joining. Or maybe intermarriage has gotten so bad that our tribe has expanded to include all the non-Jewish Cohens and Goldbergs- who knows.
Anyway I am wondering what good a Jewish facebook will do? Will they give us something for free, because we are Jews? Will their be a mechitza? There is one of those Besiyata deshamyim tags on the right hand corner which catches my eye. I hear there will even be a virtual mikvah on the site so people can do halalachically ok poking. I also hear that all those food gifts you can give people will be cholov yisroel and glatt kosher, because God only knows what they put in the real facebook food.
Another interesting thing to note, is the fact that since it’s a Jewish site, it will probably make its way through frummy filtering sites like kosher net and klean web. Oh and since its brand new you can probably also get past the social networking filters at your cubicle and finally have something to do other then blog, I know how many employers block facebook and myspace.
Or maybe its just another way to stalk your old seminary roommate and that guy you used to hang out with at Café Rimon, or maybe you can find out the shiz on shaindy before it hits the streets of Only Simchas.
I will leave you with this Facebook stalker video to get you in the mood.

I think the idea is totally ridiculous. How many sites like that do they have to make? How many profiles must one maintain of themself with the same stupid friends commenting walls and pictures? One is good enough. It’ll end up being the same thing because most jews are on facebook. By the 3rd profile, I bet people just copy/paste the same info again because it’s too annoying to fill out all over. The hobbies never change.
Hey Ben you are absolutely right, for me its great because I use these sites to gain exposure. I think its funny- like I just made my profile and it asked me my religious affiliation- Litivishe/chassidish/MOdox- thats hilarious- its worth joining just to see stuff like that.
Or mazal tov your profile was completed, classic man.
I thought Facebook was the Jewish Facebook?
Made by Mark Zuckerberg, its in blue and white, and charges for gifts.
Dbl (double) the Ben.
But it jusy might take off.
First of all, that Facebook stalker video is AWESOME!!!!!
Ben: I totally agree with ya about the 500 profiles thing. I’m happy with one site, its good to be able to check one place and get everything, if i had tonnes of free time on my hands and was very bored then i would probably sign up for all these sites, cos then i could spend all day site hopping, and not have to check each site more than 5 times a day as i would have so many to check. Fortunately i do have a life, so im good with facebook.
There are a couple of real good facebook vids on you tube- I have a few in my favorites on my you tube page.
From what I’ve heard if you even have a facebook profile you have entered the category of people that don’t have lives.
That would mean a very big percentage of the world population doesn’t have lives. But I think having one profile on the internet doesn’t decide that, but more than that yeah.
yeah, i have no clue who you are, but i totally agree with you Maddox, lets get married
haha
jk, dw, im not some kind of crazy facebook stalker!
Gee, Rach, that was quick. You know, I have a very good friend named Rach- I didn’t think it was her since she has so much of a life she doesn’t read blogs- but now I’m sure since she’s married.
But also, every time you write I remember her…. It’s nice- thanks!
Anyway, I read the post before but I only watched the video all the way through now. MAN that was funny- I was laughing my head off. And I haven’t laughed in a while -:(- so thanks!!!!
Btw, which song is this a parody of? Thanks. M
M-Its Hero by Enrique Iglesias, btw never used to read blogs, but this year I’ve got a bit of spare time on my hands… so i do, but hopefully when this year is over and I’m living with/near friends, ill be busy busy busy and will stop blogging
. Okay ill say thanks, lol, cos why not take what you said as a compliment, and yay, im happy you’re enjoying my posts!
I know, the video is awesome!
Hey gals- if you go on my you tube favorites there is an even funnier facebook skit- its very interesting. Its called Facebook Off

why does it show most popular members, random photos, and last logged in on the main page? facebook is much more private than that
