facebook

[Harlan Huckleby]

I was forced to sign-up for facebook. The good news is that friends of friends send requests to be my "friend", its nice to "see" some of these old acquaintances. The bad news is that it seems like a giant bore of people sending tweet-like messages around and annoying each other.

Is everybody on facebook? I feel like I just discovered that there is porn on the internet. How long has this been going on?

Part of the health care bill. Have to sign up to get the free benefits.

Maybe you post pictures of your hemorrhoids and you wait for a proctologist to request friend status.

I was on Facebook. Not anymore. It was just a daily reminder of how fucked up my life is compared to everyone elses. That, and it's annoying to read through posts from top to bottom from people that confuse facebook with twitter.

I am on Facebook. I've found that it's a really good tool to stay in touch with people who have moved away, and even more now that I have moved a few states away. If you don't give a shit about someone from your third grade class and their posts are worthless, delete them so you can enjoy other people in your life. It's not a substitute for face to face interaction, but it is a useful tool to communicate over distance.

email with pictures and video. a lot easier to stay in touch or communicate with a bunch of people at once versus one at a time. to each their own. i use it a ton.

You've lost a lot of weight.

Hah! I know what you mean, I have several friends a lot younger than me, and it does get irritating to hear of the dozen or so social events they seem to attend every week.


That, and it's annoying to read through posts from top to bottom from people that confuse facebook with twitter. ya, that was the first shocker. The first comment I made was a request for helping in tweeting a facebook, and I was informed by a sarcastic youngster that "the internet is a great place to find information about news, sports and even weather reports."

OMG, my facebook page is getting spammed with news of people I don't much know making new friends with people I never knew. What a shit dump facebook is. I need to start losing friends, time to go to work on it.

Will Harlan joining persuade you to reconsider?

Click the post of the person you want to know nothing about, click the hide button.

[Tony Oday]

I love it to keep in touch with old college/hs friends and family...perfect for the comments you want to say to them but dont have enough to say over a phone call :)

the most annoying thing about facebook are the stupid ass games people play. so and so just bought a cow. so and so's mafia just robbed a bank. that shit gets old. I can get past the twitter posts, but those damn games take too much space!

I can get past the twitter posts, but those damn games take too much space!you can HIDE every single one pretty easily. on your home page where everyone's news is filtering down, move your cursor over the right side of the app in question, a HIDE button will pop up. if you click it you will be prompted to hide the person who posted it, or just to hide the application, or neither. cleans your news feed up in a hurry.

What he said....I have hidden just about every app. post that will ever come up, and I've hidden some of my friends who post 1000 times a day about every fkn breath they take. Opens a lot of space for the cooler and more enjoyable status updates.

[Harlan Huckleby]

thanks for the hiding tip. I was hoping for an overtly rude and offensive solution, but the passive aggressive approach does the job.

Fuck Facebook.

And fuck most, and perhaps all other social networking sites.

I got hornswaggled into Myspace back in the day - when there was no facebook. Then - just as I get all dialed into myspace - everyone jumps off the myspace bandwagon and on to Facebook. Then suddenly its a fucking bandwagon for Twitter.

If you don't have my personal email address or my cell phone number - then I'm not really your friend. And...I probably don't want to be. Especially if you want to friend me on Facebook or ask me to follow you on your damn Twitter account.

And don't even get me started on my theory that all this social networking and constantly useless instant updating is really just bringing us closer to a unified consciousness and is the precursor for the next step in human evolution:

I've sent messages to some of the people that friended me and they ignore them. Sort of like our non-relationship in the real world. It seems to be a contest to demonstrate your personal magneticism by attracting 500 BFFs.

Still, I urge all to submit to the machine. There are two kinds of people in the world, people on facebook, and future unibombers.

It's a communist plot. Gorbachev is one of the original founders.
