Facebook Overload

[lethe]

I do admit to enjoying an aspect of facebook.
Seeing just how little people I know have and their minds and yet somehow feel they need to share it.
It's kinda like going to the zoo.

I thought that's what you liked about this place.

...and I take yet another step toward hermitdom and writing my manifesto...

People who only communicate using facebook are equal in my book to the people who REFUSE to talk on the phone.  I only get 200 texts a month people, and even if I DID have unlimited texts I'd rather get a 5 minute phone conversation with you, my friend and possibly loved one, out of the way than spend the next 6 hours wishing I had a better prescription staring at this little make the beast with two backsin screen.  Pick up the phone and call someone!  Write a damn letter! 

/Rant

Myspace was ok back in college just because it was an efficient communication device for professors and colleages, but it was just that.  Ok.  In moderation, plus you could go listen to bands and such.  The only thing I find more infuriating than Facebook: is Twitter. 


Ok Steve, I got this idea.  Lets take the most irritating, nonsensical, and ultimately USELESS portion of Facebook, and give it it's own site.

Steve: you mean....

Yep!! make the beast with two backsin status updates!  That way, when you have to drop the kids off at the pool, or when you have to drop the kids off at the pool, people can leave comments bantering back and forth to try and figure out whether you meant it literally or fecaly.  The entire world can know what you had for dinner and that you're absolutely exhausted after your hard day at that retail place you work at!!  Who needs pictures that you can share with your friends?  Why would an email-esque communications device be of any worth?  Need to find new music?  Go buy a CD!!  Yep.  It's gonna be huge.

Steve: I don't think.....

HUGE


Ok, now /rant.

I'll admit it - I have a Facebook account. Which rarely is accessed.

Why I set it up originally was to get in contact with an old friend whom I hadn't seen in the better part of 20 years, and had no idea how to contact. Cool. A bunch of old classmates friended later, OK, whatever.

But I never go on there for more than maybe five minutes a month (if that) because I have better things to do than mention that my socks got dirty out in the shop and I don't know how I'll get them clean and really give a shit how someone might suggest I do so. WTF - don't people have real lives and actual things to do??

But the best yet was this week, when I got an e-mail from FB that a college roommate "answered a question about you". Huh?? Question? So I clicked the link.

Apparently you have to accumulate coins or points or some stupid thing somehow to uncover how people answered questions about you and who they are. Things like "do you think he's cute?". Are we in make the beast with two backsing first grade again?? Look, if you want to suck my balls, look me up in the phone book and give me a call.....

I reiterate my comment above.....  

(and yes, I'm in a hell of a mood today)

In principle, that's great. But rarely does anyone donate that kind of money without gaining something in return. There's money to be made from his massive donation. I know that sounds cynical, but it's true. It's probably a means of getting more Facebook recognition from an even younger generation.

Tax cuts. Thats why all the celebs do it.

I don't have a Facebook account or the other one either, what is it My space I think. Anyway face book doesn't have an old board or a toaster or Dimby. Those are important I think.

I find FB to be a fantastic way to keep up with people I care about, but not enough to call.
