Do you remember myspace?...
Nah...
Neither do I. Neither does anybody else.
We might be saying the same thing about facebook soon, according to what Aol news says or that segment on NPR, because of Google +.
I know the two questions running through your mind right now....
1. WHY do you still have aol????
and
2. What is Google + ???
And my answers to both are...I havent the faintest idea.
I do love me some facebook though, as does most of the world (but not China, interestingly enough. I saw that on a facebook "special" on CBS. Thought provoking stuff.
I post at least once a day. And I do enjoy reading everyone else's posts...most the time. I appreciate facebook for being a link to long lost friends, and friends you currently have. Good way to have the granparents see the kiddos too.
But is anybody with me, about stuff on facebook, that annoys you? To no end?
And its bad, you know....because these are your friends...well facebook friends anyway. You know...That CBS special was talking about the word "friend" and how facebook has radically changed the meaning of that word.....like I said...intriguing stuff....
So without further ado...I present...
Stuff that really annoys me on facebook.
(If any of my facebook friends are annoyed with me after reading this, dont change your ways because of this post. You be you, man. Just be you. Go on.)
What annoys me on facebook....
1. Most Twitter updates....because I don't understand half of what you are saying on the facebook feed.
2. People who share ridiculous intimiate details or conversations about/with their significant other regarding their breakups/makeups....really...have a face to face conversation.
3. I'm sorry if you are sick...I really am...and feel free to post that you arent feeling well...because we all need a little sympathy...but words like"snot, diarrhea, mucus," and so on, really dont belong on the home news feed. I feel bad that snot is running out your nose like the Niagra Falls, really, I feel horrible for you. And kudos to the analogy. Top Notch. But I don't really need that much detail.
4. The Goodbye Cruel Facebook. AKA ...Threatening people you are about to delete friends off your Friends list. Its okay....just delete me. I understand. Its not you. Its me.
5. People praying on Facebook. Dont get me wrong. I am a Christian. I pray. I love Jesus. I like encouraging words on facebook. I like Bible verse quotes on facebook. ....however...Jesus does not have a facebook page. Sorry if this offends my fellow Christian friends....but this is weird.
6. People who post something that cause other people to ask more details, and then that person says they'd rather not talk about it, or its personal or private. Then....how about you dont post about it on Facebook and then I wont get all nosy and ask. I don't get it.
7. A friend of mine mentioned this the other day, and I whole heartedly agree with him...."Would you guys make it more interesting (facebook) and stop quoting song lyrics...no really you're the only one who listens to that song." Agreed.
8. Do not post "I'm bored", "hi" or "I don't have anything to say.".....and dont be surprised if no one comments on your awesome post.
In contrast however....things I do like about facebook...
1. Articles you find interesting.
2. Articles you find not so much interesting but more outrageous, and which makes me want to blog.
3. Funny pictures, of you, your kids or your cat ....because cats are funny.....yes they are
...they are hilarious! They are!
...they are hilarious! They are!See? Funny!
4. And anything else in between.
So off to facebook with you now. Go on. I'll see you there. Unless you deleted me after reading this.
