Don't look for me on Facebook anymore. I deleted myself yesterday, after realizing that most of my "friends" are really relatives or in-laws. And we are using the internet to communicate instead of calling each other on the phone or writing more than 2 sentences in a letter.
It is very revealing. And what it reveals is how banal and un-interesting my network is. And, who gives a crap about their pets? Or livestock? People taking photos of themselves with animals is just creepy, if you ask me.
The other thing my "friends" do is to entertain themselves by writing comments on my wall to correct spelling errors (and other minor inaccuracies). Please - if you can't think of anything more to say than to comment on someone's grammatical mistakes or spelling errors, perhaps you should re-evaluate your priorities, you nitpicking natterers.
It's really a young person's venue - where people give out personal information like popcorn, and post inanities. I admit to posting a few myself. See, it's not my fault, it's the medium that invites reckless behavior. This is why I do not blame my tormentors. Now I have deleted the wall. They lose. Besides, no one likes them and they smell funny.
Anyway, the whole facebook idea is just based on graffitti when you think about it.
Oh did I mispell that? Who cares?

I tried spray-painting my facebook wall and now I can't read my laptop's screen. Gloryoski! (That word is so the kids won't understand what I'm saying.) Besides aren't our blogs really In-Your-Facebooks?
does this mean no Tweets also?
No twix; no tweets. I must have more important things to do than evesdrop on other people gossiping about their pets, kids, health and economic hardships.
I'm surprised that you were seduced by a "girlie" social networking site. Real men should be in the living room watching sports on TV instead of being online chatting with the girls.
If you google the phrase "I hate Facebook" you wiill get 23 million hits.
I guess I am not the only one.
