I don't mean to troll here ...


but am I the only one getting tired of facebook?

I know it is a good way to connect and even promote your band ... but it is overloaded with cutsie kitch and meaningless posts.

I am embarassed to be there ...

(to the moderators ... I hope I am not breaking any rules here)

Not that Facebook doesn't have issues, but the problem isn't really Facebook--it's people. People suck. Always have, always will. We ruin everything. Yay us!

I do a fair amount of check ins and updates, but not the "going to the grocery store" crap some people do 100 times a day. Luckily I don't have many of my friends doing that. I find it a good way to keep in touch with old friends who I never see. If I didn't have them on FB I would totally lose touch with them.

I never liked Facebook...I always preferred myspace because I could edit the backrounds and such.

I feel facebook is a lot like cell phones - it's an extra obligation that rids you of any privacy. What if I wanted to disappear for the weekend? 'OMGZ NO WHERED ERIC GO!? HEZ NOT ON FB N HEZ NOT ANSWERIN HIS CELL PHONE!'

Ugh...
I never check mine anyways. I don't give a crap about someone getting a new butterfly tattoo.

I quite like the newer right side newsfeed that let me see what everybody does in real time even more then before so I can be a better stalker.

I have a few photo albums too with lots of pictures from growing up. Never heard somebody call it a face book. Weird.

I've gotten better at playing music and much worse at FaceBook stuff.

Yes.

I spend more time cleaning up the meaningless drivel than anything else.
