Facebook? More Like FAILbook...

I only joined a couple of months ago, so I wasn't particularly attached to the page layout.

But I have yet to see what the big attraction is with Facebook. I hear people saying how they spend hours and hours on it, and these are grownups I'm talking about. But I haven't found anything there worth spending more than a few minutes on. The games are pretty lame, the quizzes are pretty lame, most of the posts are pretty mindless. So what's the big draw? :confused:

It's fun to stalk your loved ones and not-so-loved ones.

Not creepy at all...

I think I might go through and delete family members and old people... haha

I agree with the *twitterized* statement above.

Every change they make pushes it more towards the
"I have a 1.3 second attention span and need everything thing to be perfectly visually appealing and have no time for punctuation or capitalization or spelling and really just want a site full of pictures of my 'friends' and words in random order so I feel like all of my 758 'friends' actually care what i'm doing and i can post an update everytime i do anything no matter how lame and average i and my life in general are and maybe my miserable adhd fueled life can seem cool and important" website.

Done:rolleyes:

I don't care for the new layout either. I didn't have a problem with the last change... but this one is exactly that, too ADD.

I've never been to twitter, though.

Stalking your best friends. :ninja:

Exactly...

My main problem with facebook now is that my ENTIRE FAMILY is on it. I can't write anything without my parents, cousins, etc. reading it and/or making embarrassing comments. For example, the other night I had a late night out with friends and I wrote about it, and my dad decides to leave a comment saying something like "You shouldn't be out that late" and basically tries to chastise me over the internet. Ridiculous.


I know I would end up hurting a lot of feelings if I just deleted them, so I may have to give facebook up. Yet another facet of life where I'm no longer allowed privacy from my snooping family. :o

i used to spend time on facebook. when it died for me is when you no longer had to have a student email to get an account. now i have elders in my church trying to send me invites for games and mess. total waste of time. my wife now has an account. she wanted to know about someone she's not friends with. i logged on to see and i had like 25 friend requests. i don't spend any time on there anymore. it was great when it was different. now it's just a myspace/twitter wanna-be.
