Facebook Is Depressing I just reactivated my account tonight, to search for someone whom told me to look them up - and I'd forgotten how depressing it is.
It's like staring at an ant farm. All these people, posting... shit. Every wedding photo looks like every other wedding photo; every holiday photo looks like every other holiday photo; every "wild" and "crazy" party looks like every other shit party I've ever been to. Everybody's just waiting for something to happen; the next meme to exploit until it's no longer funny (which usually only takes a day or two). Baby pictures... All babies look the fucking same... Unless it's got two heads, I'm not bloody interested. I hate Facebook!!!  | |

I like facebook more than I use to since I found a few friends from back in the day. No More Haters on the Internet. | |

I agree with you. More and more, I use Facebook as a simple address book with lots of (easily ignorable) bells and whistles. Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

Twitter is far more my sort of thing.
If I want to post shit, I'd rather just do that on the Org! | |

Exactly! They're no longer close friends for a reason. It's just bemusing to me, why you'd want to speak with someone you barely remember from ten years ago. thesexofit said: And yes, everyone makes out their lives are so interesting and they go to wild parties every night etc....
It's just so distastefully and wilfully ego-driven. "ME! ME! ME! ME! ME!" I hate it. I hate that I ever uploaded photos to it. I hate that I've reactivated the account just so I can be "friends" with someone I speak to nearly every day anyway! What the fuck am I doing??? | |

I know what you mean. I see my mates on it talking to people we just hung out with the night before. It's Pointless | |

It's Pointless Even worse is when you find people you haven't spoken to in years and add them as a friend only to NOT speak to them some more. I always say Facebook is a watse of time yet I'm there everyday. Someone shoot me please. Christopher damn! | |

I like it. It makes it a lot easier to find out about auditions - and keep track of the shows my theatre friends are in. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

Its not old high school friends faults we grew up and moved away... Its fun to remember things and see what the person has been up to all these years... ~~~~~ Oh that voice...incredible....there should be a musical instrument called George Michael... ~~~~~ | |

That's what I did. Added everyone I could remember from school, even if I didn't know them back then. I ended up removing them as friends, save for about 4 or 5. MY COUSIN WORKS IN A PHARMACY AND SHE SAID THEY ENEMA'D PRANCE INTO OBLIVION WITH FENTONILS!! | |

Hey, it's great if you've got family or close friends living far away from you. I'm a six hour drive from my best friend and my goddaughter, and I love that she can put up new pics of her whenever she likes. | |

Facebook can be useful if you want to know what happened to "that guy/chick who was in my class during high school", and similar bullshit...
other than that, I can't see what's so great about it...   [Edited 4/12/10 18:24pm]  | |

Someone shoot me please. that's completely and utterly true My husband rang me up yesterday and there was about about 2 minutes of silence at one point of the conversation, I was like "should I hang up now?" he said we don't always have to be talking, but why ring me up not to talk?!?  | |
