Did all the telephones on Earth stop working? Did every post office close their doors overnight? I know the internet is working if people are on facelame, so emails must still be possile. What about the supposed wonders (ie, total annoyance) of texting. Gee, all of those most have been too personal and direct. So instead, lets go ahead and create something that lets me SEEM like what I'm doing is actually important. Someplace where I can include or exclude other people based on whether or not they're socially worthy. Someplace that is mining all of my personal data, as well as that of my "cool" friends so that they can make more money selling that information to companies who will target market me to death.

confused Facebook is bullshit on a spoon.

If it's in a can people can still decide whether or not to open it. If it's already on a spoon they just stick it in their mouth and swallow.

I have a FB account (NO PICS!!!) and only 3 FB friends. Otherwise, I only use the FB search engine to find people.

I normally don't use it anyway but to check for messages and posts on my wall. But I surely don't use it like I used to. When Facebook's interface was easier to use, I would post YT videos on there and write random stuff. Now I don't even do much of that anymore so yeah you can say I had moved on. But then, I'm not so crazy about a social network lately.

I hate Twitter too. wink

Guy who invented Twitter and a friend having a conversation...

"Man... reading! What gives?"

"I know! Who has time to read!?"

"Right?! And don't even get me started on what a pain in the ass it is to write something!"

"I wish there was a way we could force people to express themselves in fewer words. Make it so they had to use a bunch of nonsensical abbreviations and keyboard characters. It would take so much less time to read."

"Ya know.... that's not a bad idea...... "

Seemed like? It definitely was.

I've been on a ton of social networking sites, and none of them were (or are) as fun and addictive as MySpace was back then.

It was like it was wide-open and anything could (and did) happen. Sometimes that was really good; sometimes it was really bad.

I've kinda hoped to see another site like that but in retrospect, I don't think we will, I think the times had a lot to do with it, because social networking was so new in general.

IMO - Myspace shot itself in the foot by being too ahead of the times.

When it was hot, people got all crazy with music on the homepage and glitter and sh*t. At the time, there were still PLENTY of people using dial-up modems or slow connections. I jumped aboard for a minute, but it took me so DAMN long to load a page (old computer) that I abandoned it.

Facebook was simpler. Nothing to load.

Now, Facebook is becoming almost what Myspace was with all the ads and the timeline images and sh*t. Of course, everyone's got broadband now so it doesn't make a difference.

shrug

I was on MySpace constantly, and trust me, there were a lot of other people on there just as much. I don't think the wait to load pages really deterred most people by any means lol. The place was so exciting and there were so many people and it was so much damn fun that it was kinda worth the waiting and all the tech issues.

Facebook was simpler, and way more depressing. Pretty much everything that made MySpace unpredictable and so much fun...gone. I was honestly surprised when FB took off, and I'm still surprised it lasted this long.

How is Twitter anti-reading? That's asinine to me.

You have to...READ...Tweets.

The character limit thing is a pain in the ass, but if you know how to do it you can pack a hell of a lot into that limit. And for when you can't, there's Twitlonger.

I actually think that out of all the current sites, the only one with any real value is Twitter. Too bad that so much of it is squandered by people reTweeting those stupid accounts that just post cliches like, "The right one won't make you cry" and shit.

Having said that, I'm being a hypocrite because I reTweet some of those types of accounts, too.

My favourite thing about Facebook Timeline, was switching over to the new profile layout, then finding all the drunken absolute gobshite I'd deleted over the course of four years was still there for all to see!

It was a harrowing experience to say the least, but at least a reminder of how not completely mentally ill sounding i appear to be today. Took me two hours to redact that shit.

Horrible. Truly horrible.
