Aren’t you tired of Facebook?

I know I am… and for those of you who aren’t, check this out. It will show you just how irritating Facebook can be.
These days, the most interaction I have with Facebook is indirect with updates via Twitter and Notes imported from this blog :P

hey, nice blog. I just closed my facebook account for good, and in fact I wrote an article about it, explaining in details about my exprience as an old facebook user.
Keep up the good work.
Oh yes, I am so tired of Fakebook and MusicSpace (it is cool for a second – but I am over it and so are most of my friends). I find Fakebook especially annoying. MusicSpace, however, is a great place to check out new music and it is open access so you don’t have to have an account to see most musician’s profiles.
I closed out my accounts a little while back and feel much more with it and connected to my group of friends and have actually made a couple of new friends! All sans a social networking account! What?
What keeps me connected you may ask? Text messaging, phone conversations, face to face communication, Thursday night Happy Hour’s with the girls, yoga, and the rec volleyball team that I play for.
Life’s too short to put up with the negativity, drama and attention starved profile updates that Fakebook offers. It’s not the network, it’s what the network does to the people once they realize they have an “audience” of 50, 100, 200 or 500 “friends.”
Fakebook is great for a quick dip. Dip in, talk to the people that you lost contact with that you truly care about. Get their email or contact info so you can stay in touch. Then, delete you account (before the nightmare starts). If you and the person that was (ripped out of your life before the internet was invented) are really friends, you’ll continue your friendship and communications via email, phone calls, get together’s…
Some very introverted people actually use Facebook as a crutch – as a means of real communication. I know someone like this and feel sorry for her. She acts as though her status update’s explain everything and negate the need for real converstation.
Great post and I’ve seen that video before – It is hilarious! Thanks!
Thanks for the comment Ashley and I do agree with you. Facebook is a nice once-in-a-while thing. I have to say I’m beginning to like Twitter better ,especially hte fact that you can just ‘un-follow’ people who seem to pretentious or just talk a load of crap you want nothing to do with. However, for the spread of ideas and knowledge, I really really like it.
All in all though, face-to-face ALWAYS ROCKS. no doubt. Keep at it!
Peace,
