Facebook and it's army of loyal users are REALLY annoying - all of them. Most of them can't go an hour without checking for updates or whatever BS they do on that site. This past week we had a pharmacy student doing a rotation in our department. On his second day on the job at 9AM he sat down at the computer next to me and our conversation went something like this:
Him - Do you think I'd get in trouble if I checked my facebook on this computer?
Me - (rolls eyes) probably not the best idea
Him - You're right, I'll check it on my cell phone.
Me - (facepalm whilst rolling eyes)
Facebook users are out of control.
To all the facebook users out there I've got only one question for you - "how many of your facebook friends would help you move house?" That's what I though.
I'm not a member and I don't seem myself joining in the future.

Love it.
Failbook is right.
Besides, I can think of about a million better things to do...like learn how to be an ant exterminator while getting bit by the little monsters. :)
Oops. I didn't know I commented with your name.
The ants must have poisoned me, and I lost my mind! Lol.
People on the whole are irresponsible morons, you could say the same thing about television with most people. They watch it ALL THE TIME, and if they start watching it they cannot PEEL themselves away for ten seconds to DO anything.
But if you can restrain yourself, or at least NOT be a 100% moron, Facebook is an awesome place to keep in touch with your friends.
The only reason I even thought to check your blog for example was because I just updated mine, and wanted to make sure it was still pwning yours :P
So unless you send me an E-mail update after you update your blog, I almost never remember to check it.
So, unless you have an RSS reader that you subscribe to things too, use Facebook to get status updates, at least about your Pal mike man! -- Check it once a week, whatever, at least it would be better then me e-mailing you all the time.
If you want to keep in touch with your friend (Mike's) life, join Facebook under an Alias, Like ESpencerT or Blastula, and just add me. Sort of like what Jacob’s did (He is Jay Cubbs, and ONLY adds his friends that he cares about, no one else…)
That way, you are 100% sure to NEVER be added by anyone else you know, AND you will only get updates from your pal Mike.
Oh, and of course, never post anything but updates to me about your blog and whatnot.. Problem solved. Don't upload photo's or post on your Facebook ever. No need, you have a blog anyway.
Still WIN/WIN for everyone, (mostly me I guess since it’s way less annoying for me.)
After all, the biggest misconceptions about something come from people who DON'T use / try the product. There is a reason everyone uses Facebook Spence, you should consider that before ranting about how bad it sucks.
I am allowed to rant about how bad it sucks because I use it, and I am not a moron.
Plus, you know that if Facebook ever went to round 1 IPO you would invest :P There is so much SEO, and money in all of the crap moron's are adding to Facebook, it is amazing. Mark my words, in under 3 years from now, if they don't get to crazy with their security and access to this information and the government doesn't step in. Facebook will take over the social medium, and you are going to want your $20 bucks in there early when it does ;)
Damn this crappy interface didn't get my spacing right.. Fail.
Oh yeah one more thing, just to solidify my T.V. comment. I am not sure if you have heard of a Sling box or not, but there are people at work, IE Ormed, and other offices that use shit like that to WATCH T.V. at their desks.
So yeah, T.V, Facebook. I.M's Social Media, all of that shit, You Tube, they are all things that people who don't know how to schedule their time fall into BIG TIME.
So, I am sure you can restrain yourself from Facebook every 5 minutes. After all, it really would help me keep in touch with you, ya BUM!
Night man!
Good call.
