facebook is the devil

seriously...this is what my nan posted on my facebook wall last night at 2:30am my time:

Quote:
Hey Alex glad your on farmville I can send you trees and animals but now will you please join me on island Paradise as I need just 2 more then I can move onto a bigger Island. Why dont you ask James to join it too then I will have enough to move on OK. Nanny. A suggestionhas been made by James for you all to come here for Christmas that would be just fine, just let me know so I know what I'm doing and if you do decide to come just bring a side dish of something to help me out. Love you Nanny.
this is after she's been pestering me for ages to get a farmville (I finally broke down b/c I can't say no to her).

Seriously though...she's 64 and addicted to facebook apps!

My wife is there too...but between golf, movies, traveling and other fun stuff...there's no time! For me at least.

Wow, Facebook apps to me are the least and most boring thing I could think of doing on a computer asides from work. I don't think I have a single app added, though I don't bother with FB. Why? I don't care what people are having for dinner or those drunken night out photos.

Also like out of how ever many hundred potential "friends" I could add, only a few are what would be the true definition of a friend. That goes for everyone. I also don't like the idea of many people "friends" knowing too much.


Sounds more like a rant than an opinion.

^Yes, this sums up my feelings about facebook, myspace, and other "What I am doing at this moment in time" sites.

YES.

EDIT: Jesus, I didn't have to quote it, silly me.

My solution to the problem, is whenever someone sends me an invitation to a new app, I just click the little link at the bottom that says Block Application.

Social networking sites get progressively worse, and it always happens when they get bigger. I remember the original Myspace, YouTube, and Facebook... they were much better. Now it's a cesspool of drama and bullshit.

I don't play games on FB.... I refuse. I have a Pogo account for those kinds of games, and I don't have to deal with 5 bazillion people asking me to be in their fake Mafia.

If I want to join the Mafia, I'll move to Little Italy.

I don't add people that I don't want to keep up with but I don't refuse requests from people that network through friends, if that makes sense.

I need more friends for Farmville though... It helps break the monotony of those 10 hour study sessions, lol.

This is so true. In fact it could be one of those 'laws' or social observations. Social networking is probably a good thing. The problem with doing it through a medium like the internet is that it's not as genuine as face to face interaction. In fact if I gave an honest assessment of the feel of these sites sometimes, it's that it's quite fake.

Just seems that people have to beef themselves up with their displays and everything. Sorry to rant.

I think the 'rule' is that, the more people that get their hands in something, the worse it gets. And yea, social networking websites are basically self-mastubatory non-sense. I love when my sister cracks on me playing video games, and she sits there playing Mafia Wars on Facebook until 3am. Social networking is best in small bubbles, where the uniting factor isn't based around drama/popularity.

farmville hates me...I got one finally like a wk ago (just before I posted this), and I have yet to get it to save. I've been trying to make designs out of my farm, but it won't save no matter what I do. I'm pissed!
