Anybody else just sick to death of it?
The only reason why I haven't deleted my profile yet is because it is actually a useful tool to plan parties and other events and the like, but man, certain people shouldn't be allowed to use it and it's those people who ruin it for everybody else. Some of those people are the following:
- New mothers: I'm sorry, but your child isn't special. He's a baby and does what babies do. In fact, you'd be shocked to discover how similar your baby is to every other one. Because of this, you can ease up on posting every minute detail in the life of your "special little guy".
- The "Woe is me" crowd: Your life isn't that bad. Stop fishing for compliments and shut up.
- The "25 going on 15-year-old girl": Step back and objectively look at the drivel you post. You're an adult. Your status updates causes hemorrhages in the brains of those that read them. Please just stop.
There are more, but these are the most chronic of offenders. These people are killing it for everybody.

In the upper right-hand corner of the posts is an X. This X lets you hide the post or hide all posts by that user.
Problem solved.

Here I was thinking someone pulled a "suicide prank" on Facebook.
Glad to see I was wrong.
Back on topic, the reason I've never signed up for Facebook is because strangers are allowed to poke you.
That's messed up, yo.

I have thankfully never been poked. Although that may be because I'm quite ugly.

Eh. I don't have a ton of friends on it, so I don't get all THAT much stuff on my updates.

I planned to delete my fb, as all I use it for it a notification service that I have posted on Tumblr - however, the outpouring of "What happened to Spike?" was whelming... neither under, nor over... but there are people I only contact through that thing, so now I reactivated it fo dat raisin.

That's nice. My mother recently used Facebook to meet and chat with a friend she hadn't met in 15 years. And I've used it to catch up with relatives I hardly ever see in person because they live so far away.
Perhaps you should spend less time worrying about stupid people doing stupid things?

It's not like you can't delete people or hide their stupid status'. Some of you make it seem like you're forced to see every farmville invited your aunt Trudy sends you.

If anyone here posts the same way on FB as they do here (funny, wiseass type stuff) then let me know. I need that on my FB.

I use twitter a lot more the Facebook now because people sometimes actually respond to stuff I say.On Facebook the only people who comment on my stuff are my sisters,that's no fun. Suppose that could be due to my shut in like nature,90% of the people I am friends with on Facebook I have not seen since I graduated High School.

I just don't add annoying people..and, well, I'm 30..most of my friends are married, having kids, etc, so I really don't mind seeing updates on their kids.

The people that update on their kids aren't doing it for your sake, they're doing it because:
1. They may have relatives who are most likely interested in seeing their nephew/niece/grandchild/whatever
2. They just had a kid and are probably f***ing proud about it
I agree on the other two but this always comes off to me as a self-righteous thing to complain about.
And it's still better than Twitter.

I just use Facebook to talk to friends and share pictures. I feel like worrying about what other people are posting is a waste of time.

In the upper right-hand corner of the posts is an X. This X lets you hide the post or hide all posts by that user. Problem solved. Pretty much this. I don't get the whole 'Facebook is such full of drama!" thing. I have about 30 friends. I don't add people I don't know. If I've added annoying family/friends I just hide them so deleting them doesn't cause a fuss. And, I block game invites because I don't use the bullshit. I love Facebook. I think it's great. I think it's useful. |

Facebook can be fun, but I do agree with new mothers. I do not need to know every 5 minutes what your little critter is doing.
