Hate on facebook

kenchan

phelan

is this a troll thread? not sure if serious.

i heard a study that was saying an ideal person's circle of 'meaningful friends' hovers around 50 people. supposedly there's another site being built that limits you to 50 friends / network connections / whatever you want to call them.

my fbook account just sits there...if people want to write me something i'll respond, but generally i don't write something in my status unless i'm REAAAALLY wored.

amusingly enough some people respond to fbook messages more than answering their phones or texts.

Someone needs to crash their Z or blow their engine so people have something relevant to read and post about...

Eh, I like facebook. Being in the military, I have friends all over the country and it would take way too much effort to call or email all of them. And it's not because we're not actually good friends, it's just that I'm busy with my job and they're busy with theirs. Unless I have some relatively significant reason to call or email them, it's just not gonna happen, and vice versa. But facebook makes it easy to see what they've been doing with their lives (mostly via photos), and they can see what I've been doing. So it's nice to sort of keep tabs on them until I have a reason and/or time to call and really catch up with that person. Also, I don't even add people unless I actually consider them a friend. Person I sort of knew in high school/middle school/whatever? Not getting added.

I think it's mostly people with too much time on their hands who do stupid **** like treat it like twitter or who play crap like farmville. Anyone who starts that gets immediately unfriended.

Way to much effort. I hope my safety isn't in your hands one day.

"I was going to stop the invading forces, but that would have been WAY to much effort. So I just posted about it on facebook."

I have 2 FB accounts.

1st is for close friends and I usually just make fun of myself or what happened to me.

2nd is for business connections in the race world.

I don't use my real name for either of them, so I'm able to stay somewhat anonymous to high school friends, stalkers, etc.

I did this a while back on "National Unfriend Day". At first I thought it was a pretty funny joke, but once you started axing people it actually became sort of empowering.

I'm 34 but have had a Facebook account for a long time because the interns in my office all had it and they insisted we all join so that they could tag us in photos they took when we did happy hour after work. For a long time (years) I had very few friends and then almost overnight, everyone my age somehow got clued into the fact that Facebook existed and they all friend requested me. Since I knew these people, I accepted all the requests but found that none of them had any interest in reconnecting. They just wanted to see what I was doing, if I got fat, got married, etc.

All those people got the ax on National Unfriend Day. I pared it down to people I actually speak to at least once a year and family members (who quite honestly I really don't want viewing my profile, but how can you not accept a request from them?).

When used like that, Facebook is a really useful tool for one main reason: photo sharing. Beyond that, if you've moved across the country like I did, it's useful for keeping in touch with old friends back where you're from, who you may only see once or twice a year.
