"Facebook is a social utility that connects you with the people around you."
i.e. "Facebook, the ulitmate place to stalk the people around you.'
Let's analyze this.... "...the people around you." It's a common mistake to say that the people you add on facebook are your "friends". This may be the case for people who have clear line between "friends" and "aquantances". I, on the other hand, find myself looking at all my friends friends and adding people I have met once, maybe twice, and people who i've seen across a room before.. Maybe even people that kinda sorta look familiar. Seeing large numbers next to "KOALA'S FRIENDS", makes me feel all giddy inside. Most of the people on facebook that are my "friends" are people I haven't spoken to in YEARS. I'm either, gosh durnet, the worst friend ever!... or.... I don't actually have 802,348,902,384 friends. Facebook... the ultimate ego booster.
(These are not names of real people.... well.. maybe somewhere... )
"...connects you with the people around you." Let me tell you what I see when I look at my home page....
* Susan is no longer listed as single* - Oh! I haven't seen her in forever! I wonder who she's dating...
* Maria and Shawn are now friends* - Oh weird... weeeeird.
*
Alexa and Matt ended their relationship* - OMG! I totally thought they were going to get married.... wait... why is facebook telling me their personall info?... I wonder who dumped who...
* Paul is no longer interested in Women* ..... dude.....
Anyways... I think the biggest problem I have with it is the fact that you can't take the *POKE* Application off..... *Mandy poked you*.... Woah.. you would think I would have felt that and wouldn't find out through a notification.... wait... MANDY, GOSH DURN IT, STOP POKING ME!
What do you all think of this site? I personally think it's raising stalkers.... no everyone will want to know everyone's business and such because they think they have the right seeing as they are now "friends". At least you won't have to worry about being stalked... because there's no question about it... You. Are.
