I dislike Facebook. A lot. And yet, I can’t look away, like a particularly noxious car wreck.
There are several things I find thoroughly weird about Facebook:
- Only a handful of “friends” on Facebook are actually friends.
- Most FB “friends” are people I went to High School with and haven’t heard from in 25 years, random people I worked with 10 years ago and haven’t seen since then, and…
- Freeking almost every single ex-girlfriend I’ve ever had has found me on FB and friended me. That’s particularly weird. I think I found one or two more on my own– after I figured why not try to make a complete set–, and the rest found me.
- And most of what everyone does on there is submit quizzes and puzzles and stupid chain-email-style crap.
- The only moderately entertaining thing about it is the Twitter-like updates from a few people I know. If I could get those via Twitter or Identi.ca, I’d never go near FB at all.
Yes, that’s it. Facebook has jumped the shark; it is now just one big chain email.
