Flaws of Facebook

In no certain order I shall rant about what bugs me about Facebook. I am perhaps guilty of some of the things but a lot of you are also as well. Here we go..

If almost every post talks about your "boo" "love" or how great and perfect your man/husband, girlfriend/wife is, knock it off it makes people wanna puke. Facebook is a great way to create a façade for everyone on how great your life is but we all know that sometimes it's a bunch of bullshit. When you do flood about how great the new love of your life is and once I have vomited from reading repeat posts, I also of course will be waiting for it to slowly implode!

If you get robbed because you have told the world where you are every minute of the day, you deserve it! If I was a crook I would have my Blackberry on Facebook and follow status updates of those of you that had money. If you are posting that you are going to a concert that gives me enough time to stop on over to your house and grab a few things! If you are publicizing a vacation, you better have a house sitter! You don't think in the world of mobile internet people aren't already doing that?

If your posts and replies end up being just between you and your significant other and you may be replying to each other while you are both home at the same time, please see a shrink! Make sure to include any photo albums of Farmville, Yoville that you may have posted as well.

There is nothing wrong with playing internet games. But when your wall is flooded with the "progress" you been making on said games and nothing else I'm afraid if I did post a "hi" you wouldn't see it anyways. Who has that much time?

I am glad you are able to be the Top Dog in Mafia Wars. Let's take a field trip to Gary Indiana sometime and see if that will help ya any.

Speaking of hi, most of us hide each other's "feeds" making interaction less and less. A random "hi" or "hello" wouldn't be such a bad thing. But if you are busy in your perfect life with your perfect partner I could see how that might be a task to some. If I post a "hi" or whatever and you are too cool or busy to reply back I will delete you and you won't even be paying attention to notice it.

The incomplete status update prompting your friends to reply with "what's wrong" "what happened" "is everything ok" gets old after a while. And not everything should be for public Facebook consumption. It makes ya look like a whack job after a while!

The constant changing of "single/in a relationship" info makes you look just as nuts.

Ok I'm done, time to post to everyone that isn't paying attention that I updated my blog…
