Weird gray cartoon man with yellow teeth talks about Facebook, making me think, though I was excited at first, today I feel like blowing up my neglected page because I just looked at it and there’s 10-15 people requesting friendships, 10-15 people from high school that I don’t even remember and somehow it’s all giving me a strong panic sensation…
Oh, and I’m definitely not going to start Twittering. EVER.
You don’t owe them an explanation if you don’t confirm their request. Are they going to make you feel that bad when you go back to your hometown on visits? Is that the worse that could happen? Or is it that anguishing? Were you stoned?
I ain’t never gonna use that newfangled telemophone talkybox no way no how! *grumbles a bit about kids and how they won’t get off mah lawn*
“Pointless Internet Argument Forums”… is this guy on Slog?
Darth Vader is on facebook?
Facebook is awesome for figuring out which quiet girls in high school actually harbored secret crushes. It’s 20 years later and we’re all happily (?) married, but it’s still a nice little zing the day.
OMG Kelly, exactly my sentiment.
I’ve been on facebook for a short time. It’s not very good for people who don’t want to have lunch with the ghosts of co-defendants past.
I like the news flash/sound bite stuff of Twitter, but I forget to check it most of the time. I think when people want to blog their thoughts out, Twitter isn’t what people have in mind, unless you put it all in shorthand.
Um, just decline the friend requests you don’t want to accept. Problem solved.
@2 Facebook is not the new telephone nor is it analogous. Facebook is superfluous bullshit and anti-soul food for the narcissist and/or exhibitionist and/or voyeur in all of us. It’s not revolutionizing the way people communicate; it’s just prettied-up email. Just think about it this way, if you had to pay for facebook like a phone, no one would use it.
The more I learn about my friends on Facebook, the less I want to know.
Heck, I’ve got 24 people on my not-yet-friended list that I have no idea who the heck they are.
A little Mr. Manners advice: when requesting to friend someone on Facebook, tell them how you know them, and if you’re one of those facebook stalkers, just say “I need more friends and I chose you at random” or something.
I’ll tell that 67-year-old man I was talking to earlier that, apparently, he’s not the only one who doesn’t “get” Facebook or Twitter. Thanks!
he should have been a nick park animation. the voice and format just seemed better suited to park.
You don’t have to add your school to your profile. I don’t want those folks faces on my computer. I do want to see my friends from back home, though.
And I agree on twitter. That’s just silly.
The Muhammed bit was hysterical. You have to pause it to catch the brilliance.
