In fact, I can’t think of a single person on my facebook friends list who isn’t and attention whore. Everyone wants to be popular. Few people realize it when they look fucking pathetic.

No kidding…and then there are the people who have “fan pages” about them. The nerve of these attention whores!

Why did they create a fan page? Are they anything special? Do they do something interesting?

Chenky, I think it’s cuz the person that created it is secretly a lesbo (NTTAWWT) and is in love with her.

For the record, I am not a fan of this page… but you are, aren’t you? [/quote]

I drank kool aid and joined some crazy fan page

I am not entirely sure if this is joking around or serious lol

I must be a fan of this page is this page yours :wink:

The chick who created the fan page to which Court refers would totally lez out with the subject of the fan page.

At least, that’s the rumor.

I use facebook nearly exclusively to insult my friends and keep in touch with women.

I respond all the time to people’s updates, even those I don’t know that well, with sarcastic remarks… it’s to the point where I think that if people don’t know me that well in real life, they delete me cause I’m such a douche.

It’s fun to crush people’s narcissism.

Are the names of the fan page creator and the fan page subject releaseable?

Hit me up woman.

Facebook is getting old, although the one feature I do find very useful is when making events. Makes it easier for a bunch of good friends to organize/plan trips and whatnot.

My favorite activity on facebook is to use the “Like” feature inappropriately, usually on updates that are obvious ploys for attention and/or complaining. Unless it’s like “RIP grandpa”

Ok, so I have a facebook account. I like it, it lets me stay in touch with some people I don’t see on a regular basis and communicate and make plans more efficiently.

Most people can handle the concept of facebook. But there are some people who update idiotic shit. They reinforce my already low opinion of them at an hourly rate.

for instance (taken from my facebook page):“So I made a bold move and foolishly tried to use the “gps” on my wizard phone…then I’m told where I’m located does not exist. Obviously now I’m driving aimlessly through this mythically land of …”

Now this particular person obsessively “posts updates” through out the day. I can’t recall anything posted by this person that’s been life altering to anyone. There are a few more people who let everyone know that they’re “feeling … uhm … ok.” Really? You thought that all 237 “friends” you have are dying to know that you’re “feeling … uhm … ok”?

Are people really that egocentric that they have to post up on EVERYTHING they’re doing as if their word keeps the sky from crashing down on us? They talk about bodybuilders being narcissists; I have a few friends from here on facebook and they don’t post HALF as much useless shit as my non-TN friends. And we’re supposed to be the narcissists?

And twitter. Don’t get me started on twitter. That website is about 99% useless trash. That’s a fucking narcissists DREAM. Let’s see how much useless drivel I can do in a day, post about it, and see what mindless losers will “follow” me.

Seriously, get over yourselves for a second, stop posting about the mocha-capa-latte frappechino dipped biscotti that was so amazing you just to rave about to the 1,000,000,000 teenage zombies that are so afraid of the sun that they waste their day watching Hills reruns on demand (thanks GB), texting their friends how fab LC’s hair looks, how much sugar flavored shit alcohol they drank last night and how high their tolerance is, and reading “twits” posted by the celebutwat that’s the most “in” and the moment.

I might be being a bit too critical. Like I said earlier facebook and twitter do have their good points. I mean the majority of the media coverage we have from Iran right now isn’t coming from the on-the-ground in the thick of the riot reporting but from actual demonstrators twittering their fucking heads off until the local fascists kick in their door and beat them until their heads actually fall off. But the use of this media is too few an far between for me to think it’s actually beneficial to the betterment of human society.

I don’t know, maybe I’m just ranting to rant. Could be. Maybe I should just shut the fuck up and think of something better. I think I’ll do just that, but first I’m going to watch a bootleg pirated copy of The Hangover. I’ll tweet you what I think of it.[/quote]
my age: 16
tbh I hate twitter with a moderately warm passion. I like facebook, but have grown accustomed to glancing at the news feed, then notifications, then requests, and finally events.
that usually finishes it all up for the day. I nearly never post status updates, because i dont have anything of value to put up there.

anyone hated when people had to invite others to use an app before they themselves could use it? God that was annoying. Having double a’s in my first name didnt help, so everyday, 50+ invites to delete.

yup
first time i saw that was on something i wanted to “dislike”
but there wasnt a button.

Stupid facebook mobile. I cannot view my fan pages.

Would it not be the “dislike” button?

hah what a coincidence…

I have a bunch of friends from Louisiana and all fucking year they always update their status’s to 'GEAUXXX Tigers!".

It’s extremely annoying.

So in my status I said how annoyed I am with all this “GEAUXXX Tigers!” crap and then I see this thread.

Good timing Polo my good man.

I use it to get laid. So far it sucks. ha

I stopped posting much on certain peoples when my cousin wrote something about feeling ‘down’ and I asked him about it. He acted like I asked an intrusive question. Bite me. Sorry. Maybe that’s incest.

It’s nice for organizing things. It was great leading up to nationals. It’s also been a great source of contacts for people in this sport that I wouldn’t otherwise meet. For example, one of Dianab’s friends in Arizona friended me and this resulted in a new tenant for me in Hamilton.

This is how it looks —

Dianab (Montreal)
Her friend - powerlifter (Arizona)
refers his friend - mma fighter as tenant (Hamilton)

I have a new tenant.

x2 shit tootles, pull yourself together…

Myspace was to meet chicks and add people you know. Then when myspace got too young everybody jumped to facebook because really, facebook is myspace for the adult. I think that people generally want to just keep in touch with FB and thats why it grew. As to the OP, it is the EXACT reason that I hate hearing about twitter and why fb annoys me sometimes. I dont need to know that you just washed your car and it looks clean. Its a little on the narcesessic side

I created a FB page so I could make it easier for certain individuals to contact me along with many others at once. Co-workers are always like “Did you get my message on your Facebook page…” and seem so disappointed when I tell them I never go to that thing. I don’t text or live on my cell, either. Anyone who knows me knows to talk to me when they see me set up a meeting if they want to communicate elsewhere.

I’m not anti-technology, just anti-junk.
