FB Vent

Ok I just need to vent.  Seriously, FB has had every color game possible (so it seems), "If you have the best......repost this as your status", and now this stupid numbers game. If you want to tell someone what you think about them, then just tell them. 

C'mon really?  I don't mean to offend anyone if you participate in these (which from what I have seen, most of you don't),  but it is all driving me crazy! 

One more thing non FB related, what is with the pop up advertisements on The Nest now?

Ok Vent over. (Takes deep breath) Happy Thursday.

Re: FB Vent

  • I'm of the theory that those things are stupid too. I totally lost it over the cartoons to fight child abuse (yay! All we fixed it guys - all through nostalgia). The whole numbers game just strikes me as juvenile. Some people know who you're talking about. Some don't. Hello junior high!
  • I was going to respond "I hate Facebook"... but actually, I hate stupidity. Totally agree with you!

  • I love the people that try to fight the stupidity.  Several people from TK that I have on my FB started a thing to "Save the dinosaur's" and change your profile pic to that of a dinosaur.  And the latest mockery is to message them your credit card number, expire date and security number and they'll post which bill they paid with it.

    The whole thing is just stupid. I die a bit inside when I see a cartoon as someone's profile picture.

    We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?

  • Maybe I'm just not paying attention, but I haven't even noticed these!  I guess no harm done, since I think they're silly anyways and wouldn't participate.

  • I hate when people get all in a tizzy over comments on facebook (not this post...i agree it's annoying). It's supposed to be a social network, fun, chatting with friends, etc. I got yelled at once for making a sarcastic comment to someone. Really?

    I have to say, though, that with as much as I moved around, it's the best way I've ever kept in touch with people from my past. I'm very grateful for that. Otherwise, I could really care less about it.

    I agree with that.  I have caught up with some old friends that I haven't talked to since HS and I do love that. =)

  • I love facebook. I have no problem with the entity itself. It's the memes I take issue with. And I worry, with a lot of them, that people mistake posting something in their status with actually participating in an issue and attempting to solve it.

    Totally don't get that. I think FB is a place to snark and be snarked on; then again, I only use it for tongue-in-cheek updates, anyway.

    I never participate in the memes, either. Just don't see the point.

  • I don't participate in any of those FB update games.  I'm an equal opportunity hater, at least.  I didn't put my bra colour or my purse position - I don't even see how those raise awareness.

    Thankfully I've not even seen any of my friends playing the number game.

    One thing I LOVE about FB..following trainwrecks!  I have a few people who are just such a complete mess or total drama queens that I love seeing their updates.

  • I just noticed last week that one of my trainwrecks deleted me!  Shocking.

    One of the things I really hate on FB is when people add ME and then when I accept, they don't even say hi or anything.  Why did you even add me?
