PW: Bitstrips?

Have you ladies seen the "Bitstrips" on FB?
What the heck are they and what are their purpose??

Re: PW: Bitstrips?

  • I've seen a lot of them just in the past week. I have no clue what they are or what their purpose is. Guess that means I'm not hip to the trends!

  • I was just about to ask this on FB because like @uptowngirl2009 said, EVERYONE has them and it just started in the last week or so.

    then I dropped my cane. Damn kids and their "trends".
  • I'm hating all of the bitstrips!

  • I'm glad I'm not the only one. So I asked about them, and apparently that's all they are: little comic strips that you can create with other people on your friends list who also have the avatars. :shrugs: yeah I don't see the point.

    I haven't seen these, based on this description. I guess no one I know has these avatars and does this.

    Give it a couple more weeks. No, wait. I'll make some and spam the crap out of your FB. LOL jay-kay.
  • I've only seen one person who has them, but I don't really get them. I'll hide the app if it gets too annoying (it's an app, right?)

  • It's just a fun little app that lets you make comic photos with your friends. They serve no purpose but to amuse yourself and others lol

  • I started playing with them months ago and then it got boring.  I think they can be cute ONCE IN A WHILE, but some of my friends post nothing but bitstrips all. day. every. day. and it's getting really old really fast. 
    imageimage
  • They're SO annoying... Not amusing at all, at least none of the ones I've seen (which is like every 3rd thing on my FB feed. Especially when it's a grown man making every other one he makes about farting. Not funny. Just dumb.

    In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!
