i expressed my extreme displeasure with a service provider today and while i was not abusive or aggressive, i didn't pull my punches

it was strangely satisfying - might just do it a little more often

i hate facebook.
My only question is: if something wasn't broke in the first place, then why fix it?

nearly all




re. facebook, twidiot...i meant twitter, i am less and less a fan of faceless communication between friends and family

email is even becoming obsolete outside work applications, its sms, fb messages and twitter updates

i went through my fb friends list and worked out how many ppl of my 200+ list actually see/speak to me or have regular contact with me in some form of direct way (i.e. not a bulk email or message). My list dropped down to 37.

the only exception i made is my cousin who lives o/s - his twitter updates are fascinating - links to amazing art, literature and social issues from around the world.

i love technology and the internet. i grew up with a Commodore 64 and it was love at first sight. i'm very fond of this message board and the ppl i know here (in that odd close-but-far-away manner that you get to know ppl on the computer) so i'm not condemning how ppl access the net, just how they access me

when the primary way that ppl closest to me communicate is via a social networking site, it truly bothers me

give me a bbq on a sunny day by the sea with family and friends or a lazy lunch at our place on a Sunday, chatting and arguing and laughing.....can't put a price on that

maybe if i cld get ppl to pull their heads out of their arses AND facebook, then we cld enjoy those times more often

Personally, I only use facebook to keep in contact with friends on the other side of the world (ie: England).

It is annoying seeing all these people in the uni's computer lab on facebook, when you want to complete an assignment . . .
