Why facebook why?

Hey Awesometownies,

It’s been a while since my last post, but I really haven’t had a good idea for something to blog about. This week I think I will vent my frustrations and pet peeves about the wonderful world of the social networking sensation that is facebook. I think it’s safe to assume that everyone who reads our blog has a facebook account, and if they don’t this blog will be pointless to them. So if that’s you, you should stop reading this and spend a minute out of your life and get caught up with the rest of America.

Since I’ve had facebook I’ve watched it blossom from a small website of college kids into the face of a new generation. It has taken over myspace and is now the king of the social networking world. Since the creation of it we have seen many new changes and upgrades or downgrades to what it is now, but no matter how many times they change the format or add new features, some d-bags will always find a way to keep it down. I will share some of my findings that make me cringe and sometimes wonder about what the future has in store.

1. I can’t stand people who have a stupid nickname where their middle name would be. You ether have a middle name or you don’t it’s that simple. I mean how many kids out there can have the middle name “shots” or “noonecallsmethisbutiwishtheywould.” I wish there was a lie detector for things like this so you would start seeing more realistic nicknames like, John “I’m a d-bag” Smith or Jane “Slut” Doe. If you are reading this and you have a stupid nickname as your middle name you should probably change it or do the rest of the world a favor and kill yourself, if your luck your nickname might make it on to your tombstone.

2. This isn’t so much facebook as it is technology in general, but I think that kids really do not know how to spell anymore. Granted I make mistakes here and there, but kids now days have something I didn’t have when I was growing up…spell check. I was lucky enough to be in the generation right before the bell curve took a turn for the worse. Internet chat and cell phones didn’t become popular until I knew basic grammar function, and proper spelling. Kids now have grown up with a language of their own, which involves laziness and slurring of speech. Example; wassup dawg u c that girl 2day she was so hawt I bet she wuld prly be my gurlfren if I axd her. Aight homie ill chck u l8r. Now I’m not sure when ignorance actually started but I am sure that it is getting out of hand. I think the only solution to this, is to have everyone take a spelling and grammar test before they are allowed to get a cell phone or use the internet. F u think u are prly part of the problem u shuld do the rest of the wrld a fvor and kil urself.

3. People using their facebook status as a way to vent. I can’t stand this at all, some people always have negative things to say on their statuses. Blah blah blah my day is going bad, blah blah blah this isn’t the way it’s supposed to be. Well you will get no sympathy from me, if you want to complain get a blog or write it in your journal don’t waste your facebook status on something looking for a self esteem booster. You are not the only one that has bad days, everyone does but you can either share it with the rest of the world and feel sorry for yourself or you can talk about it with one of your friends, that’s why you have them. I would tellyou o kill yourself but you might actually do it so save it for a rainy day, and start putting thing up that make you happy.

4. The news feed and the stupid shit facebook has decided to put on it. I really don’t about how people’s farms are doing or if their mafia had new members join. I don’t even play those games what makes you think that I would be so interested to see how other people are doing in them. That would be like me having a ticker on my computer or TV that shows the scores to all the cricket matches taking place, it means absolutely nothing to me, it serves me no purpose. Facebook news feed guys, go kill yourselves maybe someone will make a cool app about you.

5. Facebook chat. You have spent so many times changing the layout of the website to make it more user friendly. You don’t even tell us the layout is changing you just lay it on us and let us figure it out. Even though you must get so much negative feed back every time you do this. Now this doesn’t bother me that much but I always see a lot of people complain. Lets be honest, we grew up in the age of technology, if you can’t figure out how to operate a new lay out to facebook you should probably kill yourself. The thing that I hate about all these changes is that facebook has a team of people to brainstorm on how they can make things easier and they spend all their time on that when they need to fix a simple glitch in the program which is facebook chat. This thing is a crap shoot, you never know what’s going to happen. You’ll be talking to someone and the automatically disconnected, am I still on dial up? Did some one call the house and kick me off the internet? Why is it that AIM and ICQ could do this and they are far older than you facebook. Facebook chat members you should probably do the world a favor an go kil

Sorry I got cut off in that last sentence. These are just a couple of things that bother me about facebook, do you have anything that bothers you, well lets here about it. There is a lot more stuff out there that I didn’t mention, but I thought 5 would be more than enough to read about me bitching.

Until next time,

Timbo
