reasons to hate facebook/myspace

[Cops]

deleting your account only to find out that facebook never deletes accounts, it still stores your information and brings it back as soon as you login.

[Cops]

people thinking that the only way to communicate or plan an event is through facebook, seriously ever heard of a fucking telephone you inpersonal jackasses.

people who you met completly drunk and spent literally five seconds talking to you adding you to facebook and talking about how sweet the party was, the mere fact that you never told this person your last name pretty much guarntees this person did a bit of creeping around to find out who you are.

well if you type in my first name, you will find me on the top of the list.

also certain networks and pictures will pretty much let the person know that this is the right person they met last night. Fuck maybe they thought you were interesting, but didn't get your number so they can only get in touch with you via facebook (fuck myspace)

This one especially does it for me.

no spell check on this computer, I really wish I could see my spelling errors.

I only started using facebook again when I realized people were getting mad at me for not showing up to stuff, but I didn't know about these events because I didn't have facebook. People in large groups of friends rely on a few people to do the majority of work when organizing shit, It's like people are all connected through 2-3 people and if someone forgets to make a phone call then no one else is going to do it, thus that person feels like no one wanted them there in the first place.

that's understandable, I've met some pretty cool people and I'm completely fine with getting to know them but I've run into instances where some random guy might have said 'what's up' to me at a party and then tried to add me on facebook the next day, it's not like we even had a conversation. I honestly feel like their trying to look cool by having tons of friends on facebook. People are able to find others through a mutual friend, not just pictures, so on some level it is snooping. I think facebook is just creepy to be honest, you can see what people are doing at any moment in time. It's pretty fucking disgusting. If I spend even a few minutes talking to someone then that's fine, but like I said, I've said 'hello' to people and then they later added me to facebook. It's not like I'm a cold hearted brute, it's that they had all night to talk to me and chose to just say hello so why on gods green earth would they want me on their facebook?

well i think it depends on how you use facebook - for me, it's a tool that lets me share ideas/media/etc, so all i do is usually post notes about whatever bullshit government thing happened that week or post news links. my wall is more or less a bunch of people who post asking if i've heard this or that album, and other such music-related discussion.

so i keep my social life offline, and facebook is just a convenient medium for networking. i might not know some guy who just added me, but (at least in my case), it's usually because someone was like "oh, here's a guy with interesting music/ideas, check his facebook out". it's always nice to be browsing people's pages and seeing your ideas spread. for instance, i've been posting speeches and articles by ron paul since forever (he's been featured on lewrockwell since i started reading it in 2002), so when he announced his campaign i got alot of random private messages asking me about him, his politics, etc. and thanks to that i met three or four dudes who definitely sell some awesome ganja so... facebook is awesome.

im suprised cops, well said. Yeah, some party i went to earlier this month some random dude who i only saw, i repeat, only saw at the party just added me. I was like .......wtf? So i just ignored it. I guess being friends on facebook doesn't really mean anything, just a kind of "ive-seen-u-before" thing.

[Pearl Jam]

Heh.

so let the record show that if you're a ron paul fanatic looking for dank herb, facebook fucking ROCKS

[Pearl Jam]

the fact that people that use these sites quite a bit are basically being allowed to be total creepster-stalkers

[Pearl Jam]

"hey jennifer is having a party in NYC but youre in DC so FUCK YOU"

i laughed at this

[Jerome Scuggs]

the entire premise of facebook was that people could 'network'. if you think it's creepy, then don't use it. i don't think it's creepy to browse for people who seem interesting on a website whose entire selling point is the ability to browse for people who are interesting.

edit: conversely, i think it did get creepy when they allowed everyone and their mother onto facebook. it's one thing when it's just college kids, but another when, say, your creepy sophomore english teacher adds you as a friend

[Heroin Bob]

it sounds like pearl jam is one of those kids who found his girls myspace open only to see she cheats on him with a guy with a bigger penis.

dont hate the social website, hate the game

easy, ladies. i like facebook and myspace for certain reasons and dislike it for others, this thread was mainly the product of a string of pretty blah threads over the past week. everybody uses it for different reasons. in the context of everyday life, however, these networking sites can be undeniably creepy and borderline stalkerish given the person using it.

heroin bob: you're 100% right, just like always
