Don’t do this to me! I’ve got Virb loaded in another tab, but I’m not looking at it until this is done!
Myspace… horrible. But everyone I knew was on it.
Then facebook. Actually kinda cool, and even more people I know are on it.
Virb. I bet it’s the best thing since sliced bread. But convincing all my friends from Facebook to get over onto it… ack… I dunno… That’s the problem with all of these social networks…

How about last.fm? It’s music oriented and doesn’t proclaim on it’s homepage to work with iTunes (only).

Oh and facebook is exactly what you called it. I might be tempted to feel a little out of the loop because I’ve never received an invite, but quite frankly that’s not a loop I’d like to jump into. Too many concrete walls to hit at high speed.

ha ha, whatever yo, you’re just upset you didn’t get there first ;)

[...] Interestingly, Julien Smith posted a little while back that he thought Facebook was shit, and that he was using Virb instead. Personally I happen to be on both, but I think that Julien’s comment “see you in six months” might be very prescient… Facebook could indeed be crushed under the weight not of poor design, but of bad behaviour. It will be interesting to see what happens. [...]

it reduces us all to ciphers and ghosts of ourselves. it alienates and isolates us from real human contact. while you are there tapping away uploading tedious pics of dull parties and trips there are real humans outside your door. its hard to find people who think as i do, but humans are so much more than this shallow simulcrum of real life. 21st media existence is a loss of ourselves in the shadows of cyberspace whoredom and we enter this pool of shit at the cost of our souls. am i freak? do i care? live free babies

Came across this [dis][cuss]ion bit late but am with ’shadow’ 100 percent. I’ve had a few bad experiences, including on dating websites (administrators are evil) and am in no way gonna register on Facebook. Could do it on a less personal note, no photos and all that but just can’t be bothered. I hope I meet my soulmate in the shopping aisle..
Am registered on MySpace for music and it’s alright. It takes time to build up some good contacts and to share ideas, swap and create. Some of the big artists annoy me because they are purely on there for commercial gain. I got contacted by a few but really, they’re not looking for friendship, just your custom…
Apart from networking websites becoming saturated, things lose their novelty quite quickly nowadays, or, they just get filled up with timewasters, narcissists or people with devious intentions.
Sorry ’bout doom and gloom but sometimes you have to learn the hard way. Somehow, somewhere there will be a backlash, the internet social networking bubble will burst, and hopefully we’ll all get our social skills back and not be so fuckin’ ‘fraid of each other!

i agree that facebook is shit. I have just been kicked off by an administrator for asking to many people to be my friend i have argued and argued with them and they just basically tell me to f off.
They were great before they got to big and then they become massive (which they are) and they dont give a shit about anyone. The bigger they get the more crap they put on there like sending a beer and the other 16000 applications that clog up your system!
I think there should be a website out there boycot facebook lol

February 11th, 2009 at 3:15 pm
You’re right, FB is complete garbage, bloody waste of time and a stalker/ hacker’s dream come true.
March 25th, 2009 at 3:45 pm
Facebook is pure unfiltered Shit! Oh I live in a air bubble called facebook, which is great because it fits into my air filled head…look at me..la di da! Brain dead, egotistical backward people populate FARCEbook. Hey I took a shit I’ll take a picture and put it up on fecesbook and it’ll prove I’m such a popular person with a high social stature. GET A F**KING LIFE YOU RETARDS oh wait you can’t you’re so socially inept the whole concept of communication is a foreign language known only to the high monks of the holy scrag! If you haven’t guessed I’m Pissed OFF!

FACEBOOK IS FUCKING SHIT..END OF DISCUSSION
September 18th, 2009 at 12:54 pm
Yes, im agree with you all, facebook its for narcisive people, for idiots posting their photos doing stupid things, yeah its for preppies who wants some atention..and i say FUCK that FUCK facebook FUCK mark zukerberg, FUCK the people who live more in facebook than in real life.., i dont wanna atenttion, i dont wanna expose mi private life, i dont want to be critizese, i dont wanna have more “friends” than you, i dont wanna look at your profile, i add you as a friend..YOu are NOT my friend..i dont even know the most people that suggest the facebook as a “friend”..so?are you convinced to not have a facebook yet?
October 5th, 2009 at 2:30 pm
I think facebook is full of technical fuck ups and it is an excuse for horrible people to prey on others… But I must confess. I do have a facebook account.. Purely for the reason that I’m from the South East of England yet I live in the North West and also have friends in Scotland.. It just helps me keep in touch with those I wouldn’t be able to speak to otherwise, what with modern technology being so expensive!! I’d rather log on to a website than pay hundreds of pounds for a phone bill or travel costs!
If I want an intelligent conversation with someone I’ll get off my arse and see them face to face, so I do think Facebook is overrated!
Blessed Be xxx

FACEBOOK IS A BIG SHIT! DELETE IT!
October 23rd, 2009 at 3:05 am
Signed up to Facebook almost three weeks ago. Two teenage sisters I know converse and communicate on there;
sister A : “think you should make me a cuppa tea”
sister B makes sister A a cup of tea “you owe me one”
sister A “think I should dye my hair”
sister B “I like it the way it is”
They’re living in the same house, sitting in their bedroom!!

Facebook is for boring cocks who have no life. In fact all netwroking sites are for sad lonely fuckers with no life.
A bit like you really.

DEATH TO FACEBOOK
April 12th, 2010 at 10:41 am
I seriously agree, but facebook is total bullshit. Useless crap, a place for idiotic dickheads. Thank you.
June 30th, 2010 at 9:29 am
I cannot believe how stupid the human race has become. Facebook? It’s just a stupid website. Personally I prefer to have complete access to the entire internet, not just confine myself to facebook.
August 24th, 2010 at 8:28 am
Hey,
I have to agree. Reason being, Facebook and other soical networking sites are the ideal place for narcicissts to come out and play, all they wanna do all day long is post pics of themselves, check their facebook in between dealing with the kids, talk about themselves all day. You get the picture. Things like “I’m away for a bath now”, “my son done this that and the next thing today”, “I’m sleepy”, who gives a shit the world doesn’t revolve around you and noone needs to talk about themselves all the time, I mean seriously. Facebook like the others is shit.
