lol yes that is a prime example right there.

They are my friend; because I clicked on them and that, then, therefore means that person is my friend.  Have you ever met them?  No, no; but we are friends, see, I have them there in the friend folder with my 5,023 friend buddies.  Click.  Oh! I have another friend!  By golly.

Hey!  That was my last wall post!!

It's not Twitter

[long live kong]

Ah Facebook! The place where vaguely familiar acquaintances and distant cousins exchange gushing, phony compliments and niceties with each other and then ignore each other when they pass in the street. I looked up my ex-girlfriend from college a while back just out of curiosity. I wish I hadn't. There was a look on her face that was something between sadness and bitter regret

You haven't bought skinny jeans since the Nixon administration.

I'm gonna be honest...I didn't sign myself up for Facebook- my daughter did, and I protested. But I love the fact that I can look at pictures of loved ones that they always used to say "Oh, I'll send you a picture of so and so, he/she has gotten so big and so cute"! Now, I can fawn over my little nieces, nephews, cousins, etc. without them having to figure out how to email or print out photos.  Other than that, I find Facebook a little confusing and I try to keep as few "friends" as possible.  I can't really get into too much trouble on there. The UMA however, somehow makes me feel comfortable enough to share my thoughts and opinions- and I apologize if I've ever creeped anyone out.  And I went to the mall today and bought some pajama jeans.

Yes, but all those people on Facebook don't like the Aurora monsters like we all do here!

Yes, but all those people on Facebook don't like the Aurora monsters like we all do here!

If they did, they'd all be here at the UMA instead of telling people they're "looking forward to lunch" (actual quote) and other earth-shattering news

I avoided FB for a long time, but now I have 50 (count'em, 50) friends!! 80% consists of my sisters, nieces & nephews, my son, daughter & wife.  I just recently got back in touch with a couple of friends I hadn't talked to in 30 plus years!!  We're gonna meet up the next time I get back to my hometown.  I'm kind of a heel, though, I suppose, coz there's a boatload of humanoids who I have NOT "friended"!

[Moonshadow]

I resisted Facebook for a long time, but when it became obvious that many of my friends and family were using it for communication (more so than email) I signed up. I agree with Charp, I enjoy seeing photos of the people I care about. The people I have "friended" are mostly friends and family, although I have added a few folks I don't actually "know" -a few are comics pros I've interviewed, a few are writers I enjoy, etc. But I don't delude myself that they are my buddies. I'm quite content with the 50 or so people on my account. I know plenty of people who have 1000 or so "friends." It seems like it is a contest for them.

Unfortunately a lot of people think that being on Facebook somehow makes them a celebrity -and given how easy it is to be a celebrity in this society, it's hard to blame them. Apparently they think we should all be interested in what they are having for lunch, or how tired they are, or that they just bought a new shirt. It's a bizarre, egotistical spectacle that I don't care to see. A few of my "friends" are now hidden for this reason.  Post an interesting idea; show a picture of a cool place you have been; share a fun link. But don't detail the minutiae of your day! NO ONE CARES!!
