Too Social

facebook.pngmyspace.pngI think we can all agree that FaceBook is way cooler than MySpace and there is quite possibly a good use to it. In fact I actually use FaceBook where as MySpace has never really been a thing for me.

There was always too much stuff everywhere and it just seemed easier to email than login. FaceBook on the other hand is really only a few steps ahead of MySpace and it’s only a little bit better.

Reality seems to be this. Most people are treating FaceBook just like they treated MySpace, and now have way to many things coming through to keep track of. People here and People there, and “oh my gosh that chick from HS, ah Crap! I’m not talking to that person…” Ignore

Have you let your FaceBook become another overly social attempt to stay connected with every person that you’ve ever known? So hey, if you find me on FaceBook and I ignore you, don’t take it personal. I’m just keeping things under control.

(and don’t you find it interesting that myspace has coined a description much like nintendo did back in the late 80′s)

  1. Hey Randy. I actually like that part of Facebook – being able to catch up and just be reconnected with anyone I remember ever knowing! Luckily for me, I don't have any negative baggage with anyone (that I know of), so I'm not afraid to talk to anybody that I remember. I do want to keep it to people I remember, though. If I got a request from someone I didn't recognize, I'd probably "ignore" them. The busy stuff I try to avoid is all the silly applications. Some people go crazy on those, but they are just too distracting for me.

    Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving.

  2. Actually I like it for that same reason, I think my beef is that I've been getting requests from people I remember from HS, but have no intension of actually talking to.

    It's nice to know they're out there, but I don't want to turn old friends into spam.
