Facebook

Facebook. How that name sullies my tongue. I do not believe what is the hub-dub all about it. It is just another networking site. And what do networking sites hold for me? Networking site = Random useless infomation + time wastage.

Currently, with the new revamp of facebook, they have introduced all sorts of lil thingies that feed you, well, feeds, every other second, every other minute, every other hour, every other hour; if you get my point. I do not want to know what have you scored in blah game, in blah quiz.

Quiz.

Another one of the site's devious creations. Useless tests set to 'test' you on your intelligence on certain specific things. Like DOTA? What character are you? Why the bloody heck do I want to find out? So what if I do? I just don't get the point! I've got better things to do if you ask me.

Again, games.

Granted, the games there are great, so great until some of my friends treat the site as a gaming site rather. Digressing...

I don't see the point of Facebook. Or any other social website. Social is to interact, to interact with fellow human beings. I don't see how comparing results from a certain game or tagging each other's boards help in any interaction. It is just a computer, a stoic screen. I'd prefer the good ole method of verbally, verbally guys, talking if you still remember how is it done. They say it builds it good social network without stepping out of the house. I say seeing is believing.

Friends.

So what if you've got 13024 friends on facebook? Do you know them? Do you know their lives? Can you share your innermost feelings with them? No? Then they are not friends. I've got a small circle of whom I consider friends, less than twenty if you were wondering, but I can share things, little facets of life that you'll never hear or find out on any social website or other.

There. I've said my piece, if you'll excuse me, I'll say Facebook ain't worth your time.

A mark of a successful social being is having a small but true circle of friends. Not having a large army of apes that do nothing to help you when you're in need.

So leave that computer! And venture into the world beyond!
