I will actually do that if it's someone I like and they're not always doing it because obviously something is wrong. But the sort of person who does it all the time? No thanks!

True, but if it was that bad I dont think I would actually want to post it on facebook. Yes to telling close friends and family but no thanks to telling all and sundry.

A guy I went to school with has posted on facebook today that he is expecting a baby with his girlfriend. A few congratulation responses later and his ex-girlfriend and also the mother of his existing child has said 'You could have told me." Think about these things before you splash them all over facebook you moron!

Did she say it on Facebook? Is that not just as bad?

Really annoys me too, but then I keep myself to myself anyway so facebook is not too different. Unlike some of my dear colleagues at work who insist on giving every little detail about what is going on in their lives and how they watched a whale being disected on tv last night. Shut up dammit!!

Tis all

Not being a Facebook (MySpace, Twitter, Friendster, etc.) user, I admit that I get a certain amount of sick pleasure out of news stories that detail people getting fired or served with divorce papers over things they've foolishly posted on these sites. The way I see it, nothing posted on these sites is (truly) private. Just last night there was a report on Bloomberg that detailed how people found it curious that emails in their Gmail inboxes were accompanied by ads that picked up on keywords in their "private" mails. That little slime, Zuckerberg (and the Google "Don't Be Evil" guys), is just suckering people into putting as many personal details about themselves as possible online, so he can up his ad rates. It's a brilliant strategy... just one that I refuse to willingly be a part of. I know they've got me in other ways. So be it. But at least I'm going to make them work a little harder to harass me.

I've got this one guy who seems to post melodramatic stuff about 70% of the time. Not quite sure what is wrong with his life but why the hell whine about it ALL the damn time?

Melodramatic Facebook posters are simply an extension of their family, which were the melodramatic forum posters. Drama queens and kings, lost in the lack of reality that cyberspace allows them.

I prefer to talk to a person face to face or pick up the phone. I have no want for any social phony sites, IMs, text messages, or anything else that tries to be personal in such an impersonal way.

I just deleted about 30 people from my Facebook.

Just got tired of their stupid posts and constant negative attitude.

Sadly some people just don't get it. I'm on fb but I don't really have much on there at all. I don't even have my last name on there. When I got my new phone recently it pulled all the details of my FB friends down from fb and a lot of them have phone numbers and a whole lot more on facebook
