A Quick Tip by RabidChihuahua

  • Jun 8, 2012
  • by
While this is convenient for finding and keeping in touch with old friends (or contacting people whom you don't have email addresses or phone numbers to contact with) or rapidly sending out survey questionairres for a college project, I hardly ever log on to Facebook due to the layout changes and clunky messaging system.

Also, I can't help but notice the unhealthy trend of people ONLY using Facebook to interact with others and the fact that so many are pouring in hours and hours of their lives over their FB statuses. With the issues relating to privacy-breaching, that's why I've posted practically nothing on my page, other than a Simpsonized picture of myself.

Ok, first I have to ask because...I just do: did you share this QT on Facebook? :D I have been on the fence about FB for a long time. Practically speaking, I don't have much of a use for things like that. Heck, I haven't even logged into Twitter because most of my feeds are website news, and not really for interacting with other users. But I do know that a lot of my family, and my old friends from high school are on FB. On one hand I feel like it would be nice to reconnect with them, but on the other I just have literally nothing to say to any of them.

I haven't shared this QT on FB, just because I'm too much of an unmotivated slob to go on that website LOL. Anyway, if you feel that you don't really have much to say to family and old friends, then you can probably go without signing up to Facebook.  I have connections to a bunch of old friends, but I hardly talk to them due to the fact that I just don't have much to say to them.

Yeah, I tell you, I've shook my head to many folks I know hopping on about them going to the dentist, and other unnecessary bullshit that leaves me thinking, "why?". I think most of these folks just didn't get enough attention before this shit started, and now they just think their lives are so important everyone must know what they're doing 24/7. Pathetic.

Well said. I can't believe there's people that actually think people give a shit if you're buying shoes at the nearest Shoe Carnival or some other trivial crap like that.

It seemed inevitable that a person who had made more friends online than off over the past 20 years would find her way to Facebook, but the question is--what took her so damned long? Well, I had heard all the bad things about FB (the hacking, privacy invasion, etc.) and none of the good things. I'd been receiving those "Hey why don't you join Facebook?" emails for a year or two and kept ignoring them.     Finally, in July 2010, I drove back to Alexandria, Virginia, my old stomping …

When sharing can get out of hands!
Is there anyone who is still not on Facebook by now? Yes! Many of my personal friends. Having said that, they are possibly the minority rather than the majority in the world now.      So, I'll keep this short and simple. My take on Facebook.   I had an account on it for many years but I hardly logged in. The main reason being I don't really know a great many who are on it and I was residing in China for the last 4 years, I was logged out of it. It's banned!   …

When I first created my Facebook profile, I did so in order to communicate with a few people who I met on the old (and seemingly ancient) Yahoo 360 social network. I had become quite good virtual friends with them and didn't want to lose touch with them whenever 360 shut down.    I believed that those few select people (six friends total), would be my entire world on Facebook. Soon enough, however, I started getting friend requests from people I hadn't seen since high school …

I know a bubble when I see one!
This review is about Facebook as a stock rather than a social media site. It's about business!      Facebook had its IPO listed on Nasdaq last friday (May 18) making Mark Zuckerberg a $20 billion man! He rang in the bell for Nasdaq opening & his own wedding the next day (May 19). That makes Mark Zuckerberg not just the richest 28 year old on the planet but also the luckiest guy in the world!!!            So much about Mark Zuckerberg. …

I held out on getting a Facebook, despite being invited, until I was in college. I loved the layout and the ability to connect with people at my college. There were groups set up so I could meet people in my dorm, and major before I even got to college. I liked the exclusivity of it, I felt that it really separated itself from other networking sites since it was just for college students.    Then it was opened up to everyone. I cringed when highschoolers were now friend requesting …

Global phenomenon? Yes. A scourge of every day life? Absolutely. Here's why you should follow my example and pull the plug on Zuckerberg's narcissistic ego-porn site.      So today I took the leap and unfriended myself from Facebook, which is ironic considering that I spend a major part of my time helping clients buy social media advertising - it's like being the drug dealer who won't touch the stuff. And it does strangely feel like I've disconnected …

Social Networking has, for the most part, become a part of our everyday lives.  It's still in its infancy, though.  For most of us sites like Friendster and Myspace got us started in Social Networking, while other sites such as Amazon have adapted to becomeing more social networking like in a time that it's a big thing.  Yet when it comes to social networking no website stands out more than Facebook.  This is for several reasons.  Facebook has become a social networking …

review by . November 08, 2009
I realized very shortly after setting up my facebook account that I’d gotten myself into deep trouble. It was September, a little over a year ago. I found my thoughts racing, and usually heading straight back to my friend list. I obsessed over my profile even when I was doing other things; I remember going running by the lake and wondering almost the whole while which Elliott Smith quote defined me as a person. I learned to love chatting with three people at a time—when I’d see …

Ouch!!! 40% LOSS for investors in its first 10 days of trading on the NASDAQ! More if you bought at the height of around $45 on its listing day!!!      I wrote a review of it (I know a bubble when I see one!) on the weekend after its listing looking for a price range of $25-28! It recorded a low of $26.83 yesterday (May 31) before a technical rebound at the close!       So, what's next?!
