With social networking sites growing larger every day, more and more people are relying on sites to inform everyone of their doings. When checking Facebook I do not need to know that you have eaten, used the bathroom, got a crazy haircut, tried standing on your head and it didn't go well, and so on. It is no that secret people abuse the status update feature. Currently Facebook has two hundred million users, out of these users one hundred million log on and use Facebook everyday. Twenty million of all the users on Facebook update their statuses once a day. Think about it. That alone is twenty million new status about Mittens your cat and that crazy thing the kid you are babysitting did. Now that's thinking hopefully that people only post one status a day but we are kidding ourselves if we believe that. People update close to on the hour and because of it my newsfeed is overloaded with obnoxious information. Please for all of us I don't care that you ate a bad mango if you need to let everyone know what you are up to get a Twitter.

this link allows for you to go into your Facebook and see how often you update your status, what words you use the most, and what the most popular thought you repetitively inform us of.
Totally agree. Kind of hate facebook not just because of the absurd things people think others would have any sort of interest in, but also the general obsession with it and over use, the way social interaction has been taken out of actually interacting with people - like creeping on someone's profile and thinking you know something about them. Also hate when people post like 20 pictures of themselves doing the same thing. That's a major WHO CARES
ReplyDeleteI could not agree more. As a Facebook addict I become infuriated by this every day. I'm so sick of seeing these pointless statuses on my news feed and it seems to be the SAME people every time.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with how much people use facebook and update their statuses every second of every day. People tell their whole life story and frankly, I do not care. It gets so annoying!
ReplyDeletehahah this is absolutely perfect. I don't need to know every time a person is taking a shower or how pissed they are that they have an 8:30 class in the morning. If these people were to bring up the stupid statuses they post on facebook into a face-to-face conversation they would likely get hired by Dos Equis for being "the least-interesting man on the planet".
