I wonder if we’re now past the stage where we can live our lives without Facebook? How easy would it be for you to pull that plug? Can you ever imagine life without your FB account? Or not being able to see what XYZ’s updates are for the day?
Shouldn’t you be worried that you’re actually hesitant about quitting FB? Afterall, it’s information readily available online about you, written by yours truly.
I have to say, I am actually quite bored of FB. What? you might think…yeah right.. Because you see me online everyday? Well, my mobile fb is..so I am not having my eyes stuck like glue to the screen of my laptop waiting for someone to reply to my FB status. As much as one is able to set the privacy levels, you must know if it’s online, someone will somehow be able to get your info. There are afterall many ways to attain fb information.
Here’s my grievances about fb. You will always have a fair number of friends on your list who would love to put up every single picture they have. You have friends who must update every second of their lives on fb and then there’s some who just cannot stop requesting that you join their mob game. Fair enough to these people. I have absolutely no problems. I have no control over what they do . It is afterall their own account right? Right.
Now here’s the crunch.. then there are some who pester you to add other people, join their group, update pictures of you. I don’t know how else to say this but I feel violated. The mere thought of people actually forgetting their manners albeit e-ettiquette just makes it awkward! Ask once and if nothing happens, TAKE THE HINT. Badgering people to add you/your friends from Mars is pathetic. If they say No thank you, then you LEAVE it at that! Not.. reply going..oh why not? But bla bla bla bla.. How about? you get real? It’s ONLY FB FFS!
Another thing that really grinds my gears is when people EXPECT me to know what they have recently updated on FB and then got annoyed when I don’t know what the hell they’re talking about. I’m not sorry cause I’m not paid to check updates on FB. My9-5 requires me to check my email and correspond. I get paid for that. I don’t get paid to respond to your stupid banter if I feel it’s lame or simply missed out on your update. If it’s not urgent enough to warrant a phone call or email then in all honesty it’s just fun crap isn’t it? If someone doesn’t feel comfortable about the picture you posted which includes their face and requests that you put them down, just do it. No matter how friggin fabulous your micro effects are. TAKE THEM DOWN. You have no right to post images or other people without their consent so don’t try to get all worked up and upset and pms-sey about it. It’s called Respecting other people’s rights.
I am not against technology.I embrace but I cannot stand those who abuses the silent trust.
