I had to show it to a colleague as I was sniggering in the office. I don't mind Facebook. I don't mind drivel from people I have somehow come to know over time. Somehow I didn't like Twitter or exactly that reason. There is still drivel but without the glimpse into people's lives that Facebook affords, it remains drivel that is meaningless to me. I basically decommissioned my Twitter account over the weekend.Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11931248631361366673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786284110007207873.post-15341465531584045552011-09-30T14:35:17.425-07:002011-09-30T14:35:17.425-07:00thanx PM - have a good weekend. yay - antisocial n...thanx PM - have a good weekend. yay - antisocial networking could catch on, Shopgirl.

Because you're right, he is taking Facebook from a social networking site to a monster who is trying to eat the Internet. His goal in life is to destroy Google and become bigger than them, than anything in the world. He is going to monopolize the internet and he has plenty of time to do it because he's not even 30 yet.<br /><br />I don't want people knowing my every move. My music is my personal choice. When I comment on a friend's photo, I don't think that is Breaking News.<br /><br />Argh.Jennifer Fabuloushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07521908385026885699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786284110007207873.post-38794176287111417162011-09-27T16:36:34.119-07:002011-09-27T16:36:34.119-07:00Well said!
