There I said it – I hate the damn thing.
You see I work a lot on my computer, I also shop on it but that’s a post for another day. Basically when I am sitting in front of this screen it’s for a work / education purpose and only sometimes for entertainment.
I was talked into opening an account a FB though – months of nagging from friends and family members and I caved. After all what was the harm and it might be fun.
Login #1 I set up my page. Uploaded a photo and added a couple of friends before logging out for bed.
I login for the second time a few days later – oooh, how exciting, friend requests! I’m loved, I’m popular – 19 people want to be my face book friend – the word has spread, my friends and family have found me 
I login a week later – 100 friend requests. WTF?
I know 12 of them! Friends of friends, friends of family, two ex lovers and well to be honest I haven’t a clue who the rest were. On top of that half my “friends” had subjected me to invitations for groups – most multiple groups -there were 143 of them to be exact! And messages, some sent daily!
I never did log in for that fourth visit.
Am I alone in the fact that I make time to contact in “real life” with the people I care about? Am I alone in the fact that if I haven’t been in touch with someone since high school it is because I have no interest in doing so? Am I alone in not having an urge to share details of my life with people I have no interest in that seem to think they know me because their brothers girlfriend is second cousin to my friends sisters friend?
PS I don’t “tweet” either
I hated the facebook experience – Do YOU?
