Facebook users?

[Excited Penguin]

Um, call me crazy, but no, I don't and never will.

Here's what Snowden thinks about it:

“He doesn’t use Facebook because he hates Facebook,” he said. “They’re one of the worst violators of privacy in history. Nobody should use Facebook.”

Here's some suspicions being cast on mighty Facebook even before the Snowden Revelations:

And finally, something about how it's majorly fucking you up, just by using it.

The thing is, I was roughly the first of everybody I knew(from my generation) to use facebook and I got bored pretty quickly. Something rubbed me the wrong way about it too, besides the boredom. Anyway, it seems useless to me, to this day. It's nothing but a virtual replica of physical social interactions, and an especially bad one at that, given that actually some pretty important things are lost along the way, as I'm sure you know.

As Rene Pinnell put it back in 2011, trying to promote his own mobile app thingy, ironically:

Ultimately, real-world socializing will win the day. Humans are social creatures hard-wired for interpersonal contact and companionship. It’s time to bridge the gap between our online and offline lives and make social networking actually social. Real life: Accept no substitutes.
