Facebook

It always amuses me how many people complain about FB but don't consider that maybe it's their own ignorance or apathy that keeps their newsfeed looking like it does.

Without facebook I would not have daily updates of your delightful doggy, which never fails to slightly improve my mood.

It's my belief that everyone's facebook would be improved with cute dog additions. Way better than baby photos.

I basically won't use it for one main simple reason.

I won't let it control my life. That means I may not look at it for days/weeks.
This in itself may be construed as an intentional position towards someone. Then I'll have to explain myself (ring them IRL). bla bla bla

To me, in summary, it's an ego thing for the young ones, it practically moulds their personality and positions them on a rung on their personal social ladder.
Good for the oldies to see what family are getting up to.

Ah yes. Those young things. They couldn't possibly be using it to follow their favorite businesses or artists, or to check up on what far-flung friends are doing, or family, or current events. Nope. It's all about the narcissism.
