Originally Facebook seemed great, a means to stay in touch with the homies and post things I determine are important. My Facebook habits on the other hand changed the function of Facebook a little bit. I don’t think I am the only person who has fallen victim to the Facebook friend spam. As a happy little Facebooker I accepted any and all friend request, you know you have to get that friend count up so when people facebook stalk you they know you are cool. While recently jumping on Facebook I realized what I had done. My news feed (front page for those of you still on myspace) was covered in two things: posts by people I barely know and posts by the especially annoying people who post something every five minutes. WHAT HAD I DONE? It turns out Facebook is just a huge spam page. I would scroll through all the garbage posts just to see one or two by people who I care what they say. I am going to now take a moment for a public service announcement: 1) If I don’t talk to you don’t add me 2) if you post stupid things every five minutes, do everyone a favor and delete your Facebook, no one likes you. It is not just the posts it’s the Facebook chat as well. Initially I loved being able to chat with friends and check out the book. I was young and naive, now I spend just as much time hoping people don't start chatting with me as I do trying to get out of conversations. Other times I see people are online I am afraid are going to chat with me, and I have to sign off real quick. Am I going to delete my Facebook, No. Mostly because I am weak. My point is my first impression about Facebook was wrong.
