I'm just about done with Facebook

A few Eisengeisters haven't joined Facebook, yet. My advice: don't. You just have way too little control over who sees what information about you, and even well intended actions can lead to unintended consequences.

Pro: pictures of kids and animals, Vonn's quiz results.

Con: Alarming friend requests.

It's degenerated into a spamfest for applications demanding you sign up for them.

A few simple bits of usability testing would have helped, but apparently facebook is run by idiots.

i think you're all on drugs. facebook RULES. i love getting in touch with people i didn't care to even think about for 20 years and see photos of myself in tube socks. and nothing beats getting invited to yet another application/game. and the status updates! i would have never realized there was a FOUR POINT FOUR earthquake a few days ago were it not for the immediate status updates on facebook - which i read 24/7 so i'm always up to date on who's kid just had a bowel movement or who's going to the gym again.

so take your hate elsewhere, you won't find any pity from me.

either that or i'm drunk

or it's april fool's

As usual, webcomic XKCD puts it better than I could why you should refuse to edit your online life.
