I’m not really sure what’s going on with the internet these days. What I do know is that I am becoming even more disenchanted with Facebook then I was to begin with.
It started when initially you couldn’t create an account without having a college email address. And while I was enrolled in school at the time, they did not provide students with email addresses. This is what happen when you save money when you’re paying your own way by going to a community college: you are kept off social networking sites. OH THE HORRORS!
Once their policy changed to allow all you good for nothing non-college folks, I signed up only to realize that they ask for a last name and do check to see if your last name is “acceptable”. My name’s unique enough as it is, I see no reason to give stalkers or psycho–yet forgetful–ex-boyfriends any more information than they may already have about me.
Anyway, Facebook then proceeded to add all those goddamn applications. Receiving however many invitations to add more shit to my profile on a daily basis got really annoying, especially as I started to realize there was no “ignore all” option.
Let’s top it off with the fact Facebook generally sucks and not enough people use it for me to feel it is a necessary website to have an account on. Except I have maybe 5 friends that refuse to use Myspace, so there I am.
Now Myspace is plotting against me, as they have now added their own range of sub-par “applications” that I will never use to their site. Way to go guys, one more things to slow down your servers and give me that obnoxious downtime notification for an entire evening.
Don’t you people realize I have an important internet persona to flaunt on the fucking internet?
