This is something that I put into my Facebook page thought it would go better on my Blog:
I dislike just about every social media (chat rooms, FB, blogs, My Space, esp Twitter... ect) out there and will dislike every social media that will come out, almost as much as reality TV... almost. I started a facebook page just to learn how the more advanced parts of Facebook works for a side project I've been working on. So after using it for a few days I have come to a new and less pre-judgmental option of it: I hate it even more than I thought I would. So here is my TOP10 reasons why I hate Facebook:
10: the name: Facebook what is that? It's nether a Face nor a Book.
9: My spell checker keeps telling me that I am spelling Facebook incorrectly. "Did you mean face book?"
8: It's filled to the brim with advertisements and I hate those even more than social media stuff.
7: The odds of rolling a 7 with 2 standard 6 sided dice is much higher than rolling any other number, but the odds of getting a 7 when randomly selecting a number between 2 and 12 is exactly the same?
6: I hate all social Media in general.(just to give you all a little background into this let me tell you of my first incounters of social media: When I was around 13-15 years old I don't quite remember I was "Chatting" in a chat room some time late at night/early morning for several hours to some one in Austrelia about breakfast ceareals. after concluding the conversation I came to a realization that it was a complete waste of time. I didn't accoplish anything and infact wasn't entertaning at all. so from then on I never used a chat program or anything like it from then on.)
5: I get an account of everyone's activity on facebook even though it has nothing to do with me, and is nearly impossible to keep track of especially when I don't check it 20 times a day.
4: Keep getting exactly 1 "Bajillion" invites from people who I'm not sure if I know them or not? well they have the last name Ray so maybe they are a relative? I don't want to decline there invite but I don't want to accept it either so they just sit in limbo.
3: It keeps changing. I find some instructions on how to do something in facebook and it's telling me to go places and click on things that aren't there.
2: Doesn't work, not facebook it's self but everything else I have tried to do to get it to do what I want to do doesn't work. All the apps that say "it can do this" doesn't. I suppose that it might but oh boy already spent several hours trying to get it to do something simple like adding a little bit of html to it.
1: It is a complete mess, I spend 13hrs+ a day at work on a computer and a few more at home. I see and interact with may websites and Facebook is in the top 20 of the most unorganized mess of a website I have ever seen.
Now just to conclude this I know the benefits and such of Facebook to keep in touch with people and become reacquainted with people that you might have known in the past but at least to me beyond that I find a waste of time. I don't have anything against people who do use facebook and that's fine if that's how you want to spend your time and you enjoy it then great. Also I just want to point out again that if you want to contact me the best way is to Call, Email, or IM me. If you see me on IM it means I am near my computer esp at night because that's when I am at work but am usually not very busy so you can feel free to IM me any time you see me on. Just remember that I do work at night and sleep in the day time usually until some time after 5pm MST. If you want pictures updates and other stuff about what is happening with our family Shawna keeps an nearly always up to date blog here: http://clarkandshawna.blogspot.com/ you will need an invite to view it so if you don't have one you can ask me or Shawna for one.
