I’m sick of creeping on others. Not that I want to, facebook forces me to. It’s in our nature to be curious.
I hardly use facebook to connect with others or meet new people. Most of us use it to see what’s going on in our network. Scrolling through pictures and comfortably sipping on tea, I’m forced to open profiles and check what’s up with everyone else. I don’t want to do it. But everything is right there. Newsfeed. Just a click away. So easy.. so simple. I have to stop. Follow, accept, poke, tag, like… logout.
In the recent web 2.0 summit Mark Zuckerburg confessed that the future is all about being social. Everything around us is going to be social. But wait a minute… what about the people who do not prefer being social or maybe want to be slightly social. Constantly ignoring random friend requests and checking random links and profiles of people that you haven’t seen in ages is getting a tad bit boring. Especially when you can click on some ones album outside our network and still go through all their pictures because they forgot to set their privacy settings ( or didn’t care to set them). I’m glad that you had a good time partying with the finest people at the best place in town… But why is it in my face (ha.. “face” book).

We do not have much control on our information. Facebook is a bitch about it. I would really appreciate it if I could download all my facebook information. Why do I have to use facebook connect to integrate my information with other networks. I can individually copy everything and save it in my system but that can be an extremely time consuming task. How can I get ownership to everything I post and not worry about some fuck using my pictures for a facesmash like project. All we can do is to make sure all the information that goes on web should not reveal a lot about ourselves. That’s what my paranoid bi polar self says.
