I used to enjoy my Facebook.

[Jindrak]

I used to enjoy Facebook. It allowed me to talk to all my computer illiterate friends who have no hope of getting an actual instant messaging service. I got to see all the statuses arrange in a neat little line. I laughed at those people who used Twitter because it was just the "status" feature extracted by Facebook, made to look like absolute garbage and pasted on another website. But then the demon spawn that corrupted the MySpace "Bulletin" Board began repopulating in it's new host body.

Yes, Facebook "Quizzes."

Every time I see a facebook quiz, it makes me wish immense evil upon my fellow man. Most are nonsensical to begin with, then some should result in their creator's swift and utter destruction based on the stupidity with which they are created. This is one copied and pasted from my front page:

- just took the "Who is your dream girl? (boys only)" quiz and the result is You are into Hotties.

What the hell is that? I cannot come up with an expletive strong enough to express my hatred for this level of stupidity. I have to scroll down half the way to find any semblance of actual interesting happenings. After wading through "What kind of lover are you?" "What is your color?" "What is your sign?" "What is your animal?" "Why are you still living?" a sudden realization comes to mind. Those people who grab a pickaxe and head to Burger King? I suddenly understand their hatred for people. You know what? Between this horse-crap and Faux recasting Futurama...

Where's my pickaxe, brb.

Focus: Trash on social networking websites.
Alternate Focus: Share hilarious stories originating from social networking websites.

I enjoyed Facebook for all of 3 days and then I never logged back on.

Facebook used to be okay but now it just bombards my e-mail account with updates, insists on telling me what people hae been doing, and proposes I become friends with people I do not like.

Facebook went from cool to my mother

I have never taken a Facebook quiz where everything is spelled correctly. They make me feel stupid.

My mom uses Facebook. She's on the computer all the time either taking stupid quizzes or playing MafiaWars.

I hate social networking sites for that fact, my email accounts are bombarded with emails about status updates, invites and friend requests.
It drives me mental, especially when it's people you don't know too. It is like your mother, only in my case it's like I moved out of home and she always wants to get in touch.

You don't seem stupid from this.

Facebook is getting more and more retarded, in my eyes. I log in to check my stuff and all I see is people putting comments like:

Ellie: tired.

Um, okay? Next one...

J.T.: Hungry.

Wow, that's all you guys have to say? That's great...

Or there's always the people that leave comments saying:

ZOMG HARRY POTTERS SECKSII AZZ IS COMIN TO THE THEATER 2NITE!! ZOMG! ZOMG!

I just want to punch these people. Facebook is so stupid, it's almost up there with Twitter. Except on Twitter people actually post useful things.

OMG! XD I said "spelled"! I am so embarrassed right now.

*watches something zoom over his head*
I think I missed the point, how is that embarrassing? xD

 

[Nincompoop]

At first I found it interesting and neat that members of my family came as potential contacts.

Then, after receiving notations about potential contacts from every single person I have chatted, seen or even thought about, I 'temporarily closed' my Facebook profile. If you are wondering why I just didn't delete it... Well, try it yourself.

 

[Dogstile]

depends on your friends really, most of my friends wake up, say good morning to eachother, make plans over facebook, then talk on facebook after, possible post future things they want to do and if anyone wants to join them, then they say goodnight

its rather nice

I used to do that with Diablo 2.... almost leveled up, I'll just find the next waypoint then bed. 2 am later, I'm still up.

I agree with OP though. Those quiz things are the downfall of mankind. The apocalypse is nigh.

 

[Scrythe]

After MySpace, I am very hesitant to try out any form of social networking site. forums are borderline (with The Escapist being a very rare exception, of course).

People suck

People on the internet suck more.

It should be "spelt".

Crikey!!
Pretend that never happened.

*hides in pillow fort.*

 

[LooK iTz Jinjo]

you know there is the option to hide all those ridiculous quizzes... When you see one just click next to it "Hide" and you will never see that quiz again. Other than that, I am addicted to Facebook.

Uhm... no it isn't. It is "spelled".

 

[Markness]

oops double post

 

[Markness]

One of the quizzes is "What is your birth number."

I have no idea what a birth number and even if I did I know I wouldn't care.

One "good" thing about the facebook quizzes are those intelligence ones that are so easy and always give me results like u aer vry smrt!!! A nice way to boost my self esteem.

They are interchangeable, so you are all wrong
