Not because twitter is better, or because facebook sucks. It’s because I want to manage less. Twitter is easy, I say something, chat with people when I feel like it, and ignore it when I want to.
Facebook is different. signing in, I am overloaded with requests, invitations, games, and nonsense that i would never normally care about.
Now I understand many people use facebook as the primary means of connecting and interacting with people, and I think that sucks. If a friend needs to contact me, they can call, text, or email me. I wasn’t on facebook 24/7, so it’s not very efficient in telling me anything of importance.
“friending” vs. “following”
The terminology seems more selfish for twitter, but twitter is much more than an ego boost, (right). It’s a chat room. and only 1 chat room. not a chat for every mundane piece of information ever.
Instead, I’m on facebook talking to stevie in TWO DIFFERENT CONVOS:
This one is about the weekly world news. It quickly disintegrated into Rachael Ray Bashing. [FYI: check out this forum topic. Meaghan G. is obviously an honest fan. http://www.yelp.com/topic/boston-who-loves-rachael-ray
Yah, I added a facebook badge to the sidebar because despite privacy issues and big brother and all that jazz, I really think facebook is an amazing site.
you can see my posted items feed right underneath it. some really, really interesting stuff in there.
Yo Facebook, you talk a big fucking game behind your website. Why don’t you say that shit in the streets? cause you know you’ll get fucked up. pussy. next time i catch you talkin’ shit like that, you’re gettin snuffed. for real. let me see you on the corner. let me see you. don’t come out side punk.
EDIT: I didn’t want to scoop damian, blog post on DAPS found here.
no, i am not gonna make an application. I started a group so I can make everyone in the group an officer with a silly name. the idea is that people will see their friends news feed and their silly title and the join to get one of their own.
