If Twitter Got Cancer
Facebook, it just keeps geting worse.
Facebook is like Twitter if, by default, twitter started keeping track of where you were and making sure everyone knew it all the time, if twitter uploaded embarrassing pictures of you, if twitter made sure all of your old ex girlfriends knew exactly what all of your IM account names are, what your favorite web site is, and where you park your car, and on top of all that, it kept piping the same inane useless information that it does now, about what everybody you know (and everybody they know (and everybody they know))Â is doing or thinking or not thinking or throwing up at every moment, but now it was no longer limited to one short sentence at a time, and instead it could flood you with really really long inane rants from all of your friends at once, and it was no longer just one javascript hack, it was an endless list of plugin applications that could potentially be exploited to steal your login information, and pictures and videos and links to stuff you don’t care about and even with the increased volume the content was STILL PRETTY MUCH USELESS CRAP and you couldn’t turn off the endless spew of drivel from any one person without unfriending them and making them think you didn’t like them so you just ignored the whole feed really.
Facebook takes but it doesn’t give. It’s in the best interests of Facebook for you to be searchable and displayed. Facebook needs you to conform to its voyeuristic standards in order to be accepted.
And, Facebook doesn’t want you looking anywhere else. For example, it doesn’t include back-links to RSS feeds (unless your feed reader expressly inserts them). All roads lead to Facebook.
Here are suggestions of other people you might enjoy stalking!
