What is taking facebook down?
Makes my day to see that America hating Murdock go down in flames
uh...what?
here's a very condensed version, I'll use FB as my example. Not a day goes by where I don't get bombarded with "what's your FB info?" "I don't have a FB sorry..."
and they go into a Christian cult like speech about how my life is utter shit without FB and a run down of what I'm missing out on. I get tired of it. And a few have continued to sell me on why I need a FB every time they see me for a damn month.
So wait, let me get this straight.
You are against FB because it's so useful that everyone thinks you should have it, but you'd rather have the awkward response of not having one because...?
Nope you didn't give any real reason. I'm just going to assume you prefer to stay anonymous because you are actually anti-social in normal life.
Time defeats all stupid social networking sites. Which is every one of them.

lol in real life I'm very social, the internet isn't real life.
roflcakes!
this, from the guy who "OWNS NO TV, WATCHES NO MOVIES, LISTENS TO NO RADIO....ETC, ETC."
what a shining example of contemporary culture you are.
lol in real life I'm very social, the internet isn't real life. And sorry I don't want a FB and get tired of the FB drones telling me all the features it has that change their life for the better. Do you like Jehovah Witnesses coming up to you on the street wanting to convert you and get you to start coming to their Kingdom Hall? People thinking I should have one and people cramming the "sign up!" down my throat are 2 different things. Online I am anonymous, because in real life I have more than enough friends than to need to sign up for some online wanna be version of real life.
FB isn't an online wanna be version of real life, but you wouldn't know that since you don't have an account, would you? You hate what you have no clue about and make all these assumptions. Do you use google? Email? THE INTERNET? Because your ridiculous notions of why you shouldn't use FB can be applied to not using the internet at all.
eh?
"to/too" in that phrase has always meant to me 'too much' [bad]. what else does it mean?
is someone going to "bad?" what is "bad," and how does one go there?
let me know--the single 'oh,' "to," just never has fit for me in that phrase.
:\
I don't know. I think he loves this country.
It made him rich as fuck.
Time defeats all stupid social networking sites. Which is every one of them. Each one was more popular than the one it took down, but they all fell at one point. I don't care how big Facebook is, it will die. Maybe not tomorrow, or even next year. But it will die. People will start to see how stupid it is and actually begin to care about their privacy. I remember when Myspace ruled the internet, I remember when Yahoo ruled the internet. 10 years ago nobody was fucking with Yahoo. FB's time is coming, just a matter of being patient until something people perceive as better comes along. And then that will too die when the next big thing comes along. It's a never ending cycle. Twitter will be around longer than Facebook, mark my words.
I don't know what FB is? LOL it's a social networking site, I had an account on sixdegrees, which was basically the same site just a buncha years eariler. FB is myspace without any character or life to it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqzBKFYV-9c Tim breaks down why FB sucks, couldn't have said it better myself.
I own a TV, with surround sound, which I watch my movies on. I listen to music, a lot, just not the radio which is mostly like watching TV, lots of crap programming and a bunch of commercials.
And I'd sure like to see your reasoning for a social site designed explicitly for people to stay updated with each other as a means of being anti-social, as well as how the internet itself is anti-social, especially given the fact you are trying to make this point on a public forum designed for like-minded(lawl) people to socialize on.
FB isn't really anything like myspace, that's why myspace is failing. You think having an account a long time ago and some obscur social site means you know what FB is? You are denying yourself a useful tool that is dominating the internet culture. It's like being against google, and for no reason because you once used the alltheweb search engine.
It looks bad now because mikemike ninja editied it to the correct usage...
I was with you until you linked that. That guy has SOME valid points, but for the most part he needs to lay off the drugs. Myspace is better? It's only better if everyone has decent tastes, and not everyone can understand yellow font cant be read on the bright picture of you x50 in the background. His points on facebook being harder or even hard to use in the first place are hilarious. My dad who can't find his email can use his facebook fine with the way they have it labeled.
Myspace failed by giving users too much control over their profile pages. It made browsing Myspace like browsing the internet in 1995. Tacky wallpapers, annoying music, unreadable fonts, etc. Facebook's initial advantage was the consistency of its layout.
