$#!% I Say

I started with social media when many of my old friends had pushed me to join Friendster. I had all of my friends there. Then they all went to Myspace and I followed but wasn’t as involved as I was with Friendster. Then everyone moved to Facebook. I followed suit but I think the whole hassle of re-friending all of my friends wasn’t really worth it. I did locate many old friends through Facebook and it was great to talk to them again. Yet, I found that we were all older and different so we either didn’t have time to actually hangout together but that we also really didn’t want to hangout together.

I mainly used Facebook to play the games–first it was Mafia Wars, then Scrabble, then this Ninja game, and then Poker. I spent so many hours on there that could’ve been more productively used. I made some posts but rarely. I liked posting Youtube videos and videos that I created but then Facebook got all police state and started taking everything down, which inevitably took away our individuality and expression through music (Myspace’s success). My photos that I posted were looked at by others but then Facebook changed its structure. It was hard to find my friends and photos, and my videos had all been taken down (I’m banned from uploading videos).

Though I still have a Facebook account, I rarely use it. Facebook messed with something that was great and didn’t fix it, just made it worse (like the way Yahoo bought delicious.com and ruined the entire site beyond recognition).
