Face this

Facebook is going completely off its nut! If Facebook were a furniture shop there would be a massive sale on at the moment what with all the crazy. Everywhere I turn there are people talking about it and I'm just not sure what the big deal is. I joined up, I admit. Someone sent me a request, a person in a far and distant land and I thought "OK, I'd like to see what this bloke is up to", so I joined and now I have an ever-increasing number of people in my friendlies box. But I'm just not sure what I am supposed ot DO with them. What is the point in sending them a "poke" when I could poke them in real time if I can just have the patience to wait a few hours? I do have mates who are overseas so in that respect it could be useful I suppose - but we already had e-mail going. Besides which, they aren't doing anything so interesting that I need to hear from them everyday! According to The 'Tiser (source of all breaking news and hardhitting headlines) hundreds of thousands of millions of dollars are being pissed down the drain by mindless employees who sit and Facebook each other all day at work. Well, if that isn't front page news, I don't know what is! But why?? What exactly is so good about it? Aren't we sick of computers yet? I have to sit in front of one from 9-1pm everyday and frankly - that's about enough for me. By the time I get around to typing up my uni assignments too I have practically developed an allergy caused by over exposition. Aha, and how amusing, one may think, to choose to rant about wasting time spreading personal information via the internet and computers through such a medium. OH yes, my sides are aching with laughter.
