We Are All Doomed By The Evolution of Facebook

Okay, so you are old. What's the cool thing to do? Of course, get a Facebook that's what everyone is doing these days. I mean why not look at pictures of your son taking a body shot off a random wannabe faked tan having bar skank.

Ever since Facebook has become open to everyone it has slowly declined in quality. Or at least that is one everyone always thinks. Now I will admit that a lot of the features that FB has come up with in the last couple years are a good thing. i.e. Status updates, feeds, and well, that's about it! (I'm not going to lie, I hated the News Feed and the Status updates when they came out, but now I enjoy them!)

I'm not going to be one of these giant doucheres (that's right, douchers) that are going to start a group "Petition for the old facebook back" what is that doing, you are just making an idiot out of yourself. I also hate when people join groups opposing Facebook becoming a pay site. There are some real stupid people out there. They are never going to make Facebook a pay site. Not gonna happen people. Do you know how much advertising that they would lose because of the loss of traffic.

I still have my facebook and probably will until the next best thing comes along. But so far it's outlasted myspace and friendster (whatever friendster was?). Twitter is starting to gain more popularity (btw here is my twitter page, follow me kids) and I'm starting to dig it. Not a lot of hoopla involved, pretty much just status updates all the time. Which is great because it's cool on twitter and I was starting to update the fb status just a little too much for everybody's taste.

I also hate, absolutely despise all the stupid applications. Okay you know and care nothing about farming in the real world. Stop building a farm on facebook. No one even cares. I also hate mafia wars, farkle, and poker apps. The only app that I kind of like is the Social Interview questions, don't ask me why but it is fun to answer random questions about your friends (even though I skip most of the questions because it is people who I met once or haven't spoken to in ages.) and usually my answers are sarcastic and contradictory.

So basically it's like this. It's never going back to strictly college kids (as much as I hated that change, I do like the fact that it's easier to talk to relatives.). It's never going to become a pay site. Petitions and groups requesting changes do not mean shit. I have had a facebook a long time and I have never seen a change taken back. It is so much different then when it started and for the most part I enjoy it. So the point basically is to stop bitching, it's better than Myspace.
