I mean i get it for keeping up with old friends, another form of communication and all that, more exposure for new bands, little online games, checking out old girlfriends and the bullet you might have dodged.......but really, do we need every ****ing bowl movement posted.

One "friend" on Facebook will go out to the pub and post constantly what he's doing, how he's feeling, where he's going next, where he's been......it wouldn't be so bad but one night his gf started updating hers to tell us all she puked.

Makes me wish for world war 3

No.

But what you're complaining about isn't facebook, it's people being daft.

You might as well say 'I don't get telephones' because your sister spends hours gossiping about rubbish one.

Or to put it another way, don't blame the medium for the content 🙂

Isn't making a thread on an internet forum about how you don't get it pretty much as bad?

Would be simpler not to use Facebook, Twitter etc.

Often new technologies are created with little understanding of how they will be utlised in reality. Text messaging is one such case in point, and when it first was launched neither BT Cellnet or Vodafone in the UK for example foresaw just how popular it would become with younger mobile phone users.

So yeah, you may not get it and that is fine - no need to use it. But it is a very flexible technology which enables a lot of creative uses depending on the creativity and the intelligence of the user.

Oh - on facebook I have maybe 100 friends but there are settings where you only read about those friends you really want to : )

Singletrackworld chat forum - I just don't get it. Is it really necessary to tell everyone what you don't get?

It's very easy to filter out the noise on facebook.

If the information you see on Facebook is dull, it's because you have dull friends. This is probably a reflection on you.

I like 'baiting' my friends who put up dull everyday things and generally being sarcastic, sadly they appear to be baiting me with their dullness now....
Personally i dont put much up on there, although i thought fracturing my arm was meritritious....

One of my Facebook friends recently posted about having been for a poo! She is a real friend, I've known her since she was about four, and she's now in her early thirties and expecting her first. God knows how the kid's going to grow up... 😯

nothing wrong with publishing an account of your movements..
through doing exactly this I discovered that two old school friends... a bloke from work.. one of the barmaids in the local pub and my other half's auntie all poo at the same time as me every day..
We started a facebook group and now all spare a thought for one another as we poo (attempting to dispel constipation.. heamorroid pain and other poo related problems with our best wishes etc etc) and then publish anecdotes about the mornings poo on the fanpage.

We all meet up once a month for a curry and the bloke from work and the barmaid are now engaged to be married as a direct result.
