You don't need to read Dave Eggers' overly long and polemical book
The Circle to know that
Facebook is a vast evil time-suck that trivializes your life, robs you of your privacy, and makes you very stupid (and -- full disclosure -- I just sold some Facebook stock short, so I'm hoping that the rest of humanity reaches this conclusion too, and rapidly . . . and if
this Princeton study is any indication, then -- like an infectious disease -- the Facebook epidemic will soon wane, as folks become immune to its infectious qualities and I will make hundreds of dollars).
according to the methodology applied in the princeton study, princeton itself will soon wane. so you might be waiting a bit for that windfall.
ReplyDeleteif princeton wanes, it can only help rutgers, and thus my property value . . .
ReplyDeletePrinceton will Wayne? Jersey! I pulled the plug on my Facebook membership after 3 months. I don't like living so publicly.
ReplyDeleteI have my account but just use it to keep in touch with friends and spy on them. Of course, it's not really spying when some friends broadcast their every thought/movement/breath. Except for the good stuff. Waiting for one of our friends to disclose that they just masturbated to someone else's Facebook profile. That'll clam some folks up.
ReplyDeletemy wife has had a facebook status uplink surgically implanted in her brain. she's an open book. so i've got that going for me.
ReplyDeleteI must say that's a very unique blog I am at work now but I will come back later to look though it.
