Facebook hates me
Facebook has wormed it's way into my life along with Twitter. I spend maybe five minutes a day on those sites - stalking my old friends or updating people on my day to day bullshit. And from time to time, I'll post updates from my phone. (I've all but given up on MySpace.)
This has been going on for a few weeks now, so I'm really getting used to the routine. But then suddenly today I was locked out of my Facebook account.
Account Unavailable
Your account is temporarily unavailable due to site maintenance. It should be available again within a few hours. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Big fucking deal, right? Who gives a shit. I guess I do. It's weird. I'm not a social guy. I don't call people. I don't email my friends. But somehow the little one or two sentence updates I send and receive each day have begun to matter to me.
Am I losing my fucking mind? Should Facebook have any impact on my daily life? Or should I breathe a sigh of relief knowing I don't have the 5-minute burden of updating my status today?

I too am a victim of Facebook and Twitter.
Should have a special group. A place we can all go for support.

I’m kind of a FBook newbie and it has definitely taken its toll. Luckily I get bored with it in about 5 minutes. I guess it’s the constant inflow of emails that keep me going back.

I made a facebook sometime ago, and as I have gone out into the work world to find a teaching job, I realized I probably shouldn’t have my facebook account with links to my friends sites with pictures of me and them getting shit faced and humping the gigantic aluminum statue of Uncle Sam. So I tried to delete that shit – it doesn’t work. I think it’s impossible to delete facebook accounts, only really restrict them. And that, that is what scares theshit out of me…

Hey, would you mind emailing me? I’ve a question. Thanks.

I quit Friendster. I quit Classmates.com. I quit MySpace.
I never entered the world of Facebook nor Twitter.
I instead have become addicted to text messaging.
I hate myself.

I quit MySpace, Friendser, Classmates. I have thus far avoided Twitter and Facebook.
Instead? I text. Way too much. I hate myself.

Twitter has been really nice to me and i give a damn to facebook anyway. Why can’t these sites restrict the number of registrations if they can’t handle everyone?

@MacBros:
This has got to stop at some point… Social networking, online professional networking, blogging… it’s out of control.
@Jim Pony:
That’s the best part. 5 minutes a day is all you need.
@Cecil B.:
I made a point to omit any references to this website. I even left out my thechurning email address.
@Samantha:
Who the fuck are you and what do you want?
@randi:
Texting is another one of my tech addictions. I send a text to my Twitter account which updates my Twitter profile and that auto updates my Facebook page. All while driving. No I am not joking.
@Raju:
Yeah Twitter is great. It’s blogging for people who don’t have the interest or time for lengthy posts. I get all I need in one or two sentences.
@Robguy:
Just added you…
