May I submit some copypasta:
I've never had a Facebook before. I'm a software engineer and my boss asked me to implement Facebook support to our application. So I had to create a test account to use it. Holy ******* ****, people are ********.
Firstly, it asked for a lot of information I would never give out online. Full name, phone number, work information, etc. I was always taught not to give that out to strangers on the internet. I faked the information for my test account, but I was surprised they asked for all that.
Secondly, I still haven't really found the purpose of the site. It seems like a photo sharing site where you can add messages to photos. There are a dozen other services out there which let you do this without giving up so much information.
Thirdly, the pictures that I saw were really bad. People almost seemed to brag about being a redneck. I saw people posing with beer bottles. Is that a meme I missed? Every guy wanted their main picture to be of them with a girl which makes them look very needy.
Fourthly, was this idea of friends. The average person has maybe 10 friends tops and perhaps 30-50 acquaintances they've seen in the past year. Maybe 200 acquaintances if you include everyone in the last five years. Holy **** **** ****, everyone on this **** site has 1000+ friends. Does everyone just friend random strangers all the time and look at their pictures? That's creepy as ****.
I really really don't get why teenagers are obsessed with this site unlss they are just really vain about crappy pictures of themselves and having fake internet friends. I hope this fad dies soon. That along with iPhone worship.
I've demanded my wife not put any pictures of me on the internet anymore. She's already uploaded pictures of our family, which, if you do a reverse google image search, will give you someone's exact physical address. Facebook accounts are notoriously easy to hack, or even easier, just get into. It's a terrible idea to put so much personal information on the internet, where the lowest common demominator of humanity will often lurk.
