Beyond that, itŽs technically the crappiest "social network" IŽve seen
yet. They "advertise" functions as revolutionary and new, that similar
networks have had years before them - and got them actually working right,
not like Crapbook...
Obviously, itŽs made crappy enough, that most people think itŽs totally
great.
I signed on a few years ago, simply because some girls I know posted photos
of me and I wanted to see them.
While it has gotten less user friendly and more crapular over time, I find
it has some uses.
For instance, I have re-connected with old friends who are scattered all
over the globe. I have heard from more than
a couple of ex girlfriends and that has had its "benefits". Most
importantly, I have picked up a number of gigs simply
by being connected to a network of random people.
It can be a real time waster for some, and there's a certain segment who
think it's supposed to be a blog. Sorry, no.
There's also the ones who waste tons of page space with scores of bad photos
posted one at a time. Add to that
the ones who flood a page with youtube videos of their favorite music, which
I REALLY can do without.
Albert Camus said "Hell is other people". My version is: "Hell is other
people's taste in music"
I block those types.
PA of the Day and Dodgy Technicians (on FB) are worth viewing for laughs and
amusement.
