facebook your face.

i like facebook, i use it daily. but god damn it i hate facebook. franz and i are here to set some ground rules. but first, rant:

FRANZ SAYS
First of all I would like to mention that facebook will eventually be the ultimate demise of our society. Since when has it been a good idea to let everybody know every single detail of your life? This ain't hollywood or the front page of Star magazine. And why the hell does everyone have a comment about everything?

JULIA SAYS
Why the fuck do people I work with want to be my friends? like ugh, I have no desire to have you see my drunk pictures from Friday night, especially if you're my boss. it's not like I'm going to write on your wall YO HOLLLERZZZZZ. but yet if I don't accept them it'll be rude. it's like fuck, I joined facebook to be a geek with my friends and now I have to filter myself.

THUS
With facebook having become so popular so quickly there have been no rules or social etiquette attributed to the site. Therefore Franz and Julia are going to be setting some ground rules for all you serial commenting application posting wall writing junkies.

RULES
Rule #1
Thou shalt not comment on a person's relationship status if it has taken a negative turn.
The whole relationship status thing is ridiculous unless you are in a serious committed relationship. If you don't know, don't advertise it, you are just asking for a difficult conversation with whoever you are dating. Commenting on someone who has just "ended their relationship" is just selfish and rude. Nobody cares what you have to say, if you really cared about that person you would certainly not be so rude as to simply comment on a facebook status. Pick up the phone and give them a call. That's right, you can communicate with someone by other means than a facebook message or a wall post.

Rule #2
Don't write private messages on another person's wall.
The wall is a public space so treat it like that. Don't write a sexy message to me, because chances are I'm already sleeping with your best friend

Rule #3
Don't add someone to facebook if you don't plan on talking to them.
A FRIEND is someone you talk to on a weekly basis, not the girl who sat behind you in 5th grade math. Referring to anybody you kind of know, and don't ever keep in touch with as a friend is therefore completely desecrating the term.

Rule #4
Nobody wants your applications.
Unless you are in junior high school and find these things amusing, applications on facebook are completely useless. No I do not want to play Mob Wars with you, nor do I want to get a virtual egg and watch it hatch. When you add an application you have a choice to send it to people or not. Crowding people's facebook with applications is extremely rude and uncalled for.

the end.
