Facebook actually has the “notes” feature, which is similiar to a blog. And Twitter has neither.

Yeah, we who study dystopian fiction use Orwellian. But Facebook is totally NewSpeak, though, so the sentiment valid. Then again, the linguists would say that language is fluid anyway, and we should accept these changes as a reflection of our current context.

I bet you’re the same type who complained that telephones would lead to rudeness and moral degeneration because young people of opposite sexes could have private conversations.

Social networking sites are a new form of communication that takes advantage of the big bandwidth and huge storage available on the Internet with today’s technology – and it’ll only get faster and bigger. Facebook isn’t some kind of silly fad that’s going to dry up and blow away. In case you’re not aware of this, there are social networking sites for “grownups” too like LinkedIn and Community of Science.

That depends. It’s easy if you want all kinds of stupid crap on your wall and in your feed, random people bugging you to be their friend, marketers snooping into your personal information, etc. It’s hard if you want to keep it private and secure. I love FB for keeping in touch with *real* friends and seeing what they’re interested in, but I’ve spent a lot of time tweaking my privacy settings. It’s a pain in the backside.

I saw a newspaper article once where they calculated how much a housewife would cost if you had to pay for her services (childcare, cooking, house cleaning, chauffeuring, etc., not to mention that a lot of this would be overtime work and thus have to be paid 50% extra in the US) and a typical housewife “salary” came out to something like several hundred USD per year. Moms work hard!

about 6 years ago my mom asked me to see who my cousins “top five” were on myspace so she could tell my cousin’s mom who her boyfriend was. and asked me to see if she had less than appropriate clothing on. needless to say, I took down my myspace. at the time it was a “spyspace” for parents. which isn’t bad theoretically, unless you are not a parent and you are being asked to spy on “private” myspaces.

By: emjay

this could be a much better graph. could add a bunch of things, some below…

1) Because my mom is on it
2) Because people I went to high school with and I don’t know, and were never friends with “friend” my mom. “aren’t you Mandi’s mom?” who are you people?
3) Because by social internet site standards, its 15 minutes of fame is about up
4) Nobody really cares about it
5) No one has actual friends anymore
6) If my face is going to be on a book it will be my autobiography about things that are worth putting on real paper.

If you can’t figure out facebook and my mom can, when she can’t even use PowerPoint… just saying

Do yourself a favor: don’t learn how to use it. Shallowness and language deterioration are reasons enough to stay away.

Perhaps this is due to the graphmaker’s own deterioration of the English language, but that would kind of make that argument against having a Facebook profile null and void. Oh well. Methinks Facebook is not the culprit, afterall. At least it’s the smallest piece of pie.

If you’re a housewife who actually works all day at keeping the house clean and the kids fed, then absolutely nothing. What bothers me is when some trophy wife calls herself a housewife, despite the fact that she has a maid, a cook, a nanny, and has tons of extra-curricular activities that cater to her own wants and desires, and then complains about how bored she is all the time. Boohoo. But I’m sure you’re not the latter.

“A Facebook”? You also say “my MySpace”, right? Probably another reason you’re not on it. Facebook and MySpace are single entities. There aren’t multiples and you don’t have your own. It’s like saying “I don’t have a New York”. You have a Facebook page, a New York apartment, a MySpace address.

So much for “deterioration of language”…

I made this, if my name wasn’t sufficient to inform y’all.

Anyway, yeah, sorry about the Orwellian adjective mix-up business. My bad.

Everyone in this portion of commentary is a troll, so now you are a troll because you commented, and yes, before anyone tries to make me look like a fool, I am aware that I would be including myself in this category, as well.
