It doesn’t take much to screw up a relationship on Facebook. Now while most couples have a strong communication base, Facebook does its darnedest to put relationships to the test.
Whether it’s an ex-girlfriend who asks to be added to your friends list, a beautiful girl who happens to write on your wall, or a glitch with your “relationship” status in your personal profile, Facebook can easily cause rifts in your otherwise happy relationship.
One Facebook bug in a profile changed a woman’s status from “engaged” to “single” and caused enough of a stir to get fifty messages sent to her email box wondering “what happened?”. Of course, nothing had changed in the relationship, but putting the water on those coals took a couple of hours of unproductive time.
While Facebook can be a great window into the worlds of peoples’ lives, it can also cause friction, misunderstandings, and even break-ups, whether intentional or accidental. Friends, romances, and even long-term relationships have ended simply from the power of social networking. Is yours next?
Shame On You, Son!
You see what happens when people spend too much time Facebooking? Soon you’re testing the relationship of your best friend. While yes, you realize that his mother is attractive, it wouldn’t have gone this far if you just said “hi Mrs. Smith” when you came over to ask if Billy could come out and play street hockey.
But now, with Facebook, you can lurk and spy on your friend’s mom’s hotness in the safety of your own basement. Now, after seeing those Maui vacation pictures of Billy’s mother in a two-piece bathing suit, you’ll never be able to look at her the same way! Bye bye youthful innocence!
I’ve been using Twitter for a while, and I must say that I like the idea of updating my status for my friends using this simple application. I click on my Twitter homepage, type in my blurb, click “update”, and I’m done.
Now I understand that the Facebook “what am I doing” application can do the same thing, but with Twitter, I can do it without all the extra nonsense, and I can keep a handle on what all my friends are doing on just one easy-to-read page.
I don’t work for Twitter, I’m not an actor, and I’m not getting paid for this; I just think that it’s good to share the simple things in life, and Twitter is just one less reason why I would need to log in to my Facebook account!
It appears that Facebook can cause hallucinations in normal people. If you don’t believe me, this image is from The Cavalier Daily, an obviously respectable publication:
Just look at what too many hours of Facebooking can do to an average person.
This normal American woman was only on Facebook for ten minutes before she started hallucinating. For chrissakes, there’s a human hand coming out of her monitor!!! And all of the keys have vanished from her keyboard!
Also, it appears that her bra is being pulled away from her left breast.
You see, this is what happens to people who use Facebook! People, do yourselves a favor, and turn off your computer…after you’ve finished reading this blog of course!
