Loving Facebook, Hating Facebook

Pablo Zarate made a clear statement. Capo wrote about it. I’m getting bored with it. And here’s 25 reasons not to love it:

I don’t agree on every single reason, but certainly on a majority.

So let’s be trendy (for once) and:

• Get rid of unused friends
• Keep professional contacts at LinkedIn
• Don’t accept silly requests or things getting thrown
• Bluntly… defriend (I will start with people that don’t even respond to a personal e-card for their birthday. I just hate that!)

Okay, maybe my virtual network will look as friendless as my real life network :-(. But I will surely feel relieved and de-stressed :-).

Let’s use it pragmatically to keep informed of:

• Real messages of real friends
• Real friends’ birthdays
• Events of bands/groups/subjects of interest
• Worthwhile causes
