Facebook annoys me
Anybody out there find some of the features in Facebook annoying???? Before Facebook, I was a faithful MySpace user and abuser. I loved to pimp my page with fun HTML coding and add various pictures of me and my family. I found it was a great way to stay in touch with my circle of friends....it even helped me stay in touch with people I wouldn't normally stay in touch with. Neat-o! I decided about a year ago that I needed to explore Facebook as I am an instructional technologist that needs to stay abreast of teaching technologies. I got my account.....and just never really grew very attached to it. In fact, I loathed the thought of updating my page. I got sooooooo irritated with all the "pokes" and "waves" and "cocktails" and other sorts of various requests and notifications that I was receiving. My goodness.....who cares about all those things? What I loved about MySpace (comments, blogs, personal connections, messages, etc....) just never came to fruition on my Facebook page. Am I partially to blame? I found it very cumbersome to try and maintain the environment I had in my Myspace account in my Facebook account. Nevertheless.....those stupid notifications just get on my nerves!

I have the exact same sentiments - all of the cutesie games and stuff kind of bother me - I don't really have time to collect stickers, etc. I also love pimping out my myspace profile and wish I could do the same to my facebook. What I have found is that many of the people that I want to connect with are on facebook and that is why I end up spending so much time there... thanks for vocalizing what I have been thinking...
That's funny Lisa, I thought I was the only one! Then I began to think I was just getting old and boring :).
LOL I am SOOO glad to read this as well. I hate doing cutsey stuff and find the demand for constant attention on face book to be not worth the type of relationship return I am looking for.
While I havent done so much on Myspace as you all - still I much prefer it!
lol.. am glad to know that am not alone.. :) i earlier used orkut which was kinda simple to use and just served the purpose. But now i think the facebook culture is infecting other social networking sites too.. more than the excitement in searching for your friend, the so called "goodies" of facebook IRRITATES me.
