I think it is fair to say that I have dropped the ball to a certain extent when it comes to this blog.
Its been over a month since I posted anything, at all. To make things worse I really don't have any particularly good excuse. Other than that I am lazy (to a certain extent) and that I was busy (with the assistance of 'You Tube'). I honestly just haven't gotten around to it.
Anyway, I now have a 'Facebook'. until recently I had staunchly avoided joining any kind of 'social network'. To me they seem a bit too much like the Internet equivalent of selling your soul for pennies. It sounds great at the time but in the end your left feeling dirty and empty and you still don't have enough money for the bus home.
One fateful Sunday afternoon, after quite a bit too much vodka, (I know, vodka on a Sunday afternoon was bound to end well.) I was told by my (then) friends that 'Facebook' was, despite the name, the second coming of Christ and that I better jump on board or I would end up in hell, or worse with a My Space profile.
So now I have a profile, it is HERE.
I can't for the life of me work out what the fuck you are supposed to do with the bloody thing.
As far as I can tell you can make people your 'friends', even if you don't know who they are. They can then access a whole raft of your personal information, steal your identity, rack up a ton of bills under your name and piss of to Ecuador. If they didn't come from there in the first place.
Once you are 'friends' with someone you can, as well as stealing their home, write on their wall. Presumably, if you are friends with someone you would at least know their email address or phone number. Which makes me wonder what is wrong with these, reliable, proven pieces of technology. What do i need my 'friends' writing graffiti all over my damn wall. If they want to talk to me they already have 50 different options that don't involve registering for 'Facebook' and having yet another password to forget.
I will give it another few weeks and see how it goes. Worst case I assume there is a delete option somewhere in there.
Cheers
G.
