Teh Book of Faces
So, yeah, I'm thinking about leaving tBoF. It seems like a waste of time. I spend half the little time I spend there clicking "Ignore Application" when people send me a request to take part in yet another time sink. And I don't see any real benefit to being on there. There's so much garbage in the posts that I can't stand to be on there long enough to read the posts that matter, those that talk about what's going on in the lives of the people I care about.
Add to that the frequent changes to the layout and function, and I get homesick for my LJ, where things stay the way you set them, you can still use the site in its early layout if you want, and you don't end up feeling like you have to refer to yourself in the third person.
Also, I just think that teh Book of Faces encourages people to post endless silliness, rather than thoughtful updates.
It's so bad, I sometimes wonder why I'm there at all. Well, I finally gave in and got an account because and ex-girlfriend asked me to join so she could introduce me to a friend of hers who was also single. It was a thoughtful action on her part, but as it happened, through no fault on her part, that introduction didn't amount to anything.
But I hoped that the account would serve as a way to meet new people. However, as you can only find people if you know their names, or if you spend a lot of time on the applications or in the groups, it just wasn't helping me meet people. I know that sounds unsociable, but I'm really, truly, totally, completely satisfied with the number of people I know already who don't live anywhere near me. I love you guys that I know, but I'm not interested in meeting more people who are unlikely to ever see me face-to-face in this lifetime. I want to meet people who can go have a cup of coffee with me or beat me at putt-putt or give me a run for my money in a go-kart.
Interest groups are great, if you want to discuss that interest, but without a regional filter, they just don't do what I want.
So, anyway, I'm thinking about deleting my account there.
Would any of you care?
