The Facebook Stupids

So, I have a Facebook, as of about 3 weeks ago. Yes, I fail and I'm probably the last person in the world to get with it and join ( Read more... )

I disagree and here's why.
1. Myspace has superior blogging capabilities, but still nothing compared to facebook.
2. Facebook is constantly violating your privacy. The 200+ people on my friends list don't need to know when I comment on someones photo, nor do they need to know when I do anything I don't post actually. The privacy settings to block this behavior are buggy and unreliable at best, and complete fail for the majority.
3. Myspace never told people on my friends list what I just bought from their Amazon wishlist for them. Facebook did.
4. Myspace never contained complete ownership over a video I made and post a link to from their site. (a video they did not host.) Those same TOS did not claim that their ownership of my video continued after I deleted my account; but facebook did.
5. Myspace never sent me 400 emails a week for invites to applications that spread like hoax viruses. This is how facebook worked by default last year.

Whoops. Number one should read: Myspace has superior blogging capabilities, but still nothing compared to livejournal.

Well, certain ToS and privacy issues aside, I prefer Facebook from a user point of view. I find the layouts generally much more pleasing and easier to navigate ( ... )

It was posted onto Google Video, Myspace Video, and Youtube. Posting it onto youtube spread it onto the all the international versions of youtube. (which I had no idea about)

If you want, I can remove your name from the tags. Just let me know.

No, it's fine, I was just having a look and noticed that the video had spread a fair way.

How've you been lately anyway? Still ridiculously busy?

Yep, I barely have time to shower. It's stupid. Things had let up for a little while, but I wasted that time being incapacitated by a stupid flu.
I'm supposed to do another video for March, and all I can think of is Ascii porn. (Good luck getting people for that.)

Everyone here got nailed by flu too a couple weeks ago. Dashiell went down like a lead balloon... he came home from school with a temperature on a Thursday afternoon, and he ran a fever until about Tuesday the next week. He spent days just curled up in bed or on the couch, mostly asleep... and you know how rare that is for him to just lie still like that. Matilda went down Friday night with the flu, and also spent most of the next week ill. Even after he got over his flu, Dash still had a cough for about a week after, and still has some residual runny nose stuff going on, and it's been about 2 weeks minimum at this point.

Lucky I just felt lousy Saturday night and part of Sunday, and that was it for me. Prez got ill maybe Sunday or Monday and spent a couple days feeling like ass and sleeping a lot.

Hahaha, yeah, I don't think I'll be helping out with that one :P
