facebook generation
 

tilt head to one side, slight down angle on camera, take pic, repeat, repeat, repeat.

yes, sir. I'll get right on that.

yes or you will get the hose again. wont he precious?

i thought myspace started this

facebook is like checking in with your mom when you are a teen and letting her know whee you will be later


myspace is like calling your young cousin and asking what they are up to and having them talk your ear off for hours about every inanity that came accross their litte head.

Is SYG somewhere between facebook and myspace y/n?

interesting point. it has similarities to both but more disturbed people coming here than the other two.

^^^ I find that fact disturbing.

I am disturbing

I don't think that it's only facebook that has these sort of characteristics on the pictures posted. Most people who inundate the internet with their faces and every move generally end up looking dull 'cause, like it or not, not many people can take interesting pictures of themselves. This has nothing to do with the way you look - one can't always help that - it's just that the majority of people lack any sense of style or a rudimantary grasp of aesthetics. Apart from Glice, obviously, he is a sexy transexual tiger.

I'm retiring the transexual tiger look and going for the lapsed Haredi pipe-smoker. Much more now, y'know?

quoted for truth

It's the status updates that do my head in. "[X] is going for take away!!!" "[X] is wondering when work is going to be over!!!!!!!". We all know that everyone's life is boring, but there seems to be this feeling that advertising it somehow makes it less insipid.

how many people also describe their status as 'is'? dave is, jon is etc.

there are more trolls on SYG than on myspace, facebook and virb altogether.

floatingslowly is not in yr extended network.

Yeah, the status thing is often hilarious for all the wrong reasons. The fact that it's put up there on the page like you have anything seriously interesting to say other than you are eating a packet of crisps and soon taking a shit, while you think of the porn magazine that you've found on the street, is weird in itself. I don't know why anyone would take these things so seriously. And some people really do, 'cause a couple of times some 'virtual friends' deleted me from their list of gay buddies for commenting on their status in a manner that they thought as being anything other than the light-hearted humorous banter that makes these networking sites sometimes interesting.

I put
"Rob Instigator ain't catchin' mad jacks" on my status thang.

I only joined facebook about two weeks ago, after putting off getting one for some time. It's not as bad as I thought it would be, certainly not nearly as bad as Myspace. But do I need to be informed when a girl I went to school with three years ago comments on the photograph of someone I have never met before?

I once got into a real-world argument about why I deleted all of the wall posts I had that weren't insults directed squarely at me. I've laid down a rule for drinking - anyone caught mentioning facebook within the first four rounds must get the next one. It's much, much worse in London for this, I note. It's the first conversation for a great many people. Twatlore.

Not really
The fact is that SYG implies a slice redefinition of some Internet definitions.
For instance, there are trolls on Myspace, facebook and VIRB
On SYG, though, "Trolls" are actually called "Regular posters".
Which makes this board awesome

stop contradicting me

Easily solved by turning the notifications off or clicking the "less about this person" thing.
Facebook's a handy way of vaguely keeping in touch with people without expending any effort, and a good way to hear about stuff that's going on locally, but I've not touched any of the applications in months now...

the perfect website for conceited people. who think their lives are nothing but interesting. but then again, the only good thing about facebook is catching up with people you haven't talked to. unless you remember the reason why you decided NOT to talk to them in the first place.

i've thought about deleting mine. but i'm not one to burn bridges with people who know me. even the ones that i dont particulary care for or talk to, but you never know. you might need them one day

One recent comment was along the lines of ''You and your boyfriend are two fat attention whores''. The guy also sent me a pm to tell me that I was an effeminate bitch with no (facebook) friends. Bless him.

what is yr facebook URL?

No. :D

an observation i have made regarding the facebook is that girls who use this site a lot tend to scream 'oh my god' at an alarmingly loud pitch and volume when greeting other people and then say 'oh facebook' within ten seconds of that.

this post is for floatingslowly to make up a rude new sentence with the words.

insolent little prick.:fuckyou::eek:

yeah i wanna stalk Porky and do him like he deserves to be done.

And do I really need to be informed on who my ex-girlfriends are shagging at the moment?

Insolent, yeah, prick, yeah, but I ain't no little :mad:

no thank you; I couldn't possibly!

aaawwww and it was all set up for you!

After ignoring facebook for months, I've decided today that I should try to get in contact with a few people that haven't seen for even longer.

I'll do it later, though.

I hate reading about every fucking detailed of what friends have done.

I don't know what you're all talking about and felt the need to tell you because all the kooolest people are in this thread.

you're totally off on the picture thing, jon boy. i tilt my head up, hold the camera somewhere between ten and fifteen degrees, and smile. down angles are asking for triple chins.

Are we talking secret porn?

You all disgust me.

tell me more about this secret porn. are there tentacles?
