I really don't like Facebook. I went back to it and reactivated my account - I refuse to use my real name. And in the description I wrote, for what its worth -
Free Bradley Manning - go to Courage to Resist [courage@riseup.net]. Facebook? What's the big deal? New opiate of the masses. I'm just researching. See what you guys are doing. Being paid to study what the cowardly new world of social networking is about. I'll stick with emails, books, tv and films. Oh and occasionally talking to people too. Why make some Californian geeks and multinationals richer? Why put up with the irrelevant and incongruous?
Because it feels like an assault - all the the tacky ads; the tackier self promotion; the suggested friends - just because they happen to be 'friends' of people i happen to have emailed in the last few years; its all form and very little or pathetic content. No thank you - can't wait to deactivate myself again. My space - what is it apart from advertising? I went to the YPRL youth space's stream and found very little of interest. I went to library hack and couldn't find any entries in their mish mash whatever.
