In the end nothing can come good out of facebook

I'm shutting this thing down. As much connections you can make there is even more evil that is produced. On top of privacy being breeched there is just too much drama that can be created if you're in contact with the wrong people.

I had recently created an event page for one of my clients to launch a new product. Another customer who was upset with a delay in his shipment decides to post it on the event page wall. Thus embarrassing himself, humiliating me, and upsetting the customer who's event the page was created for. Our CEO is pissed.

I've seen it people ruin one too many lives. All it does is open up a whole heep off trouble

Facebook is awful. I can't believe so many people find entertainment and enjoyment in it. I made an account many years ago and check it maybe once a month... maybe. And, that's usually just when I need to track someone down whose contact information I don't have immediately handy.

Other than that, I've never found browsing that stupid site to be the least bit interesting. Seems to me to be mostly self-obsessed people thinking their every move is important enough that it needs to be cataloged and discussed ad nauseum.

It makes me kind of sick when I think about Facebook and the mentality of it all.

All my dad does is post stupid shit on there. I hate the old fvcks who just debate politics and post controversial shit all the time. Deleted that shit long ago.

It's a black hole.

Twitter's way better. And almost nobody is gay enough to make their twitter private, so you can stalk a lot of people

I'm not even interested in that. Just for people tagging you in embarrassing moments is enough for me. I was once at a party and while I was playing poker I stood up in an all in moment. I was wearing a tank top and right when someone snapped a picture of me my cousin ripped my tank top off. He then tagged me and titled it strip show. I didn't find out until my mom told me and asked why I was stripping at a party. :facepalm
I at least had a whole bunch of likes

Haven't had it for two years. Can't believe the amount of people who asked why I deleted it.

sheesh. you guys are slacking on his order. get that shit processed and shipped out.

It's aite. Get to keep in touch with homies from back in high school that are all over the place now

[QUOTE=moe94]You're being a bit uptight. Did that get you into trouble at work or something?[/QUOTE]

There is potential that it could be seen at work. I may not have my boss as a friend but when you get tagged it is seen by all your friends, some who can be related to my professional life. For me it's not embarrassing in front of my friends, other people can take that the wrong way. I don't see that as being uptight, just overcautious

In a professional environment you want your boss to see that stuff?

[QUOTE=nathanjizzle]sheesh. you guys are slacking on his order. get that shit processed and shipped out.[/QUOTE]


I agree, service is number one, but did you think that was professional of him?

Haven't had Facebook for over a year and a half. Best decision I've made. I had over 3 thousand people on there and every one of them posted the stupidest shit that made me hate them all individually.

[QUOTE=hateraid]I agree, service is number one, but did you think that was professional of him?[/QUOTE]

nope, hes low for that. but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to force the issue if youre the client.

also, i hope you didnt backtalk him because that would be really bad. a part of doing business is that you have to take peoples bullshit and unprofessionalism.

I never really liked it but these days it's overrun with self obsessed douche bags and parents-aunts-uncles. I'll get a bit wasted about once a month and check on pics of my nephew or something but that's about it.

Like be professional, pick up the phone and call me?

Yeah man, I hear you.

The people that are really obsessed with Facebook feel like they need to broadcast even the most intensely personal sh!t to the world.

For instance, the wife of someone very close to me -- without getting too specific -- is obsessed with it. She posts on it nonstop, every day, at all hours.

Anyway, our family dog died over the summer and it is probably the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with. But, I did so... quietly. That's the way I choose to mourn when something devastating happens. I don't want it broadcast for the world. It was for me and the people closest to me.

Of course, what happens? I look on Facebook and, literally within minutes of him dying, she has this whole memorial, attention grabbing thing up with his picture plastered all over the site and people who didn't even know him chiming in with hollow bullsh!t condolences.

I was so p!ssed I didn't speak to her for several months. That's what Facebook does... Broadcasts your private sh!t to people you don't even know.

Now I'm pissed again. Thanks Hateraid. :mad:

It's a breeding ground for bitching and complaining. One girl that's on my friendlist was upset that I unfriended her becuase I was sick of the hour updates of "omg its 9am, work till 3", "cant live without starbucks!", "selfie time!"

quite simply, no one cares about everyones pitiful lives on there

all i see on facebook these days are peoples results from taking stupid tests about what tv character would be their boyfriend or girlfriend, and links to goofy articles filled with hundreds of flame war comments, which has really showed me how fcking stupid america is becoming. good god at some of the comments you read on those.

also, facebook killed the point of having a 10 year high school reunion. :lol

my deepest condolences.....




Sorry, had to try and make up for getting you worked up!

facebook is a great place for passive revenge and to get back at your haters. when you post shit, you know the haters read it. but good thing there are privacy settings so you can choose who gets to see or read your stuff. but yeah, sometimes i'll post the most obnoxious updates about my life on purpose. it's all intentional, and only the haters get to see it. if they get mad from reading or seeing it, good. :oldlol:

:facepalm

I do not have much of an issue with The Facebook. It's kind of my only form of social media - I do not have a Twitter, nor an Instagram. I am not sure I've experienced any drama on the site in question.

I'm usually pretty loose when it comes to friends - if I've heard of them, I'll accept their requests - but if their updates become cumbersome, I hide them from my feed. That has allowed for a customized experience where I can interact only with those of whom I wish to interact, and that's nice, considering how spread about many of my friends and acquaintances have become over the years.

I never wanted a Facebook until a friend of mine forced me to start one. Had it for a few months, deactivated it, then met a girl who lived on the other side of the state.

That said, it's either: Which waste of organs are you, share if you want to prove to everyone how much of a prick you are, or a picture of a donkey.

Now Twitter on the other hand, has a lot of uses. I've used mine as a newshub and it's great.

Twitter is awesome. No complaints there.

I never got on facebook. I made one to search for someone but then deleted it. I use Twitter and it's just so much better. It is a newswire that you customize.

The only time I've used facebook in the past year is to message some dude who's girl I got with. Made up some fake name and told him, they broke up.

Don't judge me. I'm evil, I know.

you're using it wrong. social media is meant for stalking girls.

It is not good for many reasons but the OP basically covered it. It is not good when bosses and employers can google your name and your FB page pops up on search engines. Granted, that they have to be able to find you but with a little research and persistence, you will eventually be found.

It is for self-obsessed people out there. We don't really want to know everything you do. It actually makes you hate a person or friend more. I have a good friend that moved and he posts nothing but garbage and he didn't get enough attention in life, so it is no surprise that he is posting stuff that he thinks we care about. It can really give you a bad reputation.

Others may disagree, but they are already the product of FB. They are already in.

It also had a bunch of perverts and women that need attention. A woman post a picture of herself and then a bunch of people would say she is beautiful or hot and all that hot garbage.

you only need to use your facebook at home, or inside your car. I met some girls on facebook. And sometimes I chat with some of my hs and college classmates.

I HATE when attention whores do that on facebook. :mad:

I have a family member who is obsessed with that shit. Every little thing- gotta post it on fb and tell everybody private shit. Bad enough when it's about them, but when they post stuff about you w/o permission, it's the worst.

That's what you do when you're wasted? Fuuuun :oldlol:

The entire reason I never made an FB account is the fact that I have an extreme fear of mixing friends, family, coworkers. Many of my friends from HS were on the thug retard side of things and I have a great job and I don't want my coworkers whom I respect to mix with that. I also don't need my family members to mix with that.

Those three groups...friends, family, work...I would very much like to keep in their own separate universes.

From what I have read here in the US the FB population for young people is going down, they are migrating to Twitter. While the old folk are finally invading FB. That is what is causing people to leave FB, it has taken on a family setting now where everyone's grandparents, uncles, aunts, etc can gather and post old pics of you.

Its the best. how any other way I could create a group to play ball today? All this in 2 mins.

Its a very powerful promotional tool for small businesses.

[QUOTE=JtotheIzzo]Its a very powerful promotional tool for small businesses.[/QUOTE]

I have seen this with a lot of upstart businesses using this to promote and get their names out there. It's cheaper than most advertising outlets. The problem is it doesn't attract NEW customers. It mainly appeals to acquired customers and keeps them updated on current promos. Unless you pay for those ad spots on the side (which most small businesses can't afford), most of those are ignored just like the ones ------------->
it really doesn't generate any new business. Also I find that the customer base that would be interested is slowly migrated away from using facebook.

At least it's free and if you got an employee who likes keeping it up, have at 'er. It's more helpful than harmful. I might just start a page for strictly business. But using this as a personal tool to keep updated in your personal world, for me has become a dangerous and emotionally exhausting thing.

I haven't really used Facebook for like 2 years. Never really got into it to be honest, even though my career is dependent on networking.

FB is great for creeping hoes

Personally I don't use it anymore. Made a page as my ex told me it was so cool, when we broke up I deleted it, so I wouldn't be stalked.

Problem was I had maintaining duties for our band's page, so I created a new incognito one I haven't used in more than half a year again, since we're inactive atm.

Biggest problem is that it interferes with personal life. Either by putting up stuff yourself or by others you don't even want to put shit up. There's no other reasons than this for personal use.

Facebook also makes me realize how backwards this world is. You can post that you flew to Ethiopia and fed starving children yet a picture of a girl eating a red velvet cheesecake can get 10 times the amount of likes

Not quite the same thing, but we made shirts for our band and posted them. We've been up late at night for days, just to complete the artwork, paid alot of
