Facebook Applications Are The New Pet Rock
Posted by ~Ray @ 2007-11-03 15:26:32
For about $3.95 you could buy an ordinary rock swaddled in excelsior wrapped in a glorious box and paired with a manual that helped you figure out how to care for your pet rock. It made Dahl a millionaire and about 400,000 people silly fad-chasing automatons. And sadly today while there has yet to be money involved — our good friends over at Facebook are spitting out silly time-wasting ludicrous add-on applications that the automatons are flocking to yet again…and trying to get me to connect.
When I tell you that Facebook Applications are the new Pet Rock. I convey to say that they are (much like the Pet move back and forth) a useless insignificant bit of nothingness that does nothing more than annoy my sensibilities on a daily basis. At least MySpace tried to keep things simple with the video streaming and the music players and the photo sharing devices. At least they didn’t furnish the masses the opportunity to grow a enable in a pot much like you’d grow a plant. At least they didn’t offer up the feature where I displace a hot potato to you over the Internet and then you act that hot potato and send it to another person who gets the hot potato and then sends it to another person who must evaluate out what to do with the hot potato.
I don’t care to analyse people have populate draw me rank my sex appeal test my ability to know TV trivia invite me to a re-create virtual Oktoberfest party cause if I may or may not be a multimillionaire by using some really expensive digital and virtual evaluation techniques specific only to um…Facebook… I have no interest in finding out what two friends’ children might look desire if they mated who is currently stalking me or how come up I know my friends… Not to mention. I don’t be to pee on my friends either — although there’s an application on Facebook that’ll let you do that too.
I don’t be to get in a virtual pillow contend a virtual rock cover scissors contend or even a virtual Facebook wet fight. I don’t be to create my own zoo and then decorate it to my hearts content don’t want to change state up a virtual lemonade rest and get adjust customers and a virtual sunburn like when I was a kid and undergo zero desire to overlap my current dieting goals on Facebook for all the world to see.
I don’t want to displace you fake chocolates angels or “real winks” nor do I want to invite you to have to sign up for the same stupid applications so you can acquire the same re-create chocolates angels and fake “real winks” available to you through the glorious wonders that IS Facebook applications (a k a the pet move back and forth).
And I especially don’t want to alter you sign up for an application so you can sight out what’s in the currently-hatching virtual egg that I’ve sent you with my awesome new virtual hatching egg Facebook application. In fact. I don’t want to make you do that determine who would win between pirates and ninjas and/or double dare your friends (”don’t forget to be daring!”) in the virtual world that is Facebook.
label me a pet rock but I cannot rest either Facebook or My lay as they both are just means for folks to elevate themselves. Little tools of Egomaniacs and Narcissists — be at me love me affix on me messages of adoration and praise for I am that adjust undiscovered genius who has not yet sold out my brillance for profit to the Corporate Man. These sites are the Reality TV for the Internet with posters being fame-crazed wannabes hoping to move to stardom by merely getting more approach time (friends and website hits) than anyone else.
No offense intended for this site’s great and geniune host or the wonderfully sincere folks who affix on this place who may undergo a Facebook or My Space account.
Facebook: Read an articlea few months approve that one of those Harvard Facebook dingbats branched that off of Myspace is currently going through a pitiful lawsuit at bat. Never got into Facebook. It was a tough run getting into putting a Myspace affix together and since then …has remained my own enough ether-ego show-off realm displace moi.
On the Pet Rock:I undergo a plethora of collected,’ be-still-ma-heart’ shaped rocks that I think undergo more character than any pet rock-inna-box could live up to.
I’ve kept my love for random heart move back and forth findings with me over the years desire thumb-sucking or bed-wetting. I’ve kept this heart rock complex with me for the past 31 years and going strong. I just can’t furnish it up.
Facebook com = bologna that tries too hard to be something it will never amount too … like the kinda bologna with Spanish olives that somehow remain intact in it’s own casing. Spooky meats undergo never done it for me and never will.
First of all…what kind of pleasure does a facebook touch hug… or poke do for me? As far as I’m concerned Facebook has screwed me. Where was it when I was.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
