Why do I care about your vacaton, facebook, youtube videos?

[Molly]

I have recently "unfriended" several "friends" on FB. Just don't feel like wasting my time.

What? People post pictures and stories of their vacations on Facebook? Is this something new?

[IMADreamer]

but why is the question? Does anyone really care? It's the modern day equivalent of "check out the slideshow from our vacation"

[Secret Weapon]

it can be a good way to archive your photos into different albums and have them all in one spot if you ever want to go look at them again

plus some friends and family do like to see how their loved ones are doing, if you are not one of those people then you can just ignore it

I barely use facebook anymore because of this sort of thing. Trying to keep up with what others post is a hopeless endeavor (and I don't just friend everyone willy-nilly either, mind you) and keeping others updated on my life on there is taxing and would take far too much time. I only use it as a place to store photos anymore and update my personal info as needed for the purpose of employer/interviewer background checks.

While I'm at it. WTF is with tagging people or "checking in?" Not too long ago a "friend" of mine checked us in at a Cardinal game, which is harmless enough on the surface but it basically announces to the world I'm not home go steal my [expletive]. I didn't know they did it until that night when I got home. I called them up at like 1am and chewed their ass out. They got a swift defriending and I haven't really hung out with them since either. That is [expletive] to not respect someones privacy like that. I do not want people to know where I am at all times.

Hell two years ago when I was diamond ring shopping my dip [expletive] cousin posted on facebook that he was with me "diamond ring shopping." What a [expletive] moron. Luckily him and my gf are not friends or he could have blown the whole thing.

Actually now that I'm thinking about it, I think I'll defriend everyone on my list. Still have to keep the account open for business crap. blah.

I understand the vacation photos. It is bragging, but whatever.

Tagging I am not a huge fan of, but I understand why some people might like it.

Not a fan of "checking in". Just feels like dumb bragging. Also people who post a picture of just about every meal they eat. I don't care what you are eating every damn meal.

You know there are settings that you can select to prevent "tagging". Sounds to me like you should just delete your whole FB account.

If you guys can't enjoy MadReamer's misanthropic rants then you're not trying.

Life's way too short to be a dick about this kind of thing or to get riled up about it.
