Should I join facebook again? I used to just join everything but I’m making a concerted effort to keep my virtual life under some semblance of control at the moment and facebook seems like it might blow that out the water - what with its stalkertronic interface and its startling potential for allowing people I work with find me on the internet.
Over the last few years I’ve had accounts at friendster, bebo, tribe and myspace and to be honest they all amount to the same thing (a waste of time) , is this one going to be defunct in a few months too as people desert it for the next one?
But I know loads of people who use it and check it all the time and seem to be having fun. People who wouldn’t know their RSS from their elbow (I’m sure someone must have used that joke before), are using it and that hasn’t really happened with anything else.
But I’m just suspiscious of it in a more general way, like the way I suspiscious on peole with video cameras, there’s something I find slightly queezy about the whole thing.
anyway…
Show your reasoning in the comments if you want.
And then Neil said:
Your comments anti seemed pretty coherent when we talked about it last week, but it is pretty good fun!
And then tom said:Well it looks like the yeses are narrowly beating the huh?s I’ll give it another week…
And then sean said:You should join, if only because of the awesome ‘pitch ‘n’ pun’ group that my friend andy set up in which you pitch a film based on a pun of an already existing film. i.e.
“A camera team follows international music icon Madonna as she travels the world encouraging fans to indulge her previously hidden fetish for having gifts of beverages made by steeping processed leaves bestowed upon the lower, narrow portion of her uterus.
Honour Madge’s Tea-Secret Cervix”
(on her majesty’s secret service)
That’s one of Guy’s.
Join me.
And then tom said:OK, so I think I’m going to join then, but in order to maintain equilibrium I’m going to delete my myspace account.
