Back when FB didn't exist... Friends didn't just talk about that kind of stuff either. That's like the typical smalltalk you make with people you don't really know, not conversations you have with friends.
To me FB just seems like an extra dose of that unnecessary smalltalk mixed with self-promotion with the only real benefit being basically an address book.
- lotsofcows 9y agoBefore Facebook existed, if I didn't see someone for a year, I could pretty much guarantee I wouldn't see them again (barring odd coincidences). These days I can arrange to hook up with an old colleague through Facebook because of Facebook and via Facebook and know exactly where s/he is in terms of work/relationships/kids, without the social pressure to spout the traditional cliches.
