If You’re Not On Facebook, It’s Time To Get Over Yourself
- pwg 15y agoFacebook == The new AOL
- mattgreenrocks 15y agoThe author seems a bit too proud of Facebook. (Actually, it creeps me out whenever someone blogs passionately in defense of a product.) Maybe abstainers just don't want to deal with it? I know several people like that. They don't think they're better than anyone, they're just content to let it pass them by.

- cafard 15y ago"Everyone knows one of those self righteous Facebook abstainers." Yep, I see him every morning when I shave. "Except really, these people aren't defending anything except antisocial, extremely annoying behavior. And if you're one of them, you need to stop." Who am I annoying? I have about one friend who posts stuff on Facebook, and whose information I might care to see. Sorry, PK. "Facebook is the most important way we touch our friends online, period." For some value of "we". "Birthdays, parties, Passover seders, graduations--they're all organized on Facebook." They all can be organized on Facebook. (Though "birthdays"--are we organizing a birth?) Also on 3x5 index cards, with telephone calls, or by runner. No doubt, in many respects I should get over myself. But this fellow isn't the one to tell me.
- gersh 15y agoHow did Zuckerberg build such a cult following? You're crazy if you don't use this service. Even Apple hasn't achieved that.
