Facebook is pretty tiresome, for many of the reasons already beaten to death here. It's also nothing new, there were "social networks" long before MySpace, rewind to the 90s and there was the uber-cool MindVox, the less cool and old people version the Well. Nothing new here. What strikes me is the simple fact that it's kind of useless. I don't need endless status updates of people I don't really know, if I need to find my friends or share something with them, there's this new thing called a smartphone, it has my Contacts, I can share whatever I want with them and not spend my time staring at endless scrolling ads and the flotsam of people's lives.
