That's Life

Well here's why I think facebook sucks. IN COMPARISON TO FRIENDSTER. Let me make it clear that I do not believe facebook to be a contraption worthy of nothing worthy but rather something which appears overtly brilliant and filled to the brim with nonsensical shit that is quite simply redundant.

Let me expound the virtues of friendster. Friendster basically lets you get straight to the point - pictures, a short description of the person you're viewing and NO NETWORK RESTRICTIONS (which means you can view anyone's profile) Of course there are sonofabitch people who set their profile to private (yes I know you're actually the long-lost son/ daughter of the guy who invented toilet paper and hence have a family fortune) for whatever stupid reasons. But then again at least you know who these people are and can write them down in a list to verbally abuse them when you feel like it. But back to the point. I believe one can tell a lot from the way someone writes his profile. From his style of writing to his choice (and spelling) of words, you can instantly gain a general impression of the person and his background. The pictures will probably help to reinforce that impression.

Facebook on the other hand has so many applications that it's becoming ridiculous. Every other day we have someone joining a group like 'I think chocolate cakes are full of calories' or 'Oh wow save the pandas'. The amount of applications to be DOWNLOADED (what did you think the developers created weird cyberspace junk out of their goodwill for teenagers to while away their time attempting to race a stupid car against another or feed/race/pet a pet) is insane. Too many applications. In case you're wondering yes Facebook does have a 'photos applications' where you get to upload your own photos but here's the catch - if friends upload their photos WITH YOU INSIDE and tag you, voila that photo gets filed under your profile AGAINST YOUR WILL. Ok never mind.

Now that I'm done denouncing facebook and extolling the virtues of friendster, I would like to remind all of you to exercise caution when meeting online friends in person. This report is courtesy of MDA.
