One of the things I've decided that I hate about Facebook is the fact that when you get people together who all incessantly check their status-update that the entire conversation as an outsider sounds like this
Chick #1 So I was in Cancun last week and it was
Chick#2 Yeah I saw the picture
Righetti When did you go to Cancun ??
Chick#2 Yeah I saw the pictures
Righetti: Wow was it scary?
Chick#2 So I saw that your boyfiend jumped off the big cliff
Chick#1 yeah it was awesome, such a thrill…
Chick#2 I saw you guys had dinner on the beach
Chick#1 yeah it was really fun
Chick#2 and how was that scuba-diving?
Chick#1 yeah it was really fun
Chick#2 the pictures looked great, sounds like you guys had so much fun
Chick#1 It was great only problem was I got really bad food-poisoning
Righetti: what happened?
Chick#2 Yeah I saw your post glad it worked out
Chick#1 yeah I had some bad-clams and
Chick#2 the hospital bed looked kind of creepy
Chick#1 yeah but the doctor on call was really cute
Chick#2 I saw his picture
It's like these two girls are having a conversation with each other without really talking with each other since they already know everything what is going on. Everything that anybody in the group says, somebody else replies that they saw them post that on Facebook. There are no thrills or surprises anymore anything interesting that happens has already been compressed to 140 characters for anybody to see. Then when the conversation goes to people who aren't even friends anymore and one person says 'did you see that Joe went to Cancun?" and they start talking about Joey's trip eventhough nobody in a non facebook world would give a crap about this clown.
At some point you realize that your friends know less about you than they do their Facebook friends because you don't update your status every few minutes..
