Written a while ago (God knows when…)
The pressure upon facebook has been more and more notable the past few days. As Myspace I’ve never been attracted to that kind of ’shit’. I say shit but I don’t really have something against it. I started like everyone else to be bothered by it with the undescent amount of spam I got in my mailbox so of course that didn’t help getting a good impression of the product. Likewise, people around me started using it and I had an idea of what the thing can do. Finally I think it started to get my attention when headlines kept talking about the phenomenon some years ago.
Yesterday I took a closer look to it using a friend’s account. The concept is not attracting me at all… But I used a little bit the search engine to check out people I know. I started directly to ‘test it’. I sought memories as far away on time as I could go and try to find the oldest friend name I had during my life. I went back while I was 8 or something. And guess what, I find 2 or 3 friends I had when I was a kid. No need to say that I spent the rest of the evening to go through all names I remembered from my short life. It’s amazing how much people are having a Facebook. account. How on earth that could have happened? I don’t have that answer but I was really excited to see how people look like 15 years older. Of course, after that I was really asking myself wether I want more or not. I think my wisedom keep me for trying it as I know in advance that I will use it for a week or so and leave it rottening somewhere in my bookmarks.
However, I’m afraid soon "Getting a date with someone when you don’t have a Facebook account is going to be dodgy"
