Facebook is a place to boast what you have...

Oh true enough friends. I just wished that some people would stop making Facebook as their diaries. You know, posts like: "My crush passed by, he smiled!" then after a few seconds: "He's talking to me", then after another few seconds: "He looks so great and smells good too" and over and over and over again till the day has ended. I mean, I wish Facebook would limit you updating your status to the maximum of 3 per day.

Like you, i too don't like to put my updates on FB, just don't like it, i have many friends in there and i don't want each of them to know what is going up with me, it is best to be more careful and thoughtful before putting our updates on FB, that is what i believe.

Well, yeah I did find a way to ignore them, it's called filtering settings. It's just sad that there are those who don't find attention anymore in their real lives that they need to list down every single step they do for the day. Anyway, you're right, thinking about their lives would just stress me out, it's best that I just enjoy the good things I see on Facebook, particularly the games! Thank you for dropping by! Have a great MyLot experience!

I think it's okay to be happy about someone's success, most especially if he's celebrating a milestone in his career or life, don't you think? However, when you see a particular friend post every minute about what he is doing and what he is eating and what he has bout, it would soon be annoying. There even came a point when he has to take photos or document his going to the comfort room! There's a line between amusing and annoying and I think people abuse social networking sites like Facebook in order to get attention, even if it's negative attention.

True. A lot of information there could certainly cause someone's danger. Most often, we fail to realize that we are the ones who give other people the accessibility to take our identities. Have a great MyLot experience ahead!

Well I'm not saying everyone does that, but most do and if you have a lot of friend (ranging from the childhood friends to the friends in Highschool, organizations, college, work, hobbies, family, etc.) you'll soon realize that there will always be people in this group that loves boasting. As for the statement that there are people who put their feelings. I think there are times when they're just over the roof when it's early in the morning and you just turned on your laptop to the Facebook site and there lo and behold a status saying "THIS DAY SUCKS!", well that isn't a good thing to say at the beginning of the day, and I'm afraid I digest what I read thus making my day a little less fun than before reading the status. Don't you think?

Oh you're still campaigning. Anyhow, I'm not referring to mylot friends who add you in facebook. I meant your real friends who add you to facebook who's got nothing else to do but to boast what they have.

True enough, most of these people are my acquaintances or people I went to school with. I'm not really ticked by the boasting, rather, I'm just curious as to why they need to do that?

Indeed there are a lot of nice things that could be done in Facebook, I guess it really brings the world together and you can find the old colleagues and friends you haven't talked to for a long time. Relatives are reunited and there are a lot information that you can get about someone too. However, I think there are those who can't seem to get attention that they need to spill their beans all over the net. There's even one 'friend' in my list who keeps on fighting with her husband online! I mean, she posts their quarrels and statements on facebook update and I find it too much. It's good that there are those filtering settings. I'm just sad that some people can't close their private lives anymore. Thank you for joining the discussion. Have a great MyLot experience!
