postings at facebook

Yeah. I have friends in Facebook who keep posting updates about their life. They post everything like what they are doing right now and stuff like that. I find it very annoying.

There's twitter for those kind of updates. Anyway it would be irritating if someone posts every action he/she makes. If this happens to anyone I'd suggest to "hide" that person from your news feed. That way you'd have a good day.

Hi SIMPLYD, I find it's really bored and monotonous to post on fb as well. The people in my friends list doing the same tedious things mentioned above. Other than playing certain shooting games for a short while to get refreshed after working on the screen for a long time, I seldom visit the site. May be this has become the lifestyle of them to say something they feel proud or depressed therefore almost everyone doing the similar thing every now and then. It's meaningless too notification informing me the birthday of friends for the week happen to send to my mailbox almost daily. I prefer to type post here rather than to do such tedious thing all the time. May be it's quite bored some offline friends there don't show up themselves recently as well Have a nice day and happy posting

Precisely. I used to do that actually but then i realized there is no point in doing that other than bragging. So i made a new account, with less people bragging so it wont also provoke me from doing so lol..and now all i do there is just send messages to friends and nothing else..unless i feel like posting a quote for the day.. which i rarely do. But i do have friends who always posts unnecessary stuff..

Well, it does say on Facebook "What's on your mind?" for the update status - and so I guess people feel free to put whatever they want - even if it is just what exactly they're eating or doing at the moment (hee hee - I'm even guilty of that). Most of the time I post what I did with the kids that particular day - and I'll often post photos. But apparently some people don't care for that either (one friend posted why people posted repetitive shots of their babies and their stupid faces as all the photos look the same - in her opinion). I personally like seeing other people's kids and families - so to each their own - everyone has their likes and dislikes. I yawn when I see people posting quotes from famous people - but still I respect their posts and move on.

I can relate to what you mean. I see people on Facebook posting things that are truly irrelevant. It's obvious that they are looking for attention. I've cut back a lot on how often I post on Facebook. I mainly just use it now for sharing articles and links. In the end, I think it all boils down to attention. Some of these people view Facebook as a popularity contest. You would expect that type of thing from kids, but adults are doing it also. Kinda pitiful when you think about it.

i am also annoyed with these people. how can they keep posting with their activities for the day. they think they are really popular like those people in the show business or the politicians? there goes my feeling of unfriending them or unsubscribing.

I don't know about you, but it seems to me that FaceBook, even though it is extremely popular, is becoming somewhat of a social slum. It has gone as far as it could go I believe. There is no incentive for anyone to post there. So we wind up seeing stupid posts. If they decided to compensate the members, I think we will see a difference in FaceBook. Unfortunately it is so big and powerful of a site, that it is integrated into many aspects of our social life. It almost seems to be a standard for everything social these days. But I hardly go there except to promote some referral links.

I totally agree with you!who cares if they are having a meal and what they are eating!Some ,even put a picture of their meal,or drink! Really? Put something out of the ordinary every day occurrence!Like a graduation,wedding,or something That Big!

i sometimes feel this too. some people also post gadgets they just bought on facebook..why do they have to post this? maybe they are just bragging about this things...that's what i feel about it..

In my opinion, they think(the people who posts everything) that they are celebrities that everyone wants to know what they are doing, it's there moment to shine and show off, but most of the time the people who read it(like me) don't care. hahaha

Hi Simplyd, I think I am guilty with these since I tend to put some updates about myself in facebook. The moment I went to facebook last January I tend to update like a lot of things of where I went to or where I am heading or pictures that I am eating. But I don't do this like most of the time like most of my friends do, just when I have some events. Anyhow, I felt feed up already about the status and useless updates from people so I deactivated again my facebook....^^.. I am more active with instagram now since I like photography and pictures.. Have a great time!

Yeah that gets really annoying. I'm not on FB all day everyday and I only really post things once in a while and it's usually thanking people for a great night out or something funny I overheard or just anything I might be excited about. I also am getting annoyed with all my friends just constantly posting all those pictures from the internet. I don't mind if they share those once in a while but there are quite a few on my list that post like 20 a day! I can't stop them of course and can't say much as it's their page and their right to post what they like, when they like :)

one of my friend also did that ,his status was automatically updated by a software. he use blackberry phone and facebook provides an option of synching your facebook with your sim card. as we all know sim card has the ability to detect the location wherever you go !! cheers and thank you,

In many cases those types of discussions get deleted by mylot as they go against the rules.

When I was still using facebook I had a friend who like to update everything she feel or everything she do, what she cooks etc, I dont get annoyed by her habit. I understand she did it because she was very lonely, she lives in a remote area because of her husband's job, living alone away from friends and family, living with a husband who did not care for her. She use facebook to get away from her boredom, her husband had fun in the club played billiard and she had to stay at home raised 2 kids under 3 years old. I made exception for this girl, but for other friends who updated everything they do for the shake of bragging well I only laugh at them.

I have some friends who used update every moments in their life. Those things include their wishes, their good moments, the food they need, their desires to have clothes and many other things. I feel he is much addicted to Facebook. This will be the main reason fro it.

not bragging, but they r too much about being socialite in social network. The need of "is there some1 will leave a comment?" I dont know what they think, is it important if some1 knows that they r eating, or hanging out? In my social network account I will only leave comment of something important like pictures, or other important information.

Hello SIMPLYD Actually, I see this very thing here on myLot as well. People will post all manner of what they are doing during their day. And people respond to it. In fact, people seem to love responding to stuff like that.

I've accumulated several friends in Facebook, and believe it or not, only one out of around 50 friends in my network posts really important things on his mind(i.e., serious stuff about the environment, balanced with pics of family and events happening elsewhere in the world). Many of us tend to post mundane things, though occasionally I share sayings i believe in or identify with.
