interesting posts? not anymore!

I have closed my personal facebook account for that very reason. I now only use it for promoting my husbands band. Honestly it was during the election that I made the decision to deactivate the account. It seems few and far between that I actually find a post that I enjoy reading. Humans are funny creatures and creatures of habit... It seems that facebook has given many an outlet that is easier than journaling. I find facebook to be a joke at this point but when you are using it as a promotional tool it is much easier to avoid seeing the ridiculousness in people.

That could be the reason I rarely visit FB. Well they got nothing great to post so they post such msg. They are in a war or something where they they want to update status frequently or they would be beaten by their other friends who do so. Hope this helps!

I just ignore senseless messages and posts. They are annoying but it's there so I just leave them as they are. Those who posted them enjoyed what they are doing, they're happy about it. Maybe that's their outlet when they are mad or depressed and posting makes them relieved of their distress and loneliness.

I agree that Facebook has some ridiculous statements, such as what they had for dinner or where they went for a walk. I think it would be more interesting and worthwhile if people on Facebook would discuss the news. It would be stimulating to hear the various viewpoints on meaningful topics. It would also be meaningful to others if people on Facebook could give valuable suggestions as to the best places to shop and why. People could also mention great places to eat, and describe the menu, prices, and where located. There is so much information that can be given on Facebook that could be of value to others.

Well, that is the reason why I stopped posting a status in my facebook account too... For it really bores me. I was addicted with FB then but when I realize that the majority of facebookers are keeping on posting about unworthy things then got been likes by others then I found it stupid, and most of all I hate the copy-paste status of many... I understand if they post how they are in love or if they are broken hearted or if they are feeling hatred... I understand the status post about what they are feeling but I am not into liking someone's post just to indulge them...

agree with you, lots of people always update their status for what they do and what are they. Even for some status that they've posted will trigger some problem for themselves and family and get more complex on them. But they still doing this, i dont know what of their brain and still do this. I think FB account is great to share knowledge, the new things about world, and other activities that can help other people. FB is like paparazi for now what can i saw now, too many words that issued by people that dont know what they published on it.

I know I am probably just as bad about some of my things on facebook as the people you are talking about in this discussion. I do not post anything religous or political on my fb , because there is way to many who do, and then there is all sorts of squabbling about who is right and who is wrong in my opinion it should be each persons choice to pray to whomever they like , and to vote which way they see fit. I post messages to my kids & family for the most part. Sometimes for friends and i do post pictures I think are amusing especially if the content reminds me of someone. I do get annoyed with some of the people on my list (my cousins for the mot part) a few of them have the worst potty mouths or should I say potty fingers that ever hit a keyboard. Obnoxious and rude. But they are family and to keep up with my Aunt I can't block them. I for the most part hide on my games in fb while there . I do know what your saying about status' some of the stuff is just way too far out there.I am happy most of my friends are more mature about their posts.

I agree with that and as a result of that, I delete my facebook account, it was waste of time and nothing else...

Yes I have also noticed and in my opinion, It is a sort of experiment to see what their friends are fond of. I do that sometimes posting whatever I would think of (without thinking) and delete it later if the thread does not get that long.

some people are really like that. everyone is different and we cannot really control how people do and say things on facebook. it is kind of annoying sometimes how we see and read posts like this from friends on fb but as for me, i would rather not say everything about me and my life on status updates because some people really don't care that much and you are just revealing things that people on your list, even strangers or not so close to you an opportunity to snoop on you and your life and stuff like that..so it is not worth it anymore.

I feel the way you feel. It's annoying already to see that they have to make a post of nonsense things about them. I they're just bragging where they at like a restaurant or club. Some were posting how they're mad at someone,hehe.. and what I'm so annoyed is theyre praying in fb,haha ex: oh thank you so much God for letting me pass the exam. Why they can't pray directly, sincerely to God without posting it through fb. That's it.

I think the something and that's also one of some reason why I deactivate my Fb account long ago. I dont understand why people need to post about their argument with their partner or even arguing on someone's wall. I found it just fascinating ..(Joke!)

I think its because they want to feel accepted and that some people care about them, these things showed by the amount of likes or comments they get in each status. I don't write about that trivial stuff, just some jokes and important things, but i know some people comment the first thing that they see passing by their window...

most peolple use copy paste nothing new thats why fb is becoming bored

On the one hand Facebook posts can seem kinda mundane, but on the other hand, they work in my family. There are some family members, for whom Facebook is their only way of keeping up with the rest of the family. I know it sounds totally atrange, but that is how an entire branch of my family communicates.

Not all of us are born to be interesting and much more a writer, so I wouldn't expect much in Facebook. People will do what they like and want to do in it - they have rights, you know. It is a social networking site and it is just a norm where it allows everyone a time to conduct their own reality show. You may find it uninteresting but there will be others who does not mind especially when they like to keep tabs of one and the other. It is just like everyday life where we ask each other what we are doing and so on. It is just human here.

I don't know. With the popularity of mobile-devices, Facebook feels more like a 'Captain's Log'-recorder (You know; "Captain's log, stardate 12282013, we beamed down ... a whole MESS o` stuff ") Whereas Facebook status-updates USED to be mainly for 'events' (ranging from 'watching something on TV' to 'bearing new children'), now they're applicable to ... anything you feel like telling more people than yourself. I guess stuff people post on Facebook is like the 'butterfly flapping its wings': yeah, maybe it 'starts the hurricane' or whatever; but more-often you let it blow over & don't really notice it.

Most people really treat their facebook as their diary wherein they tend to put their lame and sometimes censored feelings and the things they do during the day. Furthermore, some people also uses facebook as a means of criticizing and ruining the images of other people.

I feel on you this; sometimes this is quite irritating and annoying. Somehow, such people aren’t that aware on their responsible usage on social media wherein they’ve taken overboard their freedom of expression by posting some unappealing contents over their social media accounts. It is also in effect of some people who are new to social networking and are very fresh on their discovery in some sort, such people are blinded by the hype of social networking sites wherein they are quite curious that results to posting contents that are quite childish.

just like here also, there are discussions which may not be interesting. but in every bad side of things there are also the good things, it is the good things that makes us stay.
