- I LOVE Facebook because I can reconnect with old friends I lost touch with a long time ago and have really, really missed.
I HATE Facebook because old friends can now reconnect with me even though I totally lost touch with them on purpose.
- I LOVE Facebook because some of the people I once knew don’t look anywhere near as Fabulously-Wonderfully-Incredibly-Happy as me, which unleashes my not-so-inner self-centered bitch and leaves me feeling smug and superior.
I HATE Facebook because some of the people I once knew now look much more Fabulously-Wonderfully-Incredibly-Happy than me, which unleashes my not-so-inner Samantha Baker and leaves me feeling like I’ll never measure up.
- I LOVE Facebook because it’s fun to post silly little updates that I crack myself up with, like “V-Neck + Man equals PLEASE DON’T” and “I still love you Morrissey, you whiny bastard.”
I HATE Facebook because sometimes I post ridiculously lame updates that make me sound like a complete tool, like “Just farted. You know it’s bad when the dog gives you a dirty look as he leaves the room” and then later I realize my high school boyfriend can see that.
- I LOVE Facebook because I can pick and choose the most adorable pictures of myself and my family (mostly my family) to post for everyone else to admire and envy.
I HATE Facebook because other people can post horrible, awful pictures without my consent or approval, leaving all of THEIR friends to think that I look like a creepy, chinless goose-man.
- I LOVE Facebook because sometimes I find awesome people like Ken.
I HATE Facebook because sometimes I find scary people like Ken.
- I LOVE Facebook because I can use it as a tool to promote my blog and other causes I support, using lots of very cool applications.
I HATE Facebook because I have yet to figure out how to actually use any of those applications.
(Side note: People, please stop with the “L’il Green Patch.” I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT IS.)
- I LOVE Facebook because everyone is doing it.
I HATE Facebook because everyone is doing it.
- I LOVE Facebook because it’s not weird and porny like MySpace has become.
I HATE Facebook because I’m pretty sure one day it will be.
Stumble it!

I gave up on my facebook page forever ago when they started all those applications. I just don’t have the time for the poking and stuff. On the other hand, I sort of gave up on myspace as well because of well, like you said, it’s porny.

I often forget people from school read my updates too. Isn’t only my cool blogging friends that read my facebook updates and totally know I’m being funny and not gross?
I also don’t know how to operate those blog promoting thingies either. And I wish people would stop nominating me for the prettiest person contest, the ass kissers.

Unlike nearly everyone of Facebook, I have a very small number of friends. Most of them are people I have met through my blog, and a few are relatives. I visit maybe once a day, for thirty minutes or so, and leave it at that. Not sure how long the romance will last . . . if you can call it that. We’re still dating, having coffee, getting acquainted . . .

The other day, my Facebook update let the world know that I was cookin’ MCs like a pound of bacon. You know I like to keep things relevant. I don’t talk the bloggy talk on my Facebook (even though I have some blog friends there) because, well, my Mom is also one of my Facebook friends (awww…), and what she doesn’t know won’t hurt her, I say.
Also, when I read the comments back and forth among those I went to high school with, I often wonder what the hell high school they went to because I don’t remember the experience being as uproariously awesome as they all seem to (and I also think they perhaps have a Facebook group where they all make fun of me and I just haven’t found it yet because hello, I am totally Allison Reynolds…)

I was going to do a post much like this — but you beat me to it. And might I add you summed it all up quite well. I HATE that others can post fugly pix of you without your consent. Yesterday I found out my daughter, who swore she didn’t have a Facebook page, not only did have one, but was dissing me on the Internets, to a mutual “friend.”
So, yeah …
December 30th, 2008 at 2:04 pm
Totally agree. Love / hate Facebook. Sometimes I cringe when I see “People You May Know” pop up on the side – and I’m thinking “Gawd I hope they don’t find me.” That’s so terrible to say. LOL

I deleted my little green patch the other day. Time waster. I like to spy on people I used to be friends with, but then it makes me all nostalgic and sappy sad, so that is stupid.
I have something for you over at my blog, so come and check it out when you have time!

I kind of like Facebook (much more than MySpace, which I flirted with for like 5 minutes years ago before the skeeviness and the blinding home pages did me in)(Seriously, do those people think their pages look GOOD?)(And who are all these people with Celtic tattoos?). But I also ignore everything that people send me. I don’t want your patches, your causes, your invites, your quizzes. I want to see your updates to see if you are still funny and your photos to see if you turned ugly post-high school. That’s it.

What an awesome post – I couldn’t agree more. My biggest gripe is how you have to talk in the third person. “Sue is eating cheese.” I feel like Bob Dole.
And it’s like TOO much information. “Ann Smith changed her profile picture.” “Joe Jones edited his education profile”.” “Linda Thomas joined the I Love Socks club.”
Twitter kicks Facebook ASS.

I have told my friends that I ignore ALL of those application things. It’s nothing personal against them, I just don’t like that nonsense. That’s why I hate facebook.
I like reconnecting with people. I like that I can block people and they won’t even see that I exist. I like that I can put who I am out there and I don’t have to have a five hour conversation about it. That’s why I love facebook.
The biggest (and only remaining) problem I have with facebook is everyone’s seemingly inherent need to comment on every status update I have. I can’t really post that “Melanie is pissed off at her boyfriend” because then everyone will ask WHY, and I’m not telling. Plus, my friends list recently exploded when the people I know started using facebook (I used facebook before it was cool to use facebook) and I feel like I’m letting everyone peek in the windows to my house.
I’m way too much of an introvert for that…I think.

I have a love/hate relationship with facebook as well, especially now that some other high school friends have found me through other HS friends….There’s nothing like getting a message from one of them — one you thought was hot no less, after posting a status update about stepping on a lego and crying about it, and said person told me, and I quote; “Yep, you’re the same old Auds…still the class clown.”
WTF did I ever see in him?
January 2nd, 2009 at 11:43 pm
Oh and he’s not hot any more. More like polar ice cap COLD!

Yes. All this is true. I love Facebook because I can connect with people I knew from the past. I hate Facebook because the people I knew from the past can continue to snub me the way they did in the past which is why i wasn’t friends with them but forgot.
