Thread Name: BS: 'Unfriended'...
Subject: RE: BS: 'Unfriended'...
The thing that gets me about Facebook--and it really infuriates Jan--is that the overwhelming majority of posts on Facebook seem to be total trivia. She posts about environmental issues--trying to publicize Sea Shepherd, stop shark-finning, save the elephants, stop the sale of glue traps, etc. And is mostly roundly ignored--even by her real friends.
Facebook seems to be the high-tech equivalent of gossip over the fence.
I don't bother with it.
At least on Mudcat if we have disputes they seem to be about things that matter to us--like politics or music. She wants me to start posting about the issues she emphasizes---which are certainly worth grappling with.
