Spot on. Addicted for a week checking out old school friends lives, laughing at the extremely flattering photos of some of the more agricultural girls at work. Poking celebrities only to be ignored... Then the novelty fades and I check about once a week or update my status with something hilarious. That's it.
Hasn't ruined my life but I have found a few old friends that got lost in the hurly burly of modern life. -----Original Message----- From: McWilliams, Brendan, VF-ES (bmcwill) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: 14 January 2008 15:14 To: LEEDS LIST <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [LU] Essential Read Of The day Such a LOT of fuss about Facebook I've always thought, and the evaluation is plain bonkers. I did respond to the DELUGE of "invites" last summer and am on there, but IMHO it has an initial novelty value but quite then quickly fades away. -----Mensaje original----- De: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] En nombre de Tim Leslie Enviado el: lunes, 14 de enero de 2008 15:45 Para: LEEDS LIST Asunto: Re: [LU] Essential Read Of The day Completely disagree Mark, particularly the following snippet: Why on God's earth would I need a computer to connect with the people around me? Why should my relationships be mediated through the imagination of a bunch of supergeeks in California? What was wrong with the pub? (I particularly liked the last 5 words here ;-)) And does Facebook really connect people? Doesn't it rather disconnect us, since instead of doing something enjoyable such as talking and eating and dancing and drinking with my friends, I am merely sending them little ungrammatical notes and amusing photos in cyberspace, while chained to my desk? A friend of mine recently told me that he had spent a Saturday night at home alone on Facebook, drinking at his desk. What a gloomy image. Far from connecting us, Facebook actually isolates us at our workstations. > > What a bunch of tripe....and anyone or anything that opposes > Moveon.org is alright by me! _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
