Social Networking Question (facebook)

<p>Isn’t CC equally a “social network?”</p>

<p>^ Take it back.</p>

<p>Bahaha. ^^</p>

<p>I don’t really understand why people are actually offended when someone doesn’t use facebook. What’s the deal here?</p>

<p>Facebook sucks</p>

<p>I used to have one. I decided to delete it when I had to find out some important news by seeing a message on my news feed that wasn’t directed to me but to someone else and it made me curious so I went to her actual profile and discovered the news on her FB page. I think she is assuming that’s the way to share the news w/ everyone instead of calling close relative to let them know.
She’s my first cousin and lives in England. You’d think she could pick up the phone and share the good news instead of assuming everyone will know if they just check her FB page. And at the very least let us know that she will be moving to another country! If I didn’t have FB and if we decided to take a trip to England to visit them and asked where is [my cousin], they’d drop the news on us then?! I mean it’s not so much me being upset, it’s mostly my parents…b/c it’s their niece. They should know what is going on.
It’s not the first time something like this has happened.
I also get people adding me who actually just want to keep in touch w/ my mom and not me. So they keep leaving messages saying…“tell your mom…” NO! Tell her yourself by picking up the damn phone!</p>

<p>So tired of it. </p>

<p>It can be useful for some people, but not for me. It made me feel less in touch w/ my family. Much more distant than we already were.</p>
