I call B.S.

Seems like a bunch of crap to me. I wonder if someone from Facebook paid them to do that story.

Social media is junk in my view anyway. Too many people treat it like a popularity contest and "collecting game". A majority of the friends and followers they have- they don't talk to or even notice. It's pretty stupid to me at least. Then they celebrate when they have 1000 or 10,000 or whatever random big number they pick. But in reality- the true friends are the ones that matter, not ones that you never even talk to!

In that case, I should already be dead.

Is that ever true! Me too!

I know someone with over 2,500 Fakebook "friends," and he complains about being "lonely." Of course his fake "friends" (Zuckerberg's translation of the word "audience") are mostly people he's never met.

And of course, the 5 hours or more a lot of people spend on Fakebook photoshopping their life is time they can't ever re-allocate to doing something that would actually help them connect with anyone. As far as I'm concerned, wasting time on Fakebook is just kissing Wall Street's ass and creating free content for Zuckerberg.

lol.

What about very old people who have nothing to do with Face Book?
