Facebook, Myspace, Twitter. --FWIW I don't actually hate them, but they are completely irrelevant to my interests.

What is DM of the Rings? I clicked on that and the link didn't work. :?:

I hate:
Myspace
Facebook
Twitter

All the sites that pander to all of a person's narcisistic tendancies, and gives a '"Look at meeeee, I'm using technologggyy, ain't I cool and 'with it?" vibe ai't even worth all the pixels in this -> :roll:

So I don't even bother.

I hated Myspace from day one. What is it, but a collection of avatars spamming each other's walls with ugly graphics in a desperate bid for moar attenshun plox?


it's an amazing place to find great music from all over the world, free of the middle man for the most part. if you are into that. it's true that it's also the world capital of tacky and sleazy, though, but I just ignore that stuff.

for the website I hate, it would definitely be facebook.

haha i was about to post the same thing


scandalous!

now as per topic...myspace, it's like you want to give your computer a stroke if you go on there.
i'd be okay if facebook gave you a specific type of background that you could put on you're profile. nothing spasm causing or anything.
pandora, i know people who are on there constantly...and i mean constantly. so it's not hate it's just that i don't use it as frequently.
twitter, meh. good for stalking celebrities and sociological observations, that's all.
homestar runner, i used to like it. now it's just really dumb, like thumbwars and thumbtanic.

Something Awful - lost its edge around 2003
Myspace - was going to use this site to post music but it's impossible for me to figure out how to upload my music.
Twitter - Won't touch thi site with a ten-foot pole

I really believed I was the only person in the world who hated Facebook!

Myspace is second on my list of hates, and probably last. For some reason which I can't even explain, I don't actually mind Twitter. That said, I don't have an account and can't remember the last time I went on there.

It's an episodic webcomic based on screen captures from LotR with the premise that the story is a tabletop RP campaign and the players are in it for whatever gives the most pluses. Site seems to be down at the moment.

I second the Onion. They are not funny enough for the length of their articles, which is the worst kind of not-funny-enough.

I just rediscovered Buttersafe. Still terrible. Still popular. And of course, Perez Hilton.

Twitter is a trendy pest. Twitter this, Twitter that. If I saw that little blue Twitter bird flying around I'd land the f***ing thing with my gun if I had one handy. Only went there twice, once to get an update on Slash's upcoming solo album and then to find out straight from the developers about why Last.fm was down one day. It was teh g4yn3$$.

I can tolerate it. I don't use it or MySpace much anyway, Social networking sites bore me to the point I rarely log in so I don't find myself hating them as much. It's the hype over someone making someone laugh by sniffing a burrito while their friend is singing along to Nine Inch Nails that I hate (no really, I just read this in a Wall post on Facebook). Big deal. Why do we care? And why do we care that you can't do your homework just because it's cloudy (I really read that, too!!)?!
