SNAFU: Social Networking Addiction Frazzles Us: For many,
2008 was the year that passed in a blue-and-white blur of Facebook status
updates, inane friend comparisons and awkward "poking" situations with complete
strangers.
We spent hours throwing cupcakes at people we barely spoke to in high school.
We compared our taste in movies with that of our ex-boyfriends' new girlfriends.
We let everyone know we were fans of Starbucks, "Battlestar Galactica" and pants.
Worse, where we used to just send e-mail messages, now we send the messages
through Facebook. Then Facebook sends our recipients e-mail that our friends
then use to then log in to Facebook so they can see what we've written. Then
they send their replies to our Facebook accounts, which send us e-mail, which
prompts us to log back in. New technology that's three times as cumbersome as
the old! Give us more!
So yeah, we totally deserve the imminent backlash.
