Funny how facebook is just a place for people to be egotistical and exploit their own lives for the “world” to see, your note reflects that perfectly. THere are other minds, opinions, cultures, ideas out there. Yours is not the best.

I totally agree on pregnant photos. I think they’re disgusting and that crap should be covered up. What’s so attractive about that? Some people are really nuts. And all the stupid drunk people out there that think it’s cool to show off, well, these kids drive drunk, and if someone gets hurt it’s always the innocent sober driver instead of the drunk kid behind the wheel. It should be the other way around. Legal drinking should be at least 25. Really no one should drink but what can you do?

“My favorite are the people who address each other with “@name”. This isn’t twitter, and you’re not cooler or more trendy and hip by spelling “@name” instead of “name,” or “name:”. In fact, it makes you look ridiculous.”

Are you a fucking idiot? You can now post your status to the person you want to. It’s been that way since before the date you posted your comment. You type @ and a list of your friends shows up; you start typing the name @J, it will filter for your friends that have names the start with J. you continue typing their name until you see the friends name show up. @Jane Doe; you click their name and it links it to their profile.

“Posting important news (death, wedding, pregnancy) instead of calling people individually

You’d think it would be pretty straightforward- the more important the information, the more personal the venue used to disclose that information should be. How would you feel if you found out your sister was pregnant because you happened to check her FB status? Or that Granny passed away because Mom thought it would be more convenient to let everyone know through FB. Shouldn’t those closest to you find out before your acquaintances? If it’s going to be through FB, make it timely, be sure you’ve let the crucial people know first, and at the very least, send out a private message.”

How would YOU know if they didn’t tell the important people first? Has this personally happened to you? If so, then you should take that up with the person in question. A person doesn’t have everyone in their families numbers, nor the time to call everyone. So it’s just easier after personally calling those people who are considered most important to hear the news, and then make a very quick message on facebook for anyone who would care to read.

“Aside from the professionally related rules, which should be common sense to anyone with a job where it matters what you say on your Facebook, the rest of this article reads as a laundry list of things that you personally don’t like.

If you have such an issue with things that make you feel excluded, or baby pictures, chain status updates, or cryptic updates, perhaps you can put the feeds of the culprits on hide, or disable your Facebook account and keep your self righteous microcosm intact. Nobody will alienate you from humanity if your ostracize yourself of your own free will.”-RandomGuy

I totally Agree. If the poster doesn’t want to see the posts from people he/she doesn’t care about; he/she shouldn’t have added said people. I admit that the application posts CAN get annoying, but apps are APART OF FACEBOOK! And they have been since not long after I joined. I play apps; such as Farmville, I only try to post the stuff that people who play can benefit from. You easily can filter the posts you see to just be statuses from the people you care about most.

Stop bitching, poster. And learn the meaning of “etiquette” while you’re at it.

This article has only the vague appearance of an authority on the subject.
based on the opinions of the five people sitting next to me* This put me off straight away, you thought of something that we would not be able to check on, sorry, I find it hard to believe. Were these five people sitting waiting for you to finish this saga, or were they just beanie babies?
“with a newborn on the way”?
Was she having it delivered from somewhere, after it was born? That would constitute”a newborn on the way”
Perhaps “With an about to be born on the way” might have worked.
All this is said here is what we already know, lots of people use Farmville etc. and we get told about it, some people write their status without thinking about who can see it, some people put up awful inappropriate pics, do I need to go on?
This has very few facts padded out immensely for the purpose of looking as though it has something to say, which it doesn’t. On top of all this having stated the obvious, it suddenly ends!?!
Why use 20 words when 600 will do?

Don’t be so unimaginative. One of the best things about facebook is not understanding what your “friends” (most of whom aren’t really your friends, of course) are talking about, and reciprocating.
