I've been on Facebook about 36 hours, and I'm already sick of it. It's nice to connect with people I haven't seen in ages, but it is just so full of useless stuff. Plus, I have no idea how it works. I'll get notifications (which I should probably turn off, before my inbox dies) that say someone posted a comment to me somewhere (is your Wall still a thing?) but then I can't find it where I think it should be. That's the way life goes.

I just facebook as a chat client for people who are not technologically savvy enough for a real IM or I don't really know that well

Facebook is a good way to find out which friends and relatives are marginally retarded. When I remembered I could block posts and did it to every meatheaded meme one of my cousins shares it became much better. Better meaning 90% Onion and NPR stories. Luckily my particular personality disorder shields me from the emptiness many would be filled with the impersonal reality that is my Facebook. I care more about some people here than I do for a woman I slept with when I was 17 who's entirely too old to be making the duck face in every picture
