The Thing With Facebook

You know how facebook is the in-thing nowadays and Friendster is so so passe, well I’ve not caught the facebook bug yet, maybe it’s because too many applications and stuff in there.

I’m quite a simple person, so to me ‘less is better’

I signed up because everyone was signing up and raving about it. My first add was a blogger fren, Myztika and slowly I’ve amassed more ‘friends’. I’m trying not to make facebook like a cheap whore like I did with Friendster, I’m adding specific people only


In fact I think this is where social networking is heading, applications where the user create themselves. Modules made by the people, for the people

Anyway I was looking to join my old alma matta, I joined Singapore Polytechnic and NTU school groups, but I can’t seem to find ITE group.

Don’t tell me ITE peeps are not facebook savvy … haha

We’re not that stupid ah, so I decided to create one myself! Are you from ITE? Well join the ITE facebook

Also I created a general interest group, “Born in the 1970′s” facebook group. Hahaha yes I’m that old. This should be fun

    HAHA…

    you actually created a 70s group? LOL, Sha, lol. Haha..
    You should join Krispy Kreme for Singapore too.

    I think Facebook is better than Friendster in a way that, you cant put some fancy twittish nickname as your profile name i.e. ”:PwrinCeSZzZ:” or whatever. So it’s easier for you to search for your friends. And there are tons of applications, which is senseless yet, the whole idea is to interact with your friends in a fun/noti way. Haha.

    And I wont suffer anymore eyesores looking at pages with freakenly irritating moving glittery .gif images as background.

    Facebook pwns Friendster, anytime.

      Hey totally agree with you on that portion. So irritating with all the blinking and funky themes / css and etc.
