Uncommon Opinions

Uncommon Opinions

A lot of Facebook posts annoy me and come across as phony.

Always looked as Facebook as a simple attention getter. That's it. You either want to brag or have someone feel sorry for you with your posts.

Never liked it and never will. Just my opinion.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

I hear a lot of people complain about Facebook and then when I tell them I don't have one they say "What? You need to get one!"

I'll help you out.

What? You don't have one! Good it does nothing but breed drama, no need to get one.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

I find most posts on Facebook are annoying and attention seeking, compliment fishing, or self righteous pandering. I usually leave my statuses to me ranting on sports teams. Other than that, if we aren't close in the real then you don't need to know much about my personal life.

I think I spend most of my time on Facebook wondering why I'm "friends" with these people.

I've got into cleanup mode lately. If it's someone I know I'll never talk to again I delete them. If I might need to sometime, but I don't care about anything in their life I will unfollow.

I could probably get by with twitter, but once you actually want to reply to a status the 140 character limit gets annoying.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

In general I hate social media.

However, a few years back I originally did set up a facebook page to stay connected with my distant friends up north in Rochester and out west in Seattle. I don't post or chat on there much at all, but I did like to be able to see what they are up to.

Then after awhile I deactivated it but my wife loves FB so I was requested to reopen it. Fine...but I don't want to connect to any of the kids (they are all out of the house) because I've been through FB drama before with them and have no tolerance for any more of it.

My wife gets annoyed because I still don't check it, though. LOL

Re: Uncommon Opinions

I'm going to bring it way back........

AOL chat rooms

Mplayer chat

Lycos, Excite & Angel Fire home pages

Yahoo Messenger, Yahoo Groups and Yahoo chat rooms

For those outside of the USA, MSN messenger, MSN Groups and MSN chat rooms were all the rage for non Americans

Blackplanet, Asian Avenue, Mi Gente

Myspace - was nothing but music and GIFs every damn where

Facebook

Twitter

Skype

Instagram

Vine
================================================== =====

Really it is all the same. Most people use social media either to humble brag, tell some sad story looking for pity, to recruit people to what they believe in, dog men or over glorify their kids.

Out of all them, Yahoo messenger and Yahoo chat rooms were the most fun ever. Only thing I can tolerate now is Twitter. Because at least with the character limit on Twitter, it forces people to get to the damn point. But Twitter is starting to get annoying with people posting Vines all the damn time.

I will never forget the first time I saw Skype cards in the store. I was thinking what the hell is Skype ?

Re: Uncommon Opinions

Having to explain to my mom why our AOL account was suspended because of something I said in a chat room.

AOL is by far my favorite. MySpace would be second. Both were great for picking up girls back in the day.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

I don't think you quite understand what Skype is... it doesn't really fit in with what you're trying to argue.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

I guess I see it as the running joke that we're all in on. We all want to believe we're more important than we actually are and social media gives us an outlet.

Facebook philosophers gotta go though. AIR STRIKES!!!!

Re: Uncommon Opinions

I enjoy social media and there is definitely a place for it. That being said, it can breed drama, but not if you use it correctly. I have been fortunate enough to have been put through a ton of media literacy courses in college and I think that a media literacy type course should be required for everyone to take in college, if not before that in high school. Too many people don't realize that what they put out there can by seen by most anybody if you put in the correct search terms.

I guess most people cannot formulate enough original thoughts to warrant a journal of some kind. I like using it to broadcast my flaming Libertarianism and follow/share things with my family.

Honestly, I use it mostly to follow sports and music.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

If I see another Tyrese vlog video shared some where I'm going to slap somebody with powder. Women share those videos and act like he said the most original, smartest thing ever. Oh he is so wise and so mature. Umm no, he has common sense. He is saying nothing but the same things every parent told their child before when they were growing up.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

I really liked My Space.

I kind of wish Facebook would adopt the ability to add music players that audiomatically started playing when you clicked on someone's page.

It was a great way for me to judge people.

Glitter pages.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

I never understood the Twitter craze. To this day I refuse to get an account.

"Hey guys! I'm here at the store shopping for new shoes!! Follow me!"
