If You’re Not On Facebook, It’s Time To Get Over Yourself

The author seems a bit too proud of Facebook. (Actually, it creeps me out whenever someone blogs passionately in defense of a product.) Maybe abstainers just don't want to deal with it? I know several people like that. They don't think they're better than anyone, they're just content to let it pass them by.

"Everyone knows one of those self righteous Facebook abstainers."

Yep, I see him every morning when I shave.

"Except really, these people aren't defending anything except antisocial, extremely annoying behavior. And if you're one of them, you need to stop."

Who am I annoying? I have about one friend who posts stuff on Facebook, and whose information I might care to see. Sorry, PK.

"Facebook is the most important way we touch our friends online, period."

For some value of "we".

"Birthdays, parties, Passover seders, graduations--they're all organized on Facebook."

They all can be organized on Facebook. (Though "birthdays"--are we organizing a birth?) Also on 3x5 index cards, with telephone calls, or by runner.

No doubt, in many respects I should get over myself. But this fellow isn't the one to tell me.

How did Zuckerberg build such a cult following? You're crazy if you don't use this service. Even Apple hasn't achieved that.
