In a way, I wish you could see the conversation that arose when I posted a link to this entry on Facebook, although all it would do is reinforce all the downsides that you and I have discussed to no end (and make the rotten fruit idea seem even better!). I left two comments on Facebook the day before, and for some reason they had both vanished by the next day. So I wrote that Mark must have known I was going to start this segment today and that's why my comments disappeared. And EVERY SINGLE RESPONSE was about my comments being deleted and not this entry, which my stats page suggests essentially no one clicked over to. I wound up with 13 comments and 3 "likes," but no one read the damn entry that was the entire point of me posting to begin with. Oh, Facebook...Becky Heinekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13761434453341152193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8919216617130786696.post-77717300011933533012011-01-28T14:34:11.720-06:002011-01-28T14:34:11.720-06:00A Facebook employee is actually speaking at the we...A Facebook employee is actually speaking at the weekly math seminar at TX state today.

That's another thing that kills me about Zuckerberg...everyone acts like he's such a genius, but the best thing he had going for him was luck. There was nothing superior (or even original) about his product, he just had good timing and rode the wave all the way in.<br /><br />But yeah, I figure if I was bold enough to make such statements back in the day, then I can be bold enough to mock myself for them now (better me than someone else!). Actually I can't think of many things in life I've been *more* wrong about than Facebook!!<br /><br />And Vanessa, you're so right! No one ever leaves FB and so even when those of us who don't love it feel like backing away, we're trapped by it!! It's sort of like Windows. I'm not a fan, but it's not like you can function in this world and *not* know how to work a PC...Becky Heinekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13761434453341152193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8919216617130786696.post-65998477113820597622011-01-27T16:58:06.846-06:002011-01-27T16:58:06.846-06:00I think though that Myspace has shot itself in the...I think though that Myspace has shot itself in the foot. I went over there the other day and it was soooo damn confusing. I was clicking links and nothing was happening so i gave up. And now that you are posting over here i doubt ill really go back... FB won in the end.<br /><br />I love that you arnt afraid to admit that you were way off the mark. FB would have to be one of the biggest things ever to hit the internet... <br /><br />But, to be honest... i do think we should be able to make our profiles prettier. I mean even hotmail has backgrounds now!Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/05664912896190639804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8919216617130786696.post-9640604096142039682011-01-27T16:35:01.558-06:002011-01-27T16:35:01.558-06:00OMFG, woman.

I said I was going to go back & read your whole myspace blog from the beginning, but of course RL has gotten in my way & I have yet to do it. Some day, I will dammit. <br /><br />That photoshop pic is fucking funny. haha... Go get 'em, PG. Zuck sucks. How's that? <br /><br />I have to say that I have had lots of days where I blasted FB because of it's stupid limitations & lameness. I still use it too, but sometimes I feel like just deleting the damn thing. I at least could do something that was my own thing with myspace. Still can. But most of my damn friends & fam are on stupid FB & never even had a myspace profile. Go figure. I guess Zuckerberg wins in the end. Of course, we could always organize a boycott of FB & show him he can't win. But we know that'll never happen, we would just be booted off while all our friends & fam stay on. OK, ranted enough for now, thanks for the great post, made me feel better.Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12460958111277286946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8919216617130786696.post-13411470905862965952011-01-27T15:05:51.070-06:002011-01-27T15:05:51.070-06:00For the sake of posterity: Current comments on th...For the sake of posterity: Current comments on this post = 0.
