"Not everyone uses facebook. Any website that required me to sign in w/ that, which I refuse to have, can live w/o me".
Well, so much for that philosophy. I finally set up a phony facebook account. Now I can fritter away hour after hour commenting on newspaper articles and online forums. You have to wonder why someone does this, and yet, I do. It's sorta like writing your thoughts in the sand and watching the sea come in and wash them away.
I've never actually logged into the facebook account since I set it up to ck anything (or since Jimmy Gabriel set it up, my facebook nom de plume), but they keep sending me these emails that say "Jimmy Gabriel, you now have 55 new notifications!" regularly. Sometimes it's only 30 notifications, or less. I would try harder to get those numbers up, but I don't have any idea what a notification is. Is it good to have a lot? Or is it better to have maybe only 1, or 2? If they're like tickets or fines or something, then I am screwed. Still, it's nice to hear from them.
