Phil’s Proof » Everything that’s wrong with Facebook:
Suddenly, when all your friends have been reduced to teensy avatars, canned quotations, and endless ‘favourites’ lists, they don’t seem quite as special as you may have once remembered them.
I really liked this quote from a blog post on the problems with the big social networking sites. Don’t get me wrong, social networking sites that are targets can be great. I really enjoy the discussions on BlogCatalog and I use LinkedIn to keep in contact with people in my professional life. I just find places like Facebook and MySpace a bit creepy.
I’d recommend that people go and read the original post on Phil’s Proof to get the full context of that quote. I just came across that blog by accident and I really like the writing style and sense of humor that Phil displays there.
