Facebook, I Tired Of You Quickly

” I don’t care to belong to a club that accepts people like me as members.”
—Groucho Marx

I’m not sure why I still have a Facebook account. I haven’t signed onto it in so long I can’t remember my password. Anyway, here’s the problem with Facebook: I have too many friends who aren’t actually friends.

I was wondering if other people have created this same problem. Like most people, I live in more than one world. I’ve got people I know from work, and I’ve got people I know from outside of work, and I’ve got family. And lots of times, I don’t really mix these people. Why not? You know why not. Because I often don’t want EVERYONE to know EVERYTHING I’m doing. But on Facebook, they all get mixed together like a bad salad.

And then there are people I’ve accepted as friends who I hardly know, because I’m too polite to refuse their requests. And sometimes I’ve even been the dolt who’s initiated the “friendship,” only to discover that I can’t stand this person’s constant political rants or incessant invitations or never ending self-promotions, etc.

Maybe we need a new social networking site for people who hate social networking. I’d definitely sign up for that one.
