Facebook Shenanigans
A curious thing has happened over the last little while over on Facebook. Since the most recent round of Facebook changes there has been an explosion of image sharing that has reached epic proportions. With the new ease of sharing, it's now possible to share material from people you never even knew existed. This seems to have resulted in some sort of impromptu, unspoken competition to see who can share the most, and the funniest images and stories.
But since this explosion I've noticed a certain dearth of substantive postings. Not that posts were particularly substantive before, but now it just seems like the image sharing has allowed people to get a little lazy. Don't get me wrong, I like a good laugh just as much as the next person, but seriously, when the only things you post are funny image after funny news story...gets a bit old.
If the story or image is particularly thought provoking then, okay, post it; but I have Feed Demon that brings me the news from sources that I actually care about, so, I'm not really interested in yours. And all the funny images -- just clog my news feed. Just sayin.'
