Ok so I am sure some of you have heard about Facebook being attacked with a law suit by some of the developers old school friends. Word on the street is the Developer of Facebook stole the source code from some of his old classmates (which I'm sure he did). If you want to know more on it there are a bunch of news articles out there. Thats not what I'm writing to talk about.
Instead, I want to talk about the controversy that these websites bring about (if you let them). Sites like Facebook, Friendster, Myspace...etc. All these sites for the relationship goers out there just tend to get in the middle. Drama is brought about because a girl from back in the day leaves a message on "the wall" or an ex-fling is still messaging back and forth. One way or another Drama gets stirred into the relationship equation. I think its pretty pathetic on how these sites are destroying our culture in a sense. Yes I agree, they are a great networking tool, and really good if you want to find an old friend. But I have to say I deleted both my facebook and myspace accounts about a year ago now and my life has been so much easier! I don't have old flings calling me up, or ex-girlfriends getting mad when they find out I'm in a new relationship etc. and this isn't just me, allot of my friends have or are going through the same thing. I tell them to just deactivate, but they just can't, its an addictive drug thats hooking to highschool students and up.
Enough ranting, in the short-run, these sites do have their pro's but the cons just add up! Its one thing to check for a message every once and awhile and another to be overly obsessed by waiting for that inbox to say (1)....I just find it a little ridiculous...specially when a relationship is destroyed because of it. The maturity level just isn't there on these sites.
--I think it would be a good start to see facebook taken down--
Let me know...
