past its prime?

so i came across THIS article on macworld.com, who apparently found it on PC world. its about facebook. read the whole article if you are interested. its not that long. but ill pull out the five headlines from the article for those of you who are too lazy to click the link.

1. Facebook Veterans are Defecting to Twitter
2. People Who Actually Have Lives Don't Use Facebook
3. In the Real World, People Often Have Good Reasons for Losing Touch With Old Friends
4. Having too many friends takes the edge off facebook postings
5. After That ‘25 Things’ Note, There's Not Much Left to Say


I don't really know what points 4 & 5 mean. but I can tell you that 2 & 3 are bang on. anyway. found this article interesting. especially since i have been making similar points for a while now. things that support your own view point are always entertaining, no?

in other news. Stephen Harper thinks ?all taxes are bad taxes? this could get ugly.

you are as cynical as ever.
i love it.

and blair. you are as ridiculous as ever. love that too.

and facebook. yep. still sucks. but i'm still attached.
all 5 of those are bang on. i especially like number 5 because i never got on that lame 25 things bandwagon. basically, as if having facebook isn't self-worshiping enough...someone had to create a 'note' where you filled out 25 random things about yourself so people could get to know your personal business even more than they already did.
