Maybe I'm Too Good...

This weeks post was supposed to be about an opposing side to my argument that Facebook will not be the last social network that we'll see. I tried the obvious option of Google-ing and what I found was quite interesting. No matter what combination of words I chose, "Facebook Forever," "Facebook Will Last," "Facebook Never Ending," "Facebook Finished," "Facebook Last Social Networking Site (and cite)," I keep getting either adds from Facebook itself, or blogs about Facebook ending! The most optimistic one I found in my search was Facebook lasting 5 years. AWESOME ARTICLE...yeah basically is an article that is actually titled , "Is Facebook A Fad?" and in the comments underneath it, there was a guy that said Facebook isn't going anywhere just like the mailman isn't either. I find this an interesting way to look at it. Mail isn't really used anymore, so therefore the mailman is LESS USED but they are not all dead and gone. I suppose my question of "is Facebook a fad," just like the article responses mentioned, is not really the question but when and why and the logistics of it. Facebook might even stay around, like Myspace still exists, but it will just be dominated.
     I did notice that the articles most common were Facebook pages that were supporting Facebook lasting forever and not going away and so on. People obviously like their Facebook and those pages are just ones created by avid Facebook users who are just to "like" and that's really all. I can't really disagree with people if there isn't as much as a voice out there against me as I thought. Maybe I'm going to have to change my position a tad, or just be SUPER supported and I'll take the kind-of-against-me articles and build them up...hmmm to think about

Day 39

Happy 4 Months to me :) So today is going well as far as, all of my things are getting done *knock on wood* and the weather isn't too terrible since I'm inside! I've found, as Jeremy commented on my post earlier, that facebook has become less and less appealing to me (YAY FUEL FOR MY PAPER!) Maybe this is because John is gone or because there is not a lot of activity with my friends. Maybe there never really was to begin with and I made it up with hours of pointless stalking...I mean...interest-ing. I know that interesting is a real word but I meant to use it in a way that made it fake, hints the dashy doohikee. Anyway, my itunes go through is going! I'm in the last of my B's and I will DEFINITIVELY get through them before John gets back and wow, I just spell checked my all caps word and it's a real one...awesome. I hope I'm using it correctly since I didn't even know it was a real word. Either way, this whole getting ahead in my work thing is cool accept now I have more time for...more work! Darn it. Oh well! One must for only a few more weeks. Tootles and be safe

Weight Off My Shoulders

After a fabulous weekend I am done with the most pressing of assignments for the week and it's only Tuesday! I can't help but notice though, that every time I get on that beloved Facebook, I can't look at it the same! I analyze the applications and I check out what is really being published on my wall. This is like freshman year of high school when I learned sentence structure pieces like clauses and diagramming sentences. The teacher was so awesome and I learned so much that I started analyzing billboards as I rode around. Lame, but it happened. This class is transforming the way I look at Facebook just like The Dobynator transformed my look on sentences. Thanks, I guess. All of these papers have made a difference too because I'm looking for my paper filling in Facebook which I know is the whole point but as head of the Procrastinators (meeting...tomorrow btw) this is a big deal for me. I still like Facebook and I still publish pictures and keep it up all the time but it's different now. 45 Days and I'm livin' the life. Thank you homework for being done enough that I can eat and not worry about a due date =) <3JDA<3
