Things I like about Facebook: a. It’s good for finding people you used to work with twenty years ago, exchanging one mail to discover neither of you has done anything of interest since you last met, and then feeling that maybe it would have been better not to have made contact at all; because now you have to suffer their daily updates on what they had for lunch. b. It’s good for publicising your business/hobby to other people.
Things I don’t like about Facebook:
- Everything else.
- See 1
I have four Facebook accounts. One is for Pattaya Days and every post I make here ends up there. As a result I get a few hits a day from my Facebook page. Another account is for me and that is where I suffer the daily updates of all the people I used to work with. Then there is an account for my polo photography where I have more than my fair share of beautiful south American women as followers and I get a chance to publicise my photos in the hope someone might buy them. Finally I have an account for playing poker, where I have found that being a cute young girl with large breasts gives you a better chance of taking down punters in a game.
So I use Facebook; but I detest doing so. A Facebook page looks like Zuckerberg and his mates are projectile vomiting words and pictures onto the screen in random sequence. Up until a couple of days ago there was a heading for Top News and another for Most Recent. I could never work out what each provided; both seemed to contain a pathetic selection of “I had chips for lunch. LOL” posts. Now these headings have been replaced by a stream of consciousness called “recent stories” which mixes nonsense from two days ago with nonsense from two minutes ago. For no apparent reason, some items have a little blue tag and are titled “top stories”, even though they’re not. On the right there is a stream of fetid garbage masquerading as interesting updates and my list of “friends”, many of whom I have never met.
Facebook has always been awful, and now it is even worse. I really hope there is an alternative soon.
In the meantime, please add me as a friend, LOL.

Yes, Jenny flashes her massive mammaries on a daily basis.

This bit wasn’t true.
