I love the Facebook idea; to be able to follow your friends activities and whereabouts, without being forced to listen to all the chatter noise surrounding the facts. Call me cynical but I like being able to cut to the chase, without having to listen to stuff I honestly don’t care about. Listen pal; I’m your best friend and if your sister’s cold develops a sneeze-tumor leaving death imminent, I’m there for you, but for the time being please leave the story where it belongs – at her nightstand next to a box of Kleenex. Why this in some desperate cases tuns into one and half hour phone conversations or miles of blogging, I honestly don’t know.

See that’s the strength of Facebook: One-liner updates stating the importing facts!

So why the hell are some people taking advantage of this, by spamming Facebook with utter complete nonsense?! “Taking a shower”…!?… Who cares?! The rule should be that status updates on Facebook aimed at delivering one of two things; broadcasting actual news bulletins concerning your wellbeing, or making people laugh. In addition to that, a filter should be applied on the first intent, to sort out irrelevant bragging proving that you are a major asshole. “Ecstatic that Denmark won the World Cup” would be OK, “Taking my new BMW for a cruise” wouldn’t.

Is it too much to ask that 12 – 15 posts about your day in general, automatically temporarily disables your account?
