ME & FB

I dare not say that I know how to use facebook. Nor do I say that I understand how to use fb. I have to for once accept that I am technologically challenged. Yes technologically challenged when it comes to fb. Having used orkut for 7 years creating fb account (which I never cherished) was something like a Mars mission; never easy and never understood. The more I tried to understand the more complicated it has become. And I uttered those words. Words which can make any fb fan chastise me: Why is this not like orkut.???

Why is that X gets an update on his profile when I write on Y’s wall. Wasn't my scrap supposed to be between us and not among our’s. Or did I screw up (with my incomplete knowledge of fb). Apparently it turns out that it is the feature of fb. Ahh chastise me or rather enlighten me!!

And what is this fan thing. There is already a network/group thing which is fine. And what is the difference between you liking something and you are the fan of something. Aren't they both same? At least they appear same to me. Or Am I missing something here? Redundancy I say. Whatever, these trivial things make me shun away from fb.

Ok the likes thing with the photos and status message is fine. But the other likes irks me. XYZ likes "Did I Ask You?" "No" "Then Shut Up." ABC likesSHITT ................YAAR .........KAL EXAM HAI............” PQR likes “How come i dint wake up, even if my alarm was set on time? dats strange!!!” And so on and on and on. Gimme a break. I mean how much more silly can it be. It’s downright immature. Kinda your grey cells are on some vacation leaving you behind. Is it suppose to be cool stuff that you ‘likes’ these outlandish, make-no-sense lines? If so then I should say I don’t like these. I would ask fb for a doesn't like or repulsive button.

And finally my proxy status message Girish Vanganuru “Quits”.
