With a title like that, I thought it was going to be a Matt Maroon article.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I normally hate the summaries, but this was excellent. Also, the author seems like he's really not very fun to hang out with. I bet his friends are glad he isn't on Facebook.

You hate summaries? Why?

Because they usually try to capture the essence of an article in 1 sentence, and they usually fail.

Strange. It's as if CNN decided they better get hip and make the site more bloggish, and then they copied the wrong things about blogging.

Guy who (admittedly) doesn't use Facebook hates Facebook. News at 11. We've seen this before in other forms: Guy who (admittedly) doesn't use Twitter hates Twitter. News at 11. Guy who (admittedly) doesn't read blogs hates blogs. News at 11. yawn

I hate when hating popular things becomes vogue. It's one thing to rant about it in an enclosed area, but it's hardly news.

I just think its funny that the "Guy who (admittedly) doesn't use" writes a column about his hate.
