#2Yet another article that complains about Facebook or something on Facebook ... that has a button on bottom to post the article on Facebook.

#3I was hoping for a discussion of the security implications of sharing 25 bits of personal information online with hundreds of people, but there was nothing about that. It's basically a rant against the little things that she doesn't want to know about her friends.

#4Actually this is an interesting exercise. Maybe one should not share it with the rest of world, but for oneself I can see how it could help.

#5"This recent bout of viral narcissism has sent roughly 800,000 hours of worktime productivity down the drain...But it's just so stupid...I can't believe I'm saying this, but I've finally found something more stupid than Twitter."
I think the only thing worse than sharing mundane details about yourself for the world to see is to be the TIME writer that has sunk so low as to whine about it in a front-page article (yes, it made it to the time.com home page). Really? This counts as journalism these days?

#6How rude of someone to have _forced_ the author of this article to read Facebook notes that he hates... ...

#7Cussing about the internet: not only for blogs now... Also, I think he failed to see some humorous references in many of those posts.
Oh well, that's how people are I guess.

#8I took a bit of a more unorthodox approach when I got tagged. I figure it's better to make notes worth reading: http://unalone.tumblr.com/post/75897218/continuing-my-facebo...
Most people aren't funny, they aren't insightful, and they share way too much. Facebook is a loose social network; a "friend" on Facebook might translate to someone you'd barely recognize in real life.
This is a problem inherent with any group. In real life if you paid this much attention to all of 600 people you'd have the exact same problem. It reminds me of the Internet stalker problems that people've started to be warned against. You need to treat the Internet like you would anything else - and offline, you'd never have a party with hundreds of people and pay attention to all of them. If you want Facebook to get better, limit yourself.
If your friends bore you, get better friends. I've only seen a few of these, but the ones I've read were actually really fascinating to read. Writer friends are the best.
When did magazines get this awful? I commented this on the Newsweek article yesterday, too. Weren't these both good magazines two years ago? Why've they turned so pulpy?

#9Has every sentence on Time site have a suggested link????
Some arent even related to the article. What annoyance!.

#10Sadly, I gave in and did mine last night. Can somebody make a facebook app already that quizzes you about which random facts belong to which of your friends?
