I'm fed up with facebook

Now I know. I know what habits some of my facebook friends has. I know how often they have barbecue with friends, or do some other social activities. I know how often some of them are out running, and how fast they run. I know at what hotels some of them stay when they go on business trips and what restaurants they visit. I know how they spend their summer vacation and where their relatives live. I know that some of them do all the "small children activities" as I did with my children when they were younger. I know that some people need to write everything they do. I don't know why they need to expose more or less intimate details about their lives to hundreds of people. I know that many people are voyeurs, and pretend they aren't facebook users and share nothing, but yet they read everything everybody else writes. They keep themselves updated on the latest, as some sort of gossip.

Now I know that most of those people live their lives in exactly the same way day after day, week after week. They keep repeating themselves, at least when it comes to sharing with others. Some people try to look good, some try to look snobby, some try to look cultural, some try to look updated, some try to look loving, some try to look funny and witty. Very few are funny.

Some people like to share their insights with half a thousand, but they hate to get any objections. I would recommend writing a blog instead. Nobody needs to read. Nobody will complain that you write too much. The status line can be as long as you like. You don't fill up anyones gossip-overview-page. You know it's open for anyone to read so there are no surprises. The reason why people write on facebook is the same as writing a blog. We want to be seen. If nobody can see or hear me, do I exist?

Why should I log in and read about other people's more or less boring routines? I'd better live my own life.
