13 year old approach to not liking a website or service:
1) Get angry.
2) Compose a rant and send it to all your friends.
3) make sure everyone everywhere knows just how much you dislike this website or service. Start an online group, maybe make a slogan. Engage in online and real-life conflicts with supporters of that website or service. Let thinking of clever put-downs for that website or service, and degrading nicknames for its supporters, become the center of your life, and the exclusive basis for your feelings of self-worth.

grown-up approach to not liking a website or service:
1) Don't use it.

Well, the grownup approach to people who don't like movies must be just to not watch them, so I guess Rodger Ebert is just a punk, right?

Furthermore, with something like twitter it's not the site itself that's annoying, it's all the hype about twitter all over the media. Not using twitter won't help you avoid the hype and obnoxiousness.

With Facebook, it's likely to be the only social network that most of your friends are on, so not using the site means not being connected with them. It's not like you can just export your friends list and keep in touch with them on some other site because Facebook prohibits that and in fact runs around suing people who make tools to do it.

If Torx screwdrivers were fast becoming the only means to keep in touch with people and if some people were waving their Torx screwdrivers in your face and jabbing you with them, then yes- I would complain about screwdrivers.

Also, Torx screwdrivers don't tell Camcar LLC about the handedness of the user or the kind of screws you're driving with them.

Half the Livejournals I used to read are just Twitter feeds now.

If you are using an LJ style based on "Expressive" by Ideacodes, this Greasemonkey script will remove all LoudTwitter entries from your LJ friends page. If you use a filtered page, you may have to change the "Included Pages" from "http://*.livejournal.com/friends/*" to "http://*.livejournal.com/friends*".

If you aren't using Expressive, the script can't remove the LoudTwitter posts entirely, but there are instructions for using it to remove the bulleted list, so that's something.

I don't actually use this--because when I posted the above to my own LJ, the twits mostly decided to cut it out.

But anyway I did like this video. I like the live action references to stupid things people do over the internet.

So I guess all the same annoying crap that happens on facebook is that same annoying crap that happens on myspace.

My mom convinced me to start up a facebook account (that I never use and I am going to delete) she said facebook was different from myspace and way cooler and blah blah blah...but every one of those 25 reasons are why I deleted my myspace... so where is the difference. Other than not being able to configure your facebook page to look like a hello kitty factory vomited all over it, it is the same damn thing.

Twitter V.C. Laughs at the Doubters

"Todd Dagres, founder of Spark Capital and one of the venture capitalists that poured an additional $35 million into Twitter recently, apparently finds it amusing when people talk about Twitter’s lack of a business model, according to ReadWriteWeb.

'We think it’s kind of funny,' Mr. Dagres recently told Innovation Economy. 'We know how we’re going to do it, and we’re very confident about how we’re going to do it, and it’s not necessarily in our interest to tell people how we’re going to do it.'

Mr. Dagres, who said that Sparks and Union Square Ventures are the two biggest shareholders in Twitter, told the blog that there is a business model - it just hasn’t been implemented yet. But he did provide one clue.

'All of a sudden there will be some changes that won’t undermine the experience or the vitality — but it will be pretty obvious how we’re going to monetize it,' he said."

Experience and vitality! That's something a prostitute can also provide.

"People who don't use Facebook: how do you share pictures with friends?"

Flickr. Easier than spam-emailing everyone in my address book. Also that way I can dump full-res photos so people stop asking me to print them copies, because any of my friends or family can now download and print their own copies.

If you hate Flickr there's always Picasa Web. Some of my friends use that. Or MobileMe Gallery, which my cousin prefers. But according to your profile page you use Flickr yourself, already, which makes me wonder why you're asking in the first place.

I'm sure that if you looked hard enough there's very little you can do on Facebook that doesn't have a perfectly good non-Facebook alternative. It might not be as simple, or all in one place, but it probably also doesn't require you to make all your friends and family sign up for a service that mines their personal data just to do something as simple as share a photo. You needn't log in to see public Flickr photos, and if they're the kind of photos you don't want to share with the whole world maybe you shouldn't be posting them online in the first place.

I am an old person on Facebook. (If 41 is old, which, yes, it is). Most of my friends on Facebook are close to my age. The only people who I have noticed complaining about various Facebook features are younger people. Maybe old people are better at ignoring things. Or maybe the younger people with whom I am acquainted are whiney bitches. I watched this video, and for almost all 25 items listed I either thought "That doesn't bother me" or "I've never even seen that". "Happy Birthday" posts? That sounds pretty nice. Pillow Fights and the "Compare Your Friends" app? I've never seen them. Duplicate Pictures? People are really annoyed by seeing a picture twice?
