“you have been poked by Smutty McSmutthole”
Okay.. i got poked. wtf do I do now? Poke back? Eat my ass. Humans built the wheel, the empire state building, Ovaltine. The best you can come up with is “poke”? **** you. Poking is the lowest form of facebook communication and it’s a complete waste of time. If you have something to say to me, say it. If you want to request my friendship on facebook, then do that. But poking me and doing nothing after that is completely pointless. You will get no response from me if you poke me.
“You have received a Youtube invitation from Smutty McSmutthole”
Great, I love Youtube videos….. on YOUTUBE. On Facebook, however, it’s a completely different story as with any sort of invitation that I receive. Facebook has a slew of questions and prerequisites before you even get to the basis of the invitation. So before I get to view the video I have to decide if I can let the Youtube application know who I am and see my information, put an application window on my profile, and various other things. Once I get past this nuisance I’m faced with a screen highlighting all of my facebook friends, threatening to send this same invitation to all of them. Mind you, I’m just trying to view a video. After this it’s the usual array of deadly booby traps. Only the penitent man may pass, leap of faith from the lion’s head, cup of the carpenter. After eluding the last crusader (he’s a slow delirious old bastard anyway) I’m usually lost. Where’s my video? Where’s my SuperWall post? Where’s my FunWall post? Where’s my lemonade stand? Where’s my daddy? Why couldn’t I just be directed to the video on Youtube?
facebook is whack. but it’s also crack.

I’m not trying to be funny here… but I’ve always felt like facebook is the vista of social sites.
Again, I’m not trying to be funny, but you’ve hit the nail on the head with all the warnings. And when you get right down to it, what in the hell are you supposed do on facebook anyway? Answer: poke people. It’s really not too much good for anything else.
Poking people is the easiest thing to do and you get the least warning messages so everybody does it. You’ve got to do something so people might as well poke. Great app. Definitely worth billions of dollars.
I honestly don’t understand how the facebook founders ever got facebook to fly.
My assessment of facebook is that it is a place for college students to post pictures of them and their friends doing stupid, inappropriate, and often illegal things for future employers, parents, and judges to see.
And, a place that legitimizes stalking.
I wish I would have thought of facebook, because I would be rich right now. Still, in the annals of the internet, facebook will be nothing more than a VH1 Special 15 years from now. People who were into facebook will be embarrassed.
sounds like you guys dont get poked enough…
