5 sickening habits of mainstream websites

Aug 30 2009 Published by under Jokes

1. Breaking stories in many different pages to increase the number of impressions

breakingpagesdown

Have you ever seen those “Top 25 Web Celebrities” or “Top 20 Richest People in the World” lists on Forbes? The number of items on the list is the number of pages that they use to display the information…. Slide shows they call it. I call it “trying to get as many page views as possible from each visitor to make more advertising money, because we are some greedy folks!”

And this practice is not limited to lists. If you take a look on Wired or PC World, you will notice that even 500 word stories get broken down into two or more pages!

12 most annoying types of Facebookers

Aug 22 2009 Published by under Jokes

I did not come up with this post, but i do enjoice this very much. And I’m sure you will, too.

The Let-Me-Tell-You-Every-Detail-of-My-Day Bore. “I’m waking up.” “I had Wheaties for breakfast.” “I’m bored at work.” “I’m stuck in traffic.” You’re kidding! How fascinating! No moment is too mundane for some people to broadcast unsolicited to the world. Just because you have 432 Facebook friends doesn’t mean we all want to know when you’re waiting for the bus.

The Self-Promoter. OK, so we’ve probably all posted at least once about some achievement. And sure, maybe your friends really do want to read the fascinating article you wrote about beet farming. But when almost EVERY update is a link to your blog, your poetry reading, your 10k results or your art show, you sound like a bragger or a self-centered careerist.

The Friend-Padder. The average Facebook user has 120 friends on the site. Schmoozers and social butterflies — you know, the ones who make lifelong pals on the subway — might reasonably have 300 or 400. But 1,000 “friends?” Unless you’re George Clooney or just won the lottery, no one has that many. That’s just showing off.

Four Facebook features I wish existed but don’t

Jul 28 2009 Published by under Jokes

Facebook is a powerful website for social networking (which is another term for “waste a lot of time.”) But even with its numerous features and applications (which is another term for “viruses”), there is a lot of room for improvement. Having been a user of Facebook for many years, I’ve come up with a list of four features that I’d like to see added.

1. Block Fucking Stupid Applications: When Facebook began introducing applications it was both wonderful and frustrating. Let’s face it: we’ve all been bitten by zombies on Facebook at least once as well as seen some of our friend’s Facebook pages literally littered with trashy applications. Word to the wise: we don’t care which Disney character we are anymore. That’s sooo LiveJournal. The “Block Fucking Stupid Applications” feature would do just that, automatically block all fucking stupid Facebook applications.

2. HateThe ability to Hate status updates: When people post status updates you have the option to “Like” them. But sometimes I don’t like them. Sometimes I hate them. And I want the power to tell everyone that I hate them.
