I speak to my mate in New Zeeland via Email. I keep in touch and I'm not forced to know his tedious, mundane, monotonous daily life updates he and so many are fond of sharing. I'm interested to know how his wedding plans are coming along and if he's raised his fare to come home for his stag do. But I couldn't give a **** if the tomatoes have made his bread soggy or that he just got a good deal on Alienware laptop motherboard or whatever.

Facebook attracts a lot of people who think they're more interesting then they actually are and they tend to live on the thing. Spoils it for normal people who don't abuse it. I'd had enough.

I had a cull of dickheads on facebook a while back, went from about 450 down to 80 in one go.

After that for about a month I got friend requests off about 150 of the people I'd just deleted. Few of them PM'd me about it saying stuff like 'there's something wrong with my facebook I think we accidentally deleted each other'... no mate, you're just a **** and I'm sick to death of seeing pictures of your ****ing dinner or reading about how cute your stupid kids are.

It's cheaper than phoning abroad mate no cheaper than emails but it is easier. The ergonomics of the message system mean you can scroll through without having to select different emails, open them up and look through them.

If I want to see a recent picture of my brother's baby I can see them all in one place.

Facebook has had some of the greatest minds and resources adapting it's user interface for years leaving it lightyears ahead of emails. Emails are cracking, great as an equivalent for sending letters or faxes but Facebook brings everything together and makes everything very very easy. It's why the likes of Whatsapp, BBM and iMessage use a similar architecture to Facebook over emails.

Emailing coding was built earlier on in the internets life than facebook and it's never really changed which puts it at a disadvantage.

I get far more spam through email than I do on facebook. I make a point of keeping my friend list fairly up to date. I see some people with hundreds or thousands of friends, that I don't understand as you're going to get a **** load of crap that you couldn't care less about or **** ****e that arseholes post as you say!
