10 Reasons to Hate Facebook

1. The friend who shares every bodily ailment. "Sure am hoping these boils don't ooze everywhere!" Gross. Just gross.

2. The friend who shares their schedule every morning. "Shower, breakfast, work, dinner, TV, bed." And then posts the same thing the next day. And the next.

3. The people you don't want to be friends with. It's kind of weird when your ex boyfriend's mom wants to "be your friend" Not to mention your ex-boyfriend.

4. People who harass you. "Why haven't you accepted my friend request?" "Why didn't you respond to my status?" "Why aren't you a fan of my hairdresser?"

5. Overly enthusiastic new moms. "Jonny peed in the potty today!" "Katelyn just threw up all over her bed!" We're sure it's a big deal in your world, but I really don't care. Sorry.

6. The constant deluge of invitations to causes, fan pages and events. No, I am not interested in attending a Tupperware party, or becoming a fan of Goat Cheese, or supporting people with Adult Acne.

7. Obscure posters. "Whatever." "Hmmm." "blah." with no additional explanation. Really? You took the time to log on, and update your status and that's all you had?

8. Apps and Game Notifications. "Jennifer just found a lonely cow! Will you adopt it?" "Lauren's heart is beating at 5 beats per second" Our lives are all enriched by your game playing. Really.

9. 300 Emails in your Inbox. "Eric wrote on your wall" "Cheryl sent you a message" "You commented on Madelin's status." "Bob also commented on Madelin's status"

10. TMI. We really don't want to know. Period. We don't want to know about your fights with your significant other. We don't want to know that you found another wart in the shower. We certainly don't want to know how good you think you are in the sack!

What do YOU hate about Facebook?

10 Reasons to Love Facebook

1. It reminds you of your friends' birthdays. One less thing to cram in my brain! (And more room for Lost trivia)


2. You can keep up on everyone's news without meeting a million people for coffee every week.


3. Endless source of entertainment from people's statuses, pictures and misspellings.


4. Reconnecting with an old friend you lost track of, but really liked way back when.


5. Staying up to date on everyone's life changing news. June got married! Lydia had her baby! Jake is engaged!


6. Such an easy way to spread the word. We bought a new house! Lover's home from traveling! We're having a baby! (Not.)


7. Built in chat. No more annoying MSN Messenger or AOL with ads and spammy people trying to add you.


8. Shared videos and articles. Stuff you'd never come across normally, but really make your day when your friend posts them.


9. Let's be honest, the ego boost. I have 135 friends! Four people like my status! I have more neighbors than my friend in Farmville!


10. All consuming games. Exactly how many hours have I spent playing Farmville anyways?

Why do YOU like Facebook? Or don't you? Still trying to decide if you want to try it out yourself?
