Facebook.com is the new Crack Cocaine

Posted on Sunday 22 April 2007

Firstly: Nerd warning.  This is not about drugs - it’s about technology.  Social Networking is a current Internets buzzword that describes tools on the intertubes that connect people together and permit communication with a broad audience.

It’s true I tell you.  This stuff is the internet equivalent of Crack.  (World of Warcraft is more like Meth - it’s cheaper - but it hooks you way worse…)

I had a staff member (Serena… get back to work) who mentioned Facebook in passing to me. Then another coworker brought it to my attention to show me a picture in a COMPLETELY unrelated conversation.

Yes - it’s a plague, or a Curse… or Digital Meth.

Sweeping the planet - social networking is the digital representation of our analog lives. Sure we all have friends. Some we see daily - some we dont. Some we’d like to see more - and some we’d like to see less. Facebook (in a word) fucks it all up. Everyone you are connected to is right there - in your face.

Oh yes children…. it’s freaky. It’s “MySpace” without the crap, blinking graphics and shit audio streams. Look out MySpace - Facebook is gonna Curb-stomp you.
