Facebook Fail?

I only have _____ friends. I waited almost a whole month expecting for the Facebook Gods to smile upon me with random friends from days of yore—FAIL. I changed my status update fairly often as per the FB (aren’t I cool for knowing that acronym?) protocol with no, to very few comments—FAIL. Then it happened…the inevitable that had delayed me joining FB to begin with; my privacy was breached! The calm before the storm arrived in an email. It so innocently read, “You have been tagged”. I can’t express to you how my heart raced. I began scouring all my friends photos, hunting for this culprit. My results were more than I could bear. I found not only one person invading my protocol but two. 
My next plan of action was to completely privatize my profile. It turns out the only option is to control YOUR pictures on YOUR page, not others. Of course these “friends” received a message from me. It was very difficult to control my “DUH” response when advising them that my permission should be sought before pictures of ME were to be publicized.  I have yet to get a response from them.
Facebook opened: November 28, 2010

PS, to throw salt on my already damaged soul, turns out you can’t actually delete FB, merely deactivate it. Evil, evil, evil incarnate…I’m just sayin’

  1. I know we already talked about this, but I wanted to comment anyway. I am sorry to see you go, and hope you'll be back again someday.
