I am on facebook. It's an efficient communication & networking tool, but I can't stand all of the cutesy devices facebook has engineered to keep users interacting, thereby increasing traffic and page turns. Every day I'm overwhelmed by people sending "a little piece of green," or kidnap requests, or a vampire is biting you or "join my cause." I get about 30 of these a day. It's possible to block all of this stuff, but then you just come off as a too-cool-for-school sourpuss.
I did join the Stevie Nicks is My Fairy Godmother, but all the Stevie/FM groups are essentially The Ledge with training wheels. There's no incentive to check out what's happening with the group or conversation., etc. Most of the posts are "I love Stevie! And so does my m0m! Stand Back rocks! Do you love Stevie as much as ME? I bet you don't!!!!!!!! LOL
