Facebook? Rubbish? How Dare You!

Facebook

In "Lumps - Pooclub Accounts", Mike said:

“We have a Facebook group but it tends not to be used very much because, well let’s face it, Facebook is a bit rubbish, isn’t it?”

Mike now defends this outlandish claim:

Facebook is an extremely popular and successful social networking site. How can I claim it’s rubbish?

Well, yes, but you should be careful not to confuse popularity and success with quality. After all, The X Factor, EastEnders and Strictly Come Dancing are popular and successful. Need I say more?

But I will. The problem with Facebook is that the people on it are too damned honest. They say things that are real. They go into the minutest detail of their miserable wretched lives, what their favourite bands are, what books they read, what’s the name of their cat. They haven’t got the initiative to make something up, something that might just be interesting. Furthermore, they keep telling each other how much they like them, when in reality they’re just trying to be liked themselves and collect as many ‘friends’ as possible.

This doesn’t happen in pooclub. Pooclubbers fabricate yarns about themselves, make ridiculous and unsupportable claims and expound opinions that they don’t truly hold. They’re not in it to be liked. If anything they go out of their way to court criticism and abuse, and take great delight in being insulted. As a result of this, pooclub has some much better storylines than Facebook.

Clearly, pooclub is not for everybody, and it simply wouldn’t work if we had the same sort of membership as Facebook. But don’t get me wrong, we’re not trying to be selective or elitist. We just think differently, that’s all.

Anyway, I’ve said enough serious stuff here. That’s all you’re getting. Everything else that you read here in pooclub, I can assure you, will be complete unadulterated drivel.

And just be grateful you didn’t get me on Twitter.

Mike
