You Deleted Me?!

Oh Em Gee!

You, like, totally deleted me from your Myspace/Facebook/Twitter/Whatever the hell social networking site you're apart of! What did I DO?! I don't care if we don't talk in person or have even met but why, oh WHY did you delete me from your coveted friends list?!

Oh, wait. I don't care.

I'll admit I use a few different "networking" sites to keep track of friends, find music, cure boredom, promote and all that fancy jazz. However, there are a few things I can't tolerate.

1. PC4PC
Now, yeah. We all post pictures of us on these sites because we want to prove that we have a life, we're good looking and we do crap on the weekends. Amiright? But my confidence level isn't going to shoot through the roof because I have a bagillion and one strangers leaving me some random, insincere comments on my pictures. Is there some secret society I'm unaware of where you social ranking completely depends on the amount of comments my default picture has? Criminy, I didn't think I was that out of the loop.

2. Lurkers
You saw me leave a comment on the page of a boy you like. "Oh WHAT? Competition? I must find out who this girl is and why she's talking to the guy I'm Myspace stalking." Listen, my profiles are private for a reason. Don't try to add me for the sole reason of finding out if I'm more awesome than whoever the hell it is you're trying to get at. Because, I am. And I'll figure it out. And you'll be denied.

3. Top Friends
While I do believe Myspace is the only site to have this feature, I'm very certain it is the root of all evil. Top friends essentially correlates to "how much I care about other people more than you". However, I do commend the developers who came up with this ingenious idea. You know why? It causes drama. More drama = more people active on the site. Bam!

I work on a computer all day. I know very well as soon as I'm bored my browser just automatically scoots on over to Myspace, Facebook, etc. With the occasional glance here. But holy hell if you let the interweb control our life to the point that an argument or falling out prompts the mass deletion of every viable internet point of contact you have with someone, then I do believe you've developed a problem. And thank you for deleting me so I can avoid it.
