Facebook is boring

I have been a member of Facebook for over a month now and have found it to be almost completely useless. I really don't understand what people like about it. My biggest problem with Facebook is that people's lives are boring but for some reason they think their lives are interesting. This leads to an excess of boring posts. There are a number of people whose posts I don't even read anymore because they have absolutely nothing interesting to say.

Here is my advise. If you are posting more than one message a day, you are posting too much. Nobody is that interesting. Similarly, I didn't accept your friend request because I was interested in hearing about your kids. I don't know them and if they are anything like you as a kid, I don't want to know them. All of our kids do the same stupid crap and when my kid does it, its way more interesting than your kid does it. Additionally, if I want a recap of the Red Wings game there are plenty of more reliable sources to get my sports information from and you don't know as much about the Lions as I do, so you're just wasting my time. Also, there is no possible way people are actually laughing out loud at these posts. If they are, this blog must be responsible for many people wetting themselves.

Basically if your news isn't important enough for you to call a friend you haven't talked to in weeks, it isn't worth putting on Facebook (Justin Bieber posts are of course the exception).
