Every time i open my laptop i must jump on Facebook and check if I've gotten any new notifications, new friend request, event invitations or check if there are any upcoming birthdays that I've missed. It feels like your personal assistant, capable of doing almost anything! But i think I've discovered a new side of Facebook.
FACEBOOK: The Club
First encounter:
You look around other peoples pages, looking at their display pictures and checking them out, and then when you see something you like, you press the *add friend* button and then hope for the best. Either they turn you down and press ignore, or they like what they see and press the accept button.
You're walking around, checking it out, acting cool and and then you see someone that you'd like to talk to and you approach using your opening line, hoping for the best. Yet again, two results, either you rejected, or you're in!
The small talk:
You say hi, ask them how they are, what they like, what are the doing, just the general chit chat.
you've introduced yourself and start talking to them, are they having a good night? blah blah blah
essentially what I'm trying to say is that Facebook is the social event of the internet. You meet people and make small talk through the wall comments, the friendship grows to the point where in most cases msn addresses are exchanged and conversations become more private and frequent.
Whilst writing this (and giving up and then finishing it), another thought strolled into my head. The forms of communications that these electronic devices provide us cause us to hid ourselves behind so many layers of protection. For ease of understanding I've drawn up a flow chart:
