Quick! Update your Facebook status! Someone might actually give a sh*t

Re: Quick! Update your Facebook status! Someone might actually give a

I don't care if someone updates their facebook status often. I'm not forced to respond to it or care. I do hate constantly having application results and invites on my feed. I've started banning people from my feed and at this rate, there won't be anyone left!

Facebook isn't exactly supposed to be meaningful, though. I don't go there for intellectual enrichment.

You can block just the app notifications if you want, rather than the people.

Other than that, I agree completely. I tend to update it every few days - worst case is twice a day if I have some reason to change it. For other people, I haven't really found statuses to be annoying. If they're boring, I forget them as soon as I read them.

Yeah, I just about never use the status feature. Nobody gives a shit what I'm doing and I'm not about to pretend otherwise. Others don't share my mindset and I have my news feed set up accordingly.

Looking at my status updates for the last week (actually, starting on September 3):
Updated it on the 3rd (got a comment), on the fourth (got a like), on the eighth (got a comment), on the ninth (got a comment that led to a conversation), on the tenth (got a like and a comment), and 12 hours ago (didn't get anything).

So much for the theory that nobody cares.

Oh yeah, I started out doing that. Then I noticed that a lot of the application status updates were coming from the same people. When they're repeat offenders, I block them after a bit.

Don't worry, you're not blocked. :D

Facebook dont make any sense to me. I tried it and didnt like it so I deactivated my account. I dont care what other people are doing.

You would so block me. :rommie: I have updated my status four times today. Twice about my huge list of things to do today, once about "Fringe" and the last about Hollywood's complete lack of knowledge about the laws of Physics. Of course it was all meaningless prattle so I guess I deserved to be blocked. Well the updates about my huge to-do list was to keep people from calling me on the phone so it wasn't completely meaningless. It was my nice way of telling everyone to leave me alone so I could get it all done.

Phew, I'm relieved there. :D

Sometimes it updates things and I don't realize it. In those cases, I'll go back and delete them. But I'm sure I've at least annoyed one person with quiz results.

Aww, I'm not really as ruthless as I'm making myself out to be! I'm sure I wouldn't have a problem with your status updates.

Once I had a really bad day and I just put up "Rakhee is not taking phone calls today." :lol:

Yo, I changed my status to be about Fringe when the DVDs came out. :lol: Friend me and send me a message that it's you. The link is in my profile.
 
Re: Quick! Update your Facebook status! Someone might actually give a

some things that get my goat:
one of my cousins updates her status with her daily schedule and a plea for people to send text messages: for example: food, reading, phone, bed, up, church @ 8:30 to do stuff, then churchh. with lil after? text me. :]

everybody that updates in third person
for example: would be singing "Happy Birthday" to her dad and eating cake if she were at home....

song lyrics that prompt an 'Are you okay?' type conversation from supposed close friends
no really I'm fine, I just like that song . . .
 
Re: Quick! Update your Facebook status! Someone might actually give a

^ I used to post in the third person when they had that damn "is" that automatically posted with the update. Now I just do whatever. Sometimes I will forget. Don't hate me though. I really don't mean to do it but habits are hard to break. :rommie:
 
Re: Quick! Update your Facebook status! Someone might actually give a

^ Yeah, I still post in third person because of that a lot.
 
Re: Quick! Update your Facebook status! Someone might actually give a

sidious618 posts in the third person a lot as well but sometimes I don't.

Your cousin's name wouldn't happen to be Christine, would it? I know one person who did that all the time. But, like I said earlier, I just ignored it.

That's a hold-over from how it was before. Back then, it would say [Alidar Jarok is] and you could only add stuff afterwards. I used to make fun of people for switching to first person halfway through (e.g. Alidar Jarok really needs to get a new hat because my old one is ugly). Then I decided it was just a facebook meme and went with the flow by having slit person. Now that it doesn't matter I go back and forth between first and third depending on what my status is).

I don't know about 3rd, but JonathonWally is sure he posts 100% AWESOME!
 
Re: Quick! Update your Facebook status! Someone might actually give a

I just updated my status today for the first time in weeks -- I don't go on Facebook much anyways. I usually don't care what people put as their statuses, although what my 15-year-old cousin does is kind of annoying: she updates regularly, but usually her status is just something vapid about the Jonas Brothers (often, she doesn't write anything else, just "Jonas, Jonas, Jonas"... she's even changed her last name on Facebook to "Jonas"). It's really quite sad.
 
Re: Quick! Update your Facebook status! Someone might actually give a

I usually update my status once a day, sometimes it'll go more often (eg-bitching about the Broncos sucking it up, volleyball matches on campus, things of that sort). People updating many, many times in a day doesn't bother me too much.
 
Re: Quick! Update your Facebook status! Someone might actually give a

Yes, this is why I took a look at Twitter when everyone started going on about it. But that one look was more than enough; pointless status updates is literally all it is.
And you can get them from z-list celebs too! Wow. Sorry but I'm not some OK/Hello/Heat reading celeb stalker, so I couldn't give a toss what they're up to
 
Re: Quick! Update your Facebook status! Someone might actually give a

has taken a crap. Feels much better now.
 
Re: Quick! Update your Facebook status! Someone might actually give a

Facebook has but one function. To mildly amuse when I'm bored as hell, which is more often than not :|. Barely update my status at all. But that's probably due to my Twitter addiction.......it's like a sickness :p
