It's the "Aaargh! Facebook!" Post

I really don't know whether I should just totally delete my account -

and spit vehemontly every time someone says the word, or -

continue using it as an incredibly useful communication tool; everyone I know is on it, therefore, it's remarkably universal.

I joined facebook "back in the good old days", and back then, it was a fairly simple business. It's great that it's become such a phenomena - but with the increased pressure from the media, marketing groups, affiliate programs, yadiyada.. I'm inclined to say I'm losing faith - slowly but surely.

Currently I'm trying to teach the damn advertising bar that I don't like Hot Dates! or Twatty Mobile Phones! whereas Joni Mitchell tee-shirts and cheap flights to weird places are actually okay in my book, and I'm happy for them to appear in my space. It doesn't seem willing to co-operate.

And that should be the whole point behind social marketing. There are things I'm interested in, for god's sake - just take the hint!

Look Facebook - this is all like.. "Hmm! Super interesting!"

Whereas this is all like "Fuck off Facebook!"
I'm off to hear Paul Cusick's debut CD. Sorry girls..
