Pointless....

  Hey guys, I'm pretty lazy to type the Episode thingy so you go figure what kind of post I'm writing. Don't worry, still rants and randomness. Nothing changed.

  So sometimes I just wondered why do I have so many friends on Facebook. Don't get me wrong having friends isn't a bad thing but my social life doesn't qualify me to get more than 200 friends, I mean, seriously. Okay, so from your DOB till 18 years old, lets say you meet a new person everyday. You might not be friends with them at first sight or not you might have to do the math for counting the friends you have. The ratio for getting friends at first sight is 1:1000, Try figure the ratio of love at first sight. LOL. Seriously, sometimes it's just weird to see people that you don't know on FB to be on your friends list. It seems bad to just block them cause you were the one who accepted them in the first place. 2, it's like a good thing to show others that you have tonnes of friends in FB though you have none in real life. Pfft, story of the Internet but still no one gets it.

  Speaking of FB friends, it seems that research has proven that Malaysia, which is my country has the highest number of friends in almost every social network available in the country. FB crowns the others with an average of 300 friends per account. Some people here even have 3 accounts cause the maximum friends you can accept is 4000 for FB. Back to the days of Friendster was pretty much the same, but have we ever thought what's the point of all this numbers? Why bother setting a record of being the person with most friends when no one actually cares? You don't even talk to them. Sometimes lots of your friends post has been filtered to the ones you view the most and that's like only 50 of them, so what are the other friends for?

  I don't know about people these days but FB is on full-stalker-mode and people seem to ignore the warnings since FB started. I started on year 2006 and that was because I was into Pet Society. Now all those games are just memories that I couldn't care to remember. It's like colored bars on the TV screen, insignificant. But hey, sometimes I do try to be friends with popular people on the net especially Youtube personals. Thank God they now switch to fan pages for people to "Like" which makes life so much easier. That's out of the topic. What I want to say is, FB is so open that sometimes it's just dangerous to upload almost everything about you on it. Some people are silly enough to put their true address on FB and have you ever thought that within that 1000 over friends you have there, some of them might have ulterior motives? It's like Foursquare which is fully useful for stalkers. All they need to do is just search for your profile name and BAM, they got ya without even asking ASL. Yeah, people say they have privacy settings, but how much can you trust the sites on keeping your info safe? 

  Speaking of privacy settings, some people really go OTT when it comes to this. They have a FB account, they know it's dangerous so they set everything to the maximum level ends up friends of that person on FB is almost same as a person who isn't a friend cause nothing can be seen. Yes, it is dangerous to leak everything, but it is pointless to cover everything. If you were to cover up your every detail, why bother opening an FB (or any social network) account? LOL

  I hope someone who has almost 1000 or more friends on FB think properly, do you know any of them? Do you think friends of friends must be considered as your friend cause you just want to please your friend? Moreover, do you find it proud to know crappy people just to fill up your numbers so that you're ranked the highest number of friends person on FB? Let me just remind you,

Hello, this is just the Internet, get a life out there if you want friends....

  Yeah, might be clearing up my page soon. Will modify my privacy settings too but not OTT. Moderation is a virtue, people. Get it right...
