Interesting FaceBook Observation

Now and then I go on FB to see what old acquaintances I run into. I am always overwhelmed by how much "I'm going to the grocery store now" comments I come across. It seems that some people "over share". To the point that you stop "following" them.
Here is an article that has some observations about this. I think it is possible this also applies to other venues.

A good friend calls it "FakeBook". Mostly posts bragging about how wonderful life is.

I like "faceplant"
I have to admit to having an account to keep track of friends and family all over the globe.
I also have to admit to when I find an old friend I immediately message them to send me an email because I hate to communicate on FB.

FB to me is like having a blog without the hassle of putting together a blog... I can post pictures and jokes and that is about it.
