How do I do it?


Well.  This blog will really be nothing without the help of you, the viewers. Sure I have a few stories of Facebook Snubbery, but not enough to warrant a whole blog.  I really want to hear from you.

Welcome.

I'M 12 AND WHAT IS THIS?: (The short version)
The other day a friend of mine, who knows my annoyance with Facebook, told me that he had found out a long time best friend of his was engaged because he had seen it in a Facebook update.  Not a phone call, or even a text, but a very important and personal event had been conveyed by a blip sent out to the most amount of people in the quickest and easiest way possible.  It took my friend,  though he has known this person for decades, and placed him on the same rank as the guy who changes the toner in the office downstairs.  I'd had similar things happen to me in that I didn't even know things were going on because I'm not on Facebook and it was just assumed that everyone was.  Getting Married, can't make it to such and such, coming to your town...

 "I posted it on Facebook!?  How did you not know?" 

 "Because I'm not on Facebook you ass.  Call me next time."

So it got me thinking... Has this happened to you?  Have you been affected by someone's callous disregard for eons of personal interaction in favor of a Facebook update?  Have you seen people do things there that they never would have done in person?  I want to hear your anecdotal evidence of how society is headed for a very annoying place.
