meh... I found everything on facebook incredibly mundane and repetitive, and so I got rid of it a few years ago (some time around late 2009 or early 2010). I also was starting to have some privacy concerns, and I think I was pretty far ahead of the curve on that.

My facebook experience prior to shutting it off though was similar to:

Oh, you had a baby, here's a picture of the kid, now the kid has cake on his face...

Oh this other person had a baby, here's a picture of that kid... she has cake on her face too...

Oh, you want to tell me how I should vote... thanks, I sincerely appreciate your insight! :/

Oh, you're eating a sandwich, cool...

It's Saturday... Go Gators, UCF, Miami, USF, and FSU... bleh

I enjoy talking with people on hubski / reddit significantly more; although reddit has been declining for a while now too... which prompted me to find Hubski :D

Well there's a ... block function ... I don't understand the huge class of people who use facebook regularly, complain about it even more regularly, and don't do anything to customize it. Sure, deleting it is one route, and that's fine, although if I deleted my facebook I think I'd probably lose my job (or at least have to expend tons of effort to keep it).

However, what I found was that if you block the people who post the sandwiches, facebook becomes possibly the product it was supposed to be.

Isn't the product it was supposed to be a way to more easily bang chicks on campus?

I remember when facebook came out, my school was one of the first to be included in the Boston area and yes, at that time that's how people were talking about using it.

I'm not sure, I haven't seen the movie. Drawing from experience in my own life, the answer is probably yes.
