Hate on facebook

Unless I have some relatively significant reason to call or email them, it's just not gonna happen, and vice versa. But facebook makes it easy to see what they've been doing with their lives (mostly via photos), and they can see what I've been doing. So it's nice to sort of keep tabs on them until I have a reason and/or time to call and really catch up with that person. Also, I don't even add people unless I actually consider them a friend. Person I sort of knew in high school/middle school/whatever? Not getting added.

I think it's mostly people with too much time on their hands who do stupid **** like treat it like twitter or who play crap like farmville. Anyone who starts that gets immediately unfriended.
