FACEBOOK ETIQUETTE 3

YELLOW CARD Horoscopes really? Tarot cards? Why do people think that we want to know what their horoscopes or tarot card readings say (as seen in the images from my iPhone)? And who even reads that type of thing anymore let alone share that they read such nonsense on Facebook. I’ve managed to block Farmville and other games from my news feed but now I have to block horoscopes and tarot readings. Why is it my responsibility to take my time and go through and block all these useless Apps from cluttering my homepage? And another thing, you shouldn't be posting so often that your posts are showing up consecutively in my news feed. I got 3 tarot readings in a row from one person and then saw another one of my "friends" post 12 YouTube videos in a row. Annoying. What is the appeal of all these games, applications, etc? Isn't Facebook supposed to be just a form of communication and engagement, not this silliness? Don't clutter Facebook with games and second-life type nonsense, please.

YELLOW CARD And another thing, do we need to know how much you love your husband or sister or cousin or whatever. I'm assuming that if you've changed your relationship status to "married" and linked it to your husband's name and you constantly post pictures of the two of you together and your kids if you have them, that you do in fact love your husband. Do these kind of posts really go viral? Is there some sort of love brigade on Facebook I don't know about? Does your husband read this and think it's cute? Do your friends read it and think it's romantic? What if he is your best friend but is lazy and doesn't work hard? Has Hallmark secretly infiltrated Facebook and forced us to make up these ridiculous holidays? Are they going to start marketing Hallmark posts that you can buy and post to show your true love on Facebook? Hmmm, maybe I'm on to something here....
