If you know me long enough, you will understand that I tend to give my truthful, sincere opinion on pretty much about anything. If New York is filthy and have a broken down train system, I will say so. It seem that some people are shy to say they had a crappy vacation because they do not want to give you an impression that they wasted money, but for me, I’ve always have the knack to tell you how it is… even though sometimes it may seem hard to swallow.
Before I go on and write about social media, I do not want to give you the “I-am-better-than-all-this-social-media-nonsense-because-I-have-a-life-all-of-you-are-online-losers” impression.
Honestly, I am not really social media kind of person. When Friendster was hot, I signed up because all my friends were using it and I had to check it out. I wasn’t active on it and I only added like what.. 6 friends? The thing about Friendster I like was that I could rummage through other people’s photos. Hehe.
And the ONLY reason why I opened a Facebook and Twitter account is because of Happeepill fans. At first I thought giving out my email addy was enough for Happeepill visitors to contact me but I was very surprised on how active you guys are on these social networks… ESPECIALLY Facebook. I can still remember posting my 1st post on the Happeepill FB wall and within SECONDS I got a “like” and it was 3 IN THE MORNING!
To me, Facebook is social media done right. Even though I love design, I am glad they did not give users the option to “decorate” their profile background page. I have seen background designs on Myspace that could make eyes bleed. Another thing I was impressed with Facebook is that fact that you cannot sign up with a fake name. I entered Evil Bunny and the system totally rejected my form. So that means, if you have a Friendster account that says “SuperStarCutie69”.. its not gonna work on FB you see. FYI, you can only add your nick name later.
With that tweak alone, I heard FB users claim that they found their long lost, primary school/childhood friend, neighbor, separated at birth sibling etc. All this is because everybody was using their real names. 
Apart from that, I find FB awfully boring. And worse, since I am now 33, my wall is filled with images of babies. I don’t mind kids but albums after albums of toddlers can be annoying. 
I think if FB were to exist earlier during my Art school days, at least it will be filled with pics of friends and Art-works in progress.
Twitter on the other hand took a long while for me to get accustomed to. It was like reading a feed of random remarks. I like the ones that are funny but most are just mundane stuff like “I am doing my laundry.” I was skeptical to who would read this sh!t? But once I post a couple of tweets, I realize it wasn’t half bad. Twitter is also good for stalking cause I can actually see what some of my fans are doing 2 mins, an hour, 8 hours ago. Some even tweet their location. It’s like sending an SMS but instead of 1 recipient receiving and reading your message, the whole bloody planet can read it too… or maybe just your 12 followers.
Anyway, I’ll try my best to update my FB status and tweet often… even though half of the time, I don’t know what to post. -__- If you guys migrate to another social media platform, God willing, I’ll be there too. 
I stalk you, you stalk me,
Evil Bunny
PS: Facebook is going to introduce a new feature called “Timelines”. And your profile is gonna look like this. Is it just me of does it look like Myspace/Friendster all over again?
