Facebook is… the best social networking service available, I think. It’s fun (and wastes a lot of time), especially for those of us vain enough to think (hope) that others will notice what we’ve put in our status updates and find it clever.
Recent developments in facebook’s security problems aside, I encountered something in the newsfeed today that bothered me.
When two facebook users who were previously in a relationship split up – unless they’ve modified their settings to prevent it — the shift shows up as a news item for all of their friends to see. Seems to make a significant life change into something pitifully trite.
