I might suck at Facebook, just a little bit… Do you?

by GeekMom on June 8, 2010

Hi. My name is Heather, and I’m a Facebook addict.

You know how it is when you first join Facebook, and you go a little bit crazy with everything? It’s fun, it’s novel, and you click “Like” and “Share” and you “Poke” your friends all the time? You know, right? It’s not just me. (That’s what I tell myself…)

So it’s normal for Facebook newbies to go nuts at first, with the games and sharing features. But you know there are a few people who take the craziness to an extreme. They never outgrow those noobish tendencies, and they drive people crazy by flooding the news stream with their stuff.

Facebook famer comic

from theoatmeal.com

That is one way to suck at Facebook. And the folks over at theoatmeal.com have cleverly illustrated several more, in user-friendly, very shareable cartoons here: How to Suck at Facebook. So check them out and be sure you send them to all your friends so they show up in the news stream! ;-) And by the way, I’m not going to stop poking my friends.

I know what you mean I think I will share those cartoons, with some of my ‘gaming’ friends’.

I have unfriended those who do nothing but those freekin games. Is there a way to just block the ‘gaming’ of those, otherwise you like to ‘book’ with?

Have a funfilled weekend, and beyond.

I love Facebook and am definitely one who likes the mindless games. Theoatmeal comics are hilarious, so glad I stopped by your blog today!

@Don: Yes, you can click “Hide” next to the game activity you want to get rid of. It will give you the option of hiding the game or hiding the person from your news feed.

@Christy: Yaaaay! Long time no see, girl! :-) Thanks for visiting again.
