- I see the appeal - Defining yourself in a Facebook profile is a different type of self-focus (narcissism) than an uncaptioned photo of your face to Tumblr - There is more information than I want - It’s fun to look at new pictures of people you haven’t seen in a while - I feel guilty deleting friends - Everyone seems so normal; this is not the place to live a fantasy. Facebook = who I am, MySpace = who I want to be - How do I decide if I am friends with someone, or not? - Is this person I knew in the 1990s attractive in 2008? - Lots of people have a picture of Obama’s face instead of their own - One person in two pictures can look like two people - Does she know her smile isn’t fooling anyone? - Old friends’ lives go on without me - Wondering how much you can tell about a person by looking at their face - This site really is about FACES - Politically, almost everyone I see is some version of “liberal”. Maybe 10% are libertarian. - Looking around Facebook is a good “brain-off” activity, sort of like a hobby
