Facebook. You've changed the way we keep in touch with friends, view pictures, stalk people. That's right, stalk people. Click on the profiles of friends of friends of friends until it's 2:30am and we're looking at pictures of a party attended by people we don't know at a school we've never been to. And then when we actually meet one of the people whose profile was one of the hundreds we've clicked on. We smile, say hello and act like we've never met the person before, and all the while in our heads we can name their school, what their favorite movies are, and where they went for their past 3 vacations. Don't pretend like any of us don't do it. Everyone does and it's addicting. And the last thing any of us need is stalking assistance, but you seem to think otherwise. Are you kidding Facebook? Why would you help? Your new "People you may know" feature is like putting a big bottle whiskey at an AA meeting. You put finding out which one of our friend's friends we may know, but for some reason or another aren't friends with, on a big silver platter. First you charge for sending gifts, which are nothing more than graphics, and now this. I feel like a dog, and you are Michael Vick holding a raw steak. We don't want to look, because we know that if we do we'll get abused. But we do it anyways. And you might argue Facebook that we don't have to visit your website. But we both know that is also not true. No one wants to be the fat kid when picking dodge ball teams. So the next time you want to give a handful of chips and a deck of cards to a gambling addict, at least give a warning.
