Transcribed from Brian Cooleys "What the hell?" on CNETs Buzz Report:
"I recently started seeing pink unicorns and too many martinis, so I had to quit…. Facebook! I joined the second most talked about social network, after it seemed like most of the grown up, full formed mentally balanced colleagues of mine were also doing so. I saw it as the perfect middle ground between the sewer that is Myspace, and the often dull tool that is linked in. and within hours I was getting networked.
News items about my colleagues trickled into my profile page. John wanted to know if he’s like me. Jane sent me a pink unicorn… huh? Don bought me a ‘martini’ and Jim was flinging poo at Debbie. And of course, they were all playing Scrabulous.
What the hell is this?!
Up until Facebook, these were normal interesting working pros I respected and enjoyed being in contact with. But I thought millions can’t be wrong. Yea they can, look how many bought Chevy Vegas. Now they say, face book connects us as a society. No. It reminds us that many of us never really left college, we just graduated. So I’m off Facebook. If you need to connect with me, buy me a real martini in a real bar, or just ride on over on your pink unicorn."
I'm Back!
