Really guys? its not that serious.


So i just read an article, Viruses that leave people red in the Facebook, and i have to be honest. I think its ridiculous.
Just to give you some brief history, we have all seen those links from Facebook like, "cclick hhere tto wwatch a vvideo of yyourself." and we, being the "way too smart for that" college students that we are. .never click on those ridiculous links. But those crazy 30 and 40 year olds, that are suddenly attacking social networking sites, click on them hoping to see a video of themselves bobbing for apples at the company BBQ. which we know obviously, doesn't happen. and now their Facebook is now sending out similar links. And these people seem to be mortified, by the links there Facebook/Twitter is sending out. And now they're upset because they don't know how people "view" them anymore.
Its ridiculous really, because i wouldn't really care for the fact that my friends would be like, "dude why is Kaitlyn shooting out 250 tweets daily about how if we click the link we can get a $500 gift card to Victoria's Secret." I would be more mad that people had hacked into my account. Its really annoying actually.
I don't think people should really be taking Facebook or Twitter that hardcore serious. On days i have a paper due i write "I'm going to Kill myself" via my Facebook status bar, do you think my Facebook friends truly think i will? i doubt it. I think people should seriously lay off the whole Facebook & Twitter thing. its getting crazy, and all of the older people that are on it are making it really uncomfortable. Most because they turn small situations such as this into overwhelming defamation cases. If you can't stand the heat get out of the Kitchen.
