Dramabomb Watch: Review Your Facebook Friends Via reviewmyfriends.com

Review My Friends 

Here’s a new website that I’m sure will facilitate talking shit behind your supposed friends’ backs.

Anonymously praise or critique your Facebook friends and see what others think about you. Don’t worry, no one will know you wrote it!

You can easily Connect to RMF via Facebook. And then talk nice things. Or talk shit. The choice is yours.

http://reviewmyfriends.com/ – My friends made RMF, so I might be a little biased, but I think it’s a good idea.

This is not a sponsored post. I’m just promoting them for free because I like them. So um, this is a reviewmyfriends.com review I guess. 5/5 stars. Would gossip on daily.

I also advised them to have a good lawyer on tap in case a 14-year-old Canadian girl kills herself from bullying.

“Aggressive Following” and my Dissatisfaction with Twitter

August 7, 2013 4 comments

I tried to start a new media account for viral promotion purposes. On Twitter. Because I thought that’s what the Twitter was for.

I believe, as a semi-professional blogger, that I know how NOT to spam and I also believe that I know how interact with new people online in meaningful and interesting ways. I followed 160 accounts over the course of 2 days. I was suspended almost immediately even though I had 34 posts, most of them being interactions with those people I followed.

To avoid any potential backlash (making me paranoid, Twitter and reddit, with all this banning) I have blurred the username:

Holy shit, does this piss me off.

It was just an annoyance until I tried to go through the whole unsuspension proess and it turns out the Captcha thing isn’t even working properly. [You actually need a space between the two words, a detail they should specify. I  actually tried the space the first but I got a straight up Fail Whale technical error the first time.]

I’m glad Automattic and WordPress have never given me any problems. ❤ flexible and reasonable websites.

Share if you feel the same way or have had the same problem with being unfairly suspended from somewhere. Buttons on the bottom. Share my rage; it can be our Twitter rage together.

Preemptively Hating the New Facebook “Timeline”

September 24, 2011 1 comment

Facebook released a video with a preview of the new “timeline” profiles to be released… they keep changing the date.  They last said Wednesday for beta, but other sources have been pushing the date back.

The tag says “Tell your life story with a new kind of profile.”

But I don’t want to tell my life story with a new of profile.  Because my life has largely been boring if you don’t count the drugs.  Most people are insanely boring.  When everyone you kinda talked to at a party that one time and was kinda interesting has their own page of individuality and stream-of-conscious thoughts, you stop paying attention to everyone.

Apparently, the trending thing in social media is “timelines.” Twitter has a “timeline.”  You know how often I look at Twitter?  Once a day.  And I manually click on the comedians I like  to see if they have funny one-liners and that’s it.  If I leave the window open for 5 minutes, 2o people will post 100 tweets I don’t give a shit about.  Sorry @BarackObama.

I associate the word “timeline” with crappy 7th grade history class projects where the hippie teacher was too lazy to actually grade people on what they learned so they graded you on who could print the best pictures from the Internet and glue it to a date on a posterboard.  Nobody care about what happened to you in 1993 unless you invented the cure for cancer or did something hilarious that they can use it now to embarrass you.

Because too much shit has happened in history at every moment in time.  Literally, there are 7 Billion on this planet and each one has shit more than once.  And then they have babies and pets and they shit.  How many trillion shits is that over time?

If you want me to pay attention to you, make a blog, say funny things, and I’ll bookmark you and read you when I want to.

People on SodaHead hate the changes that were already made. Infographic in the link.
