For the last months I rejected over and over again invitations to Facebook. The reason is that I think that it's just a big waste of time. I finally surrender when I figured out that I'm missing many things that happens on the virtual world. For example, my friend published pictures of my daughter and everyone seen it except... me. Everyone talked about how cute she is in those pics, people who I don't know say hello to her with a smile and I don't know who they are and how they know Renana...
After joining the social network I've seen for myself the huge waste of time. Instead of making this network a platform for distant people to connect to each other, I see that everybody is busy with adding many stupid applications to their profile pages, annoying each other with nonsense (I'm saving an alien, raising a pet, you name it) and playing endless quizzes.
I decided that after filling my profile with minimal amount of apps I will calm down and use Facebook to do what it's meant to do - connect with my friends. Friends - Stay in touch !
