A topic from Technology: Web

Yes, this is a rant.

I like the core idea of Facebook. Basically a central place where your can stalk, sorry I meant 'keep up to date' with your friends.

What is now seriously *seriously* pissing me off is that every other website in the world now seems to want to know your facebook details so that they can also tell your friends you've visited them and what you did on the site.

Even hardcore porn sites, that I've stumbled upon innocently of course, now have that little 'recommend on Facebook' option and other sites are being sneaky by sticking the 'Recommend on Facebook' link just above or below a normal link and actually shifting the page so that you accidentally click the 'Recommend' link instead of the real one!

And I really don't want people knowing about my dodgy Youtube cheesy 80s pop habit either - so I don't want to link my Facebook to my Youtube account! Just leave me alone!

But, and this is the problem now, I can't escape - I've got friends spread all over the world and I really do only have contact with some of them through Facebook now.

Argh!

Anyway, rant over.

I don't so much mind the fact that pretty much everything on the web now wants to link to facebook but I do get a bit peeved with people who constantly feel the need to share 200+ Youtube videos with me every single day. I generally use facebook on my phone and find I have pages and pages of videos I don't have the time to watch.. I have several friends that do it and it gets a little old very quick to have to scroll through pages and pages of video's to actually find any content I want to read !

In your friends defence - they probably don't realise they're doing it. I've held off linking my Facebook to my Youtube account because I've got a sneaky suspicion that when you do that, Youtube will just publish automatically to Facebook a link everytime you watch a video on there.
