Is it just me or is Facebook everywhere you look? In a 24 hour period I would guess that the word "Facebook" is used in the vocabulary of the masses at least twice daily. How often do you hear people say, "Oh yeah I saw that on Facebook." Or, "Ugh, you better not post that picture on Facebook." You know what though, it's not just the general public that is making Facebook all the more prevalent in our lives, it's the media.
Nowadays, every commercial you see ends with the line, "and you can add us on Facebook." Hey Tide Detergent, tell me why I want to be your friend on Facebook? Yes, you are very useful at getting out marinara sauce stains on my white t-shirts, but that doesn't mean I want to be your friend. Oreo Cakesters, I do love you, but I do not care if I can dunk you in milk or if I can not. I'll eat you whatever way I please. No need for me to "be a part of the debate on Facebook." Not interested, thanks.
I get it, Facebook sells. But is it really necessary for every single business or corporation to make a Facebook Fan Page? I love Bloomingdales, but I'm pretty sure going to their website is enough to get me shopping. What happened to just going to the actually website of the product you're interested in? Is that old school or am I just out of the loop?
When will the Facebook craze end? I guess no time soon. Everyone and their mothers (literally) are jumping on the bandwagon. Looks like there is no stopping this beast.
