If Facebook were a person, it would have wet dreams about Twitter. It’s like Zach Galafianakis’ character in the Hangover, always trying to be like Brad Cooper. ‘But, Facebook’ I would say, ‘you’re so great on your own. You don’t need to be like anyone else but yourself!’ Facebook does not listen.
What a poser.
First there was the much ranted about, less user friendly FB changes from earlier in the spring where the alterations to more of a microblog news feed made it much more Twitter-esque (I should be drawn and quartered for saying that). Now the latest twitbook update has the use of the @ symbol to tag your friends. Sure it’s a cool idea, but I’m quite the anti-fan of being in the follower market. If you chase the trends all you are is a follower. Do something new and make your own trends. Facebook used to be there until Twitter started getting headlines and that’s when they started being the follower and making changing it’s general format to become more like Twitter. Or that’s how it seemed.
Whatever you think about this perception, followers are lame. Just ask Family Guy.
