[Air-L] The 12 most annoying Facebookers By Brandon Griggs, CNN

[Nancy Baym]

I find these lists incredibly annoying. For 
goodness sakes, if you don't like how someone 
behaves on Facebook, Twitter, or any other social 
network site, quit following them! There's no one 
forcing anyone to consume other people's messages.

It strikes me as mildly amusing that we are 
treated to simultaneous discourses about how (a) 
everyone on these sites is narcissistic and (b) 
everyone should behave on these sites in the way 
that most interests ME. Am I the only one who 
notices a bit of a contradiction there?

No offence to Christophe whom I recognize is 
passing this along, not claiming it as his own.
