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

[live]

"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?"

I'd love to hear your thoughts Nancy, on if you think a cultural  
etiquette with minute variations and colloquialisms is being slowly  
formed, and if so, is that necessarily good - and how that affects a  
global social intercourse.
