Is facebook a has-been?

I won’t forget when I first got facebook. Summer 2006, someone’s home office in Kawasaki, Japan, and two friends made it for me after insisting that I get one. I deleted my myspace account within a month.

Facebook wasn’t the same back then. It wasn’t flashy. There were no games, no status updates, no news feeds. Just friends and photos. And that was all I needed.

Now, facebook is a stalker’s paradise. And since when does facebook feel that it needs to interfere with my social life, suggesting friends, etc., rather than simply providing a forum where I can expand my social contacts?

Oh divine Internet, please send something new to save me from facebook madness. I’m ready to trade my PS3 in for an N64.
