Facebook

Facebook is a great tool for connecting people. Right now the application on it really helps me kill my time at work and improve my geographic knowledge. I specially impressed by the tagging photo function so you don't need to send invitation to your friends via your photo album link anymore. Also, you don't have to worry about forgetting your camera for an important event, as long as someone has a camera and has a facebook account, you will sure be TAGGED.

But, it is also very difficult to get rid of someone from Facebook, if you tried to get rid of someone. You can't just delete him/her because if the person you want to get rid of know one of your friend in your Facebook, chances are he/she will be tagged someday on a picture and you will see them right in front of your screen. Or the "wall" function, you will see the conversation between the person with your friend. The worst thing about this "wall" function is you will not see the whole conversation, so your mind will start guessing and automatically fill in the blank about the missing part.

In other words, you might not see what you want and what you like one Facebook because of this impressive tagging function on FB.

And the hardest part is giving up this great tool of connecting with all your friends so that you can make sure your day goes well without some shitty person show up on your monitor. The easy to use and always up to date information from your friends all around the globe has proved to be very useful. Like now I know exactly when someone get married because there will be a "status update", "event invitation" plus the pictures.

You can also see where you friends travel and what they eat, that definitely help you plan better for your trip and know who exactly to get advice about a specific destination. We also save a lot of cellphone minutes by dropping short messeages to each other, make it easier to invite someone for a special occasion, chances to impress the person you secretly like has increased, build fun and stronger relationship with your family members and so on....

In conclusion, FB is a fantastic tool and it has more pros than cons. So I guess the only way for you to get rid of someone from FB is to get rid of them from your head. Is a long process to forget someone, it might take your entire life to do so, you can't forget by clicking the "delete" buttons.

Is in your head, the zombie is in your head, you just gotta deal with it.
