Facebook, for me, is a mildly amusing diversion. I have only 39 Facebook “friends,” and I follow only about a third of them. The rest are obligatory friends whose doings don’t interest me.
I strive to make Facebook as unintrusive as possible. To that end, I have long used the F.B. Purity extension for Firefox, which eliminates a lot of clutter and unwanted features. I also use Adblock Plus, though Facebook has found a way to work around it and plops an ad or two in my newsfeed every day.
I’ve just learned that Facebook categorizes the politics of its users. I was amused to find that I’m a Liberal. I guess it’s because of the postings of some of my friends — postings that I usually hide to avoid irritation. It’s easy to delete the political preference setting, so I did.
And I’ve just come to understand the meaning of the popular abbreviation for Facebook: FB = For the Birds.

Be glad you have liberal friends and you’re categorized that way, so that when Mark Zuckerberg sells his info to the Thought Police, you’ll be safe. : )

The Googleers already have my number. I’m waiting for the middle-of-the-night knock on the door.
