Rant number 167
Today, as I was considering several options for my rant subject, my phoned spake forth with a notification.
Now, a modern phone like mine is hooked into many things, my emails, my facebook and twitter accounts and even my calls and texts!
As such I get a lot of notifications every day (at least around 50,) which made this event highly unremarkable.
Thinking it may amuse me, I clicked onto said notification and found that something had been posted upon my wall by someone I barely ever exchange a word with.
Odd yes? I thought so too.
Curiosity thus aroused, I opened my Facebook account to see what had been posted.
And what prey was I met with? I hear you cry:
Person X(obviously not the real persons name, but it seems a little rude to cite the imbecile directly) challenges you to a rock battle using pop star. Or some such shite.
Now, I have several things to say about a this, none of them good:
A) I don't play games on Facebook. I'm not interested in Facebook style games and have neither the time or the inclination.
B) If I did want to, I would look myself, not wait for someone to ask.
C) I don't respond to game requests and have them blocked (see points A&B.) Somehow however, someone else has signed up for an app that posts on my bloody wall. I think that that is so rude that person X will not be on my list come the morning.
How come these apps can now invade the privacy of those who are merely on these people's contact lists? I don't mind people posting to my wall, but I do not want it to be covered in graffiti, bullshit and game requests.
Read what you sign up for people, and make sure you aren't bothering those around you.
It's called social, not anti-social networking!
Rant over.
