Facebook will not let you doing anything without Facebook | TG Daily

I love this opening:
"The Internet's mega-church for self-worshipers is adding restaurant reservation service OpenTable and TV listings to its mobile services. No one knows what this means in the big scheme of things, but it feels ever so world controlling so, we have to tell you about it because, you are likely to miss it if you use Facebook yourself. "

After seeing all the rants about drivers, cutting in line and other self centered behavior, maybe description is right. Everyone seems to be pandering to it.

Never felt the need to get a Facebook page .
I deleted mine a long time ago. First of all, its interface and functions were clunky, unintuitive, and not user friendly--so I, as a programmer, didn't give it a thumbs up. But, more importantly, once I found out about their egregious, covert methods of capitalizing on their users' data, I was out of there. Never looked back--and never missed it. :D

Facebook: Tomorrow's AOL. :rofl:
 
I was referring to the Mega church of self worshipers. There are some who use FB since that's were some small businesses put their help or information files. Or Grandma who just wants to see the grandkids' pics.

A self worshiper causes trouble elsewhere with the me first attitude. Most on this forum get annoyed with that attitude. Ego is the cause of a lot of traffic accidents, but it gets blamed on "distracted driving" or DUI. We seem to have plenty of people that weave in and out of traffic 30mph over the speed limit, just to get somewhere first.

I love it when the jerks that fly through a parking lot to get a space close to the door get denied that space by someone else who just pulled in the parking lot as the parked car was leaving.
I've seen them throw temper tantrums!

Had one idiot at Xmas time in a post office yelling and complaining about the line. He was a "senior citizen" and shouldn't have to wait. TFB.
 
I can already do these things without FB. FB doesn't allow me to do these things any faster. For TV Listings, I can already access it with a single tap of the bookmark on my home screen. FB isn't going to be able to provide me TV listings just as fast because I would need one tap just to launch FB.
