Facebook Anonymous

How to even describe what this means? The allure of lifecasting, or the tendency toward being divulgey (©Emily Gould), or that thing about just not knowing what the Internet actually is, seems to have found its ultimate expression. Ladies and gentlemen, we give you the 3,283 members of the Facebook group "Narcotics Anonymous." Also the 95 members of the Facebook group "Narcotics Anonymous on Facebook." So someone needs to start like an Internet tutorial class for the entire world, or start it over or something. Although! It'll all be done over soon when the machines rise and John Connor goes to war with the Facebook bots.

I'll know it's really all over and start packing up for the afterlife ("Don't forget the good china, honey!") when there's a Facebook group for people who refuse to join Facebook.

I just feel a little strange that someone is keeping saying some celebrities and rich men joined the famous affairs site ★★★ww w.S u g a r d a d d y C o n n e c t. c o m★★★.. Did you notice that? absolutely a rumor!

One of my students in intro to journalism writing asked if he could cover an AA meeting for the first assignment.
