Like it! I'd add someone offering me a beer on Facebook. Because a) If someone buys you a beer they should pay for it and b) I should be able to drink it.
Good point. At least nobody has thrown a sheep at me for a while.
id like to add guy kawasaki to this list.
You're just sore you didn't come up witht he lightsaber thing first.
OK, maybe the 4 pages of #shakespearestarwars was a little excessive.
Motherf***ing Farmville and Mafia Wars just as endemic on Facebook, I'm afraid.
And anyone who's read my book will be aware that whatever I signed when I first hooked up to Facebook now sends a monthly email telling me none of my female friends would want to date me.
@stephenfry Hahaha!
@sarahbeeny I agree!
@aplusk You look awesome on telly!
@oprah Can't wait for the show!
@eddieizzard Poor you!
And the mundane conversations on Twitter between two people you follow...
@person1 how was your day?
@person2 okay, how was yours
@person1 thats nice
Please shoot me.
I think there's a case for making a top 100 (or even top 1,000!) social network annoyances. I'd say the self-obsessed tweeters are the worst, you have to add some value to avoid an unfollow prompt!
