Journal #2- Jonathan

Something about facebook that has been really annoying me recently is facebook chat. I used to use aim a lot more than I probably should have, but now I just use facebook chat because it is more convenient. I know that using these instant messaging services it is reducing the amount I actually talk to people in person. But they are so much easier to use and faster than having to make a phone call. I wish I did not use them though because it is way less personal than actually calling someone. In the same way that wishing someone happy birthday on their facebook is nice, but if they received a phone call from each of the people that wished them happy birthday on their facebook wall they would be much happier. I have been trying to stop using facebook chat as much, but facebook is making it easier for me than I expected because facebook chat does not work half the time. And that is what really annoys me about it; if facebook is going to offer the chat service, it should make sure it works all the time. Another thing about facebook that has been upsetting me is the new layout. I really dislike that the events were moved to the bottom of the right hand side. One of the main reasons I use facebook is to find out about events, but where there used to be the events nice and clear, facebook now puts advertisements.
