Is Facebook Really This Important?
Facebook really does seem to be getting more media coverage than any social networking site really deserves. Is it really newsworthy that Facebook is to remove the mandatory “is” from status updates?
No, it isn’t. It’s not news at all except for the minority of people who use Facebook and really care about having to think up a status that grammatically follows “[Name] is” or just settling on an ungrammatical status instead.
Really, who cares? It might make users go “oh, that’s good” but then they would get on with their lives. To whom is it really a big issue? So why has it got such a large article - or any at all?
On the Telegraph website, right now this story is just below one titled “Father and son, 5, drown in Spain” and just above an article on former attorney general Lord Goldsmith saying that he would have quit if parliament had ratified to government’s preferred pre-charge detention limit of 90 days.
Really, why?
