The rise of social media has made it easier than ever to keep in touch with friends, relatives and coworkers. With a few keystrokes you can reconnect with an old high school buddy, learn what your coworker’s favorite band is, or play Scrabble with a friend who lives on the other side of the globe.
But while increased connectivity is an undeniably good thing, you can just as easily use it to annoy the living hell out of everyone you know. This is the internet, after all, and if something on the internet can be used in an annoying way, you can safely assume that 99% of the population will proceed to do so (go try reading a comment on YouTube if you don’t believe me).
People need rules to tell them how to act. Luckily I went to the top of Mount Internet last night, and God handed me down these 10 Commandments of Facebook for all to obey. Follow them or you’ll go to hell.
1. Thou Shalt Not List Every Movie, TV Show, Band and Book You Have Ever Heard Of In Your Profile
“You like The Office? I like The Office!!!”
Do you like Radiohead, A Confederacy of Dunces, and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off? Do you enjoy watching The Office and Family Guy? Of course you do - everyone likes those things. Why make it a point to express your enthusiasm for things that everyone likes?
Maybe you’re cooler than that. Maybe you’re into cool, obscure bands like Fela Kuti and Einstürzende Neubauten. Awesome, dude - you have impeccable taste in shit that nobody has ever heard of. Congratulations.
Everyone knows that a person is only as good as their taste in books, movies, bands and TV shows, but what exactly do you hope to accomplish by posting a 5,000-item laundry list? Are you going to forge deep and meaningful new relationships with people based on a mutual appreciation of Entourage, or sever ties with good friends because they AREN’T into Fela Kuti? If you feel the need to share this information with the world (and I know that you do), keep it as short as possible. Remember: You’re not going to impress anyone. It’s the Internet. Nobody is impressed by ANYTHING on the Internet.
2. Thou Shalt Not “Poke” Indiscriminately
This guy was into “the poke.” He’s dead now (probably).
Maybe I’m missing something here, but as far as I can tell, “poking” people serves absolutely no purpose other than prompting the person on the other side to “poke” you back, sparking off a potentially infinite spiral of pointlessness that makes everyone involved just a little bit dumber than they were when it started. Before you know it you’re installing apps that offer “pro” pokes, “office” pokes, and “sexy” pokes. “Indiscriminately” might not even be the right word here. How about “Thou Shalt Not ‘Poke’ EVER” or “Thou Shalt Not ‘Poke’ Because That Shit Is Completely Retarded And Pointless”?
3. Thou Shalt Not “Friend” People You Don’t Actually Know
This guy is Gladstone’s “friend.”
What does the word “friend” mean to you? It means different things to different people, but most would agree that a “friend” is someone that you actually know. Ideally someone you’ve met in real life. I know that’s not always going to be the case (Gladstone would have exactly ZERO friends on Facebook if he had to follow that rule), but I’m sure we can all agree that if someone is your friend, you should at least KNOW WHO THEY ARE.
If you vaguely remember someone from high school but you don’t remember how you actually knew them, then chances are you guys weren’t very good friends to begin with. Of course, it’s also entirely possible that you guys were total besties and you’re going through some sort of Memento-like amnesia. If so, disregard this commandment, add everyone you possibly can as a friend, and send them all messages that say, “WHO AM I? DEAR GOD, PLEASE TELL ME WHO I AM!”
4. Thou Shalt Not Use A Wall As A Private Messaging Function
The “Wall” is one of Facebook’s most popular features. That being said, there are times when it might be a good idea to move your conversation to a private venue. Here’s a handly little chart to help illustrate when it’s appropriate to communicate on a public Facebook wall, and when it’s INAPPROPRIATE to do so:
Hopefully that clears up some confusion.
5. Thou Shalt Not Join A Billion Groups
While it may very well be true that Dave Coulier shaves his balls, what more is there to say about it?
If you’re a black lesbian with a severe wheat allergy who also happens to be into Philip K. Dick and astrology, then you’re in luck: there are tons of groups on Facebook, and there’s sure to be at least one of them out there that caters to you. But with so many groups available, you have to draw a line in the sand somewhere. You might like chicken noodle soup quite a bit, but do you really need to join the Chicken Noodle Soup Group? Maybe you prefer sponges to forks, but do you really feel so strongly about it that you need to join SPONGES RULE - FORKS DONT!? If you think Gladstone is funny (and yes, I know that’s a big “if”), do you really want to join his group and announce it to the world? Of course not.
There’s nothing wrong with joining a few groups, but don’t go crazy. Oh - and don’t join Gladstone’s. Seriously. It will only encourage him.
6. Thou Shalt Not Use Stupid Apps
With so many fart-related apps to choose from, how do I know which one is right for me?
The other day I got a notification on Facebook letting me know that someone had “bought” me. Then someone else challenged me to a “race” where this crappy little car came up, I hit “Go!,” and a message popped up that said “YOU LOST THE RACE.” Then another notification popped up informing me that someone had “thrown a sheep” at me, asking if I’d like to install some sort of app to “throw a sheep” back at them. Then another notification popped up, but instead of clicking it I closed my laptop, walked down to the nearest highway overpass, and proceeded to get as drunk as a human being possibly can without dying.
There are thousands of apps available on Facebook, and although there are a few worth checking out, about 99.9% of them suck. A reasonably intelligent person should be able to tell the difference. If you can’t figure out which is which, maybe Facebook isn’t the place for you. Perhaps another social networking site would suit you better?
7. Thou Shalt Not Give “Gifts”
Q: What does all this crap have in common?
A: I don’t want any of it. (Except that Chinese paper lantern. That looks nice.)
I know this goes with the whole not-using-stupid-apps thing, but “gifts” are so stupid that they deserve their own commandment.
If you want to give me a “gift” of some kind - like a butterfly, a pink striped thong, or an adorable panda - give it to me in real life.
Yes, you heard me: give me a panda in real life.
I will raise it in my apartment, it will quickly become enormous and unmanageable, and then yes, it will most likely go on a rampage in my building and kill several people before being put down by a team of animal control specialists. Do I want all this senseless carnage? No, but given the choice, I’ll take a building full of dead neighbors over receiving a tiny picture of a pair of socks as a “gift” on Facebook.
Am I being too harsh? Maybe. Just give me that Chinese paper lantern and we’ll call it even.
8. Thou Shalt Not Contact People From Your Distant Past While Intoxicated
If you had a relatively normal childhood, you probably have some nice memories of the people you grew up with. Assuming those people feel the same way about you, Facebook creates a tinderbox-like atmosphere - all it takes is a few booze-soaked swipes at the keyboard to send off an incoherent missive that can easily shatter even the fondest of childhood memories.
It’s nice to let old friends know what you’ve been up to, but mixing Facebook with alcohol can be a potentially deadly combination.
9. Thou Shalt Not Update Thy Status Message If Thine Status Hath Not Changed (Or If You Have Nothing Clever To Say)
Status Update: Still watching the copy machine.
You have a full-time job, Monday through Friday, 9-5. We have a pretty good idea of what you’re doing when you’re at work - sitting at your desk, typing stuff, maybe talking on the phone every once in a while. Your weekdays are pretty predictable; your friends could use your routine to set their watches. You’re at work. We get it.
So here’s a tip: Wait until you either have something clever to say or - godforbid - something happens before you update your status message. A sandwich (good or bad), an observation about the upcoming election, a funny encounter in the hallway - it doesn’t have to be much, but it has to be something. Here’s what I don’t need to know: that you’re still at your desk. I KNOW you’re at your desk. It’s a weekday during normal business hours. If your status hasn’t changed, why do you feel the need to “update” it?
10. Thou Shalt Not Act Like You’re On MySpace
Facebook: Not nearly enough glitter.
Welcome to Facebook - you’re all grown up now and it’s time to start acting like it. What does that mean? It means no more “pimping” out your page, no more “glitter” pictures, and no more crashing peoples’ browsers with tons of annoying embedded junk in your profile. Are you okay with that? Does the idea of a social networking site that is actually USABLE appeal to you? Even if it means you can’t make your page display blinking purple text on an animated rainbow background with Aqua’s “Barbie Girl” playing every time the page loads?
Yes, you can probably add some “pimp” apps or something if you really want to, but to do so you’re missing the point: Facebook and MySpace are completely different beasts. If you think a website with a white background looks “boring,” if you can’t go a day without filling out a survey and posting it as a bulletin, and if you can’t stand the idea of only being friends with actual people on a social networking website (as opposed to inanimate objects, abstract concepts and Tila Tequila), well, then maybe Facebook isn’t the place for you.
Or maybe I’m wrong. Feel free to throw a sheep at me and let me know.

I love these commandments…tonight someone sent me this black rose of death…which if I am right(I have 80 unanswered application requests in my box piled up) means it is someone on my friends list? most of the folks on there with exception of a few,and I mean few…are close friends, family…the others,people I have corresponded with through my art studio online venues…so I was less than impressed to receive it…why send ignorant things to people or stupid things…I haven’t got five hours a day to reject every million or so requests for junk, that comes in…time wasters…and on that note, I’ll quit wasting your own time …but I did enjoy this post! Oh I do use myspace, but as an extension of my online art studio…use the blog and albums as my online rotating art gallery and for what it is worth, only keep folks who are artists of any medium, or who I know well on there…the art is public viewing settings though…so when used properly…myspace can be good for showcasing the arts and networking with other artists. thanks for sharing your humour!

Well done, love this, but I believe you’ve omitted 2 of the most important rules for facebook. Write in plain english!
Dnt need 2 du txt spk on peepls walls - or anywhere for that matter. You spelling/grammer doesn’t need to be wonderful, but try at least.
If you feel like setting up a quiz that potentially millions of people could see or take part in, please please please check your spelling and grammer - it’s important - just read it through before you post it.
No I’m not a frustrated teacher, I just care.

April 10th, 2009 at 5:08 pm
PERFECT! This couldn’t be more true!!
I would love to set up an app that auto replies a gift of “SHARDS OF GLASS” to anyone who sends me a gift or includes me in an app.
Note to all: I don’t need snowballs thrown at me, I don’t care if you want to send me a patch of earth, leprechauns, drinks, hugs, or warm and toasty fuzzies. IT’S DUMB!
I think we need to add an 11th commandment called, “Thou Shall NOT Change You Status Every 5 Minutes”. It really says, “I have no life and I’m saying it now.” I can’t believe that people actually think that they are that significant to where they think everyone is dieing to know what they are doing. GET OVER YOURSELF! WE DON’T CARE!
Other things to think about:
1. I don’t care about how much you love your kids. Tell them instead of spending all day on Facebook. And go BE with them!
2. If you two really are ’so happy’, then why does your spouse’s account show him as single and your not in even one of his pics? (ps… he keeps sending me private messages)
3. DON’T use the Status section to pump your business.
4. DON’T complain about privacy when you are posting wall-wall.
5. DON’T upload your iPhone pics ever 5 minutes. They’re dumb! I don’t care about what neat-o flower you just saw!
6. Best way to make it so people DON’T see your posts… POST EVERYTHING EVERY 5 MINUTES. That’s a sure way to have us all “Hide” you.
7. Don’t keep putting pics of your kids up. One is fine… skip the rest. It just puts a lot of pressure on us all to lie. “Ohhh… he’s sooo cute! Looks JUST like you!” I can’t afford for my nose to grow, don’t make me lie! NOTE TO ALL: The clothes may be different but it’s THE SAME DAMN KID OVER AND OVER. He doesn’t get any cuter or uglier with different shoes on!
8. In your status, We DON’T CARE if you “Love Everybody” or are having a Baby Jesus Saves kind of day. IT’S DUMB!
I’m done. I feel better now. GREAT list Ross… someone had to say it!
April 9th, 2009 at 2:49 pm
I agree with all of these. But can I at least give the free gifts?

Thanks for the tips!. i am new to this and I have been wondering just what some of the protocol was . This is a big help. Thank you.
March 3rd, 2009 at 6:26 pm
I take all of it back. Forgive me my Russian friends. Every nation is full of fascists who have to have rules for everything.
March 3rd, 2009 at 6:24 pm
I take that back. It’s specific to Russian expats. Many lovely Russians still in the motherland.
I agree with many of the other comments — this is facebook, the internet, I don’t need your rules. I only “friend” people who are my friends in real life and its my page and I can do what I want. Who are you??
March 3rd, 2009 at 6:19 pm

I’d consider getting a facebook page, if they stopped tracking every page I go to, on every computer I log on to facebook with! Some of that is work-related, and sensitive, I don’t need them looking at that…and then there’s the personal pages, they REALLY don’t need to see…
\yes, I’m a guy, and guys are sick
\\Deal with it!
February 27th, 2009 at 9:24 am
Exactamundo!!! These 10 commandments are solid! Here are a couple of amendments.
1) Uploading every picture ever taken on your digital camera, mundane or just completely inappropriate. Seriously, who’s going to look through a 100 pages of pics of you at the club or showing us how drunk you really get?
2) Keeping in the spirit of pics, do not tag unless given permission. I really like this feature but sometimes there are pictures that I do not want just floating in my album book or not seen by anyone for that matter. We cannot control what people upload, but please do not tag my name unless I say so. Maybe there should be an app which asks if you want to be tag in a photo(s). This will save huge time un-tagging yourself in these undesirable pics.

The only thing I’ll take is drinks cuz whatever I could always use one of those:) Anyway, sooo many people violate these rules! It’s about time somebody told them what’s up!

All of these commandments could be rendered obsolete by one single directive: Do not, under any circumstances, use Facebook.
I reckon it’s time to bring the internet back to the stage that it was at when DARPA had control of it. Only scientists, engineers, the military and the government allowed…
Actually, there are scientists that use Facebook as well. Maybe that plan isn’t so wise after all.

I still say that MySpace is better than Facebook. There’s a far more comprehensive listing of bands, artists, etc. To find new/local talent. My friend’s band once found an AMAZING local photographer to do their album art for DIRT CHEAP. You can customize your profile (extra ‘pimping’ is annoying, but it’s nice to have a black background with white text instead, or adjust the opacity of photographs, add slide shows, and embed a video from YouTube), build music playlists (that don’t necessarily auto-start), and as far as ‘FRIENDS’ go, your friends list is what you make of it. Not everyone on MySpace is a friends whore.
There’s no anonymity to Facebook, so you can get stalked a lot easier. While MySpace allows you to keep information entirely private, Facebook gives away your general location, possibly your school and graduation year, etc. Stuff that an astute person could use to track you down and rape you in an alley after meeting you one night in the bar, and then steal your purse and high heels.
Despite the negatives, I still manage a Facebook because some of my friends (who also have a MySpace) use it more.

My friend, Charlotte, she reckons she injects heroin at the weekends and goes shopping in Asda on Sundays. She buys clothes from Tesco as well. I gotta go Asda tomorrow tho, cos, i need to get a Hannah Montanna t-shirt for my sister. She’s in my room right now. She says hi.

Ohh, the apps thing is dead on. I can’t stand getting a bazillion apps requests - “Someone has thrown a football at you! Would you like to throw one back?” What kind of guilt trip is that? Suddenly my dependable mundane visit to facebook is complicated by people I barely know wanting me to participate in imaginary games that scare me. If these people phoned me and said , “I just threw a sexy toad at you, would you like to throw one back?!?!”, I would hang-up, and then pick-up and dial the crazy house. The only difference is I get a little graphic on facebook of a sexy-toad. Which is nice.

I have to admit, I did the gift thing for my birthday. I announced that it was the thought counts and no one can afford presents anyway, so leave a cyber-gift. Since the economy still sucks, I’ll probably do that for christmas, too.

People should stop bitching about the new Facebook. Sure it looks clustered and confusing at first but it’s actually a lot more convenient than the first one. People are just hating on it because they’re used to the old one. Evolve, people! Give it a couple days and stop griping over nothing.

Brilliant article! The gifts one is my favourite - and I agree it warrants its own rule. I can’t stand the idea of virtual gifts. I usually tell people: “Would you think it normal for me to write down the words ‘cute panda’ in pen on a small scrap of paper and hand it to you as a present? Does the scrap of paper change in value if I write ‘Mercedes Benz’ on it? No? Well, then why is it ok to send me a bunch of 1s and 0s that supposedly represent a panda, and call it a gift?”
September 26th, 2008 at 12:48 am

either way, i hope my post still holds true…
September 22nd, 2008 at 4:57 pm
i’m not too sure what you’re on about VAL, but there was never a case of “telling them how to live their lives” in this article… and the fact that you even mentioned that he has a “very sad and boring live [sic]” just cements the fact that you, in fact, are someone that “enjoys” a somewhat sad a boring “live” for even commenting on this article…
…but who am i to judge right? i would imagine a brisk talk with a stranger, and … i dunno, picking some flowers? that might just alleviate some of your social qualms and ‘net superiority, and, in the long run, maybe hook you up with a creep that enjoys a dodgy smile from someone picking flora in a state park…
different words. same premise.
but like i said. who am i to judge?
September 22nd, 2008 at 4:27 pm
The fact that you care about this supposedly “annoying stuff” so much to sit here and type up rules (you’ve, I am sure, thought long and hard about) shows that you have a very sad and boring live…

Ok, apparently I missed the memo that Facebook is the “grown-up” version of Myspace. Everyone I know has a Myspace, very few have a Facebook. Oh, and btw, I am 29 and a college graduate, just to clear that up. So what, like Facebook is Frasier, and Myspace is My Name is Earl? Well, sorry, maybe I’m simple white trash, but I choose Myspace with all its goofy glitter graphics and embedded junk any day. Except the apps though. Those truly are annoying on both social networking sites…

Facebook 10 Commandments? Give me a freakin’ break.
To those of you who actually follow a list of 10 Facebook Commandments;
Please do us all a favor and join LinkedIn. Call me a heathen, but people who carry a list of commandments around in their back pocket are too prudish for my friend list. But honestly, these are ones that should be subject to suspicion. You know, those people who are on Facebook on a daily basis, adding a million friends, yet, they never seem to post anything about themselves, and probably know everything there is to know about you? It makes me wonder what sort of covert operations they have going on. I think it’s ironic when people join facebook to socialize and then add so many friends that they stifle their self expression. Oh no, Susie Soandso might get the wrong idea about you. If you are in that much fear about offending someone, they probably shouldn’t be your friend. Be yourself people. And if you can’t, feel free to voyeur my page and live vicariously through those of us who don’t hold back much.

Thank you for not bashing the new facebook layout! Sure, separating recently posted pictures and profile information and wall posts onto different pages is rather inconvenient (as much as adding a single mouse click CAN be inconvenient) but I’d accept a freakin captcha for the ability to put all those stupid goddamned applications out of my face! How many times had I clicked someones profile to be greeted with the option to download 30 applications, and have to scroll down endlessly through “What kind of superpowers do you have?” and “Zombies I’ve bitten” to see anything meaningful. The new facebook is a credit to the designers realizing just in time that they were becoming just like myspace, and although it wont increase my usage of facebook (I wait until it emails me to log on) it at least gives me some respect for the designers.

But while increased connectivity is an undeniably good thing, you can just as easily use it to annoy the living hell out of everyone you know. This is the internet, after all, and if something on the internet can be used in an annoying way, you can safely assume that 99% of the population will proceed to do so (go try reading a comment on YouTube if you don’t believe me).

Jane Doe…doesn’t want to talk about it.
If she doesn’t, then don’t bring it up!! Or when they childishly post their status in an evasive but obviously directed way at someone.
Sally Ann…wishes that certain people would get a life and move on.

I’ve never personalized a profile page but think it’s a good idea - why doesn’t Facebook allow that?? And does anyone else think the New Facebook is too complicated and cluttered? I liked the old style, one page, just to the point and simple. I open and scroll down - that’s it. Now when I open a friend’s page, I have to open four or more different pages to see their profile.

“A TEENAGE girl in central India killed herself on Wednesday after being traumatised by media reports that a “Big Bang” experiment in Europe could bring about the end of the world”
It does seem a bit superfluous to me. Why would you kill yourself to prevent something from killing you?
I hate to be the voice of reason here, but you’re wrong about the LHC. It already has destroyed the world. If you’d bothered to read Cracked’s 6 Scientific Experiments That Will Destroy the World you’d know that the LHC is going to create time travel. Therefore, due to the likelihood of a number of effects occuring at once, the destruction of the world has already happened in the past, but since the destruction of the Earth quantumly voodoo’d back into the past, time hasn’t had time to catch up with it. So basically, we’re all living in a world that is slowly being destroyed from the past. The Rapture has already come and gone, to coincide with LHC’s death ray: 17 people worldwide were already taken to Heaven, leaving the rest of us behind.

The funniest part of this post is the fact that you think that FaceBook is somehow better and less annoying than MySpace. They’re both horrible, pointless abominations with no redeeming value whatsover.
Not wanting to judge it before I saw it for myself, I signed up for a FaceBook account. The signup process pissed me off. Once I’d signed up, I got annoying emails and alerts about shit I don’t care about and never signed up for. I looked all over the damn place but could not find one useful feature in the entire thing.

So I just looked up what they did with the LHC today, and all they did was fire 1 particle one way and then let the machine cool down. Then they fired one the other way and let it cool down. They wanted to make sure it was running at full capasity before coliding particles. Not sure when that is.
So I guess the world could still end.
September 10th, 2008 at 9:32 pm
I actually I like Fela Kuti quite a lot. That commandment was the one I used to break on facebook, but then I quickly realized it was retarded and tried to limit to like 20 bands, no movies, and whatever tv shows i make sure that i watch in that given week when I occasionally update.
The really sad thing about facebook is that it used to be awesome. When it was just college students (it came out my freshman year) - at first I resisted because i hate all things myspace, but eventually gave in because it became too much of a hassle not to have. Easiest way to invite people to a party ever. It was great. But then they kept letting more and more people on and allowing more apps and dumb shit on there.
Also, I totally just realized that the article that made me laugh the hardest out of every article I’ve read on cracked, made me laugh so hard i literally fell on the floor and was unable to breathe, was written by Ross. The Cliff Notes to Pussy Crook by Mystikal. To be fair though, Mystikal did most of the work.

Ross is just a damned poser. As long as you let everyone know you like mainstream shit like Radiohead and Nickelback it’s OK. But as soon as you put someone who ISN’T a corporate whore on your profile you’re a douchebag who’s trying to impress people with his edgy tastes.

I agree with number 9, but get more pissed at peeps who use their status in a “Look at me, look at me, im amazing/want sympathy” way. I have one Friend** who feels the need to update daily with things like:
“X is wishing Y would reconsider and give her another chance”
“X wonders when the hurt is going to go away”
“X knows she should take responsibility for her problems so she can grow”
**I believe the only reason anyone adds anyone on facebook is so you can snoop at their stuff. Or thats why I do anyway.

Don’t know if anyone else added this comment yet, but you’re missing one crucial commandment:
Thou Shalt Not Enter Relationship Status Information Ever
People who know you already know you are single or in a relationship. What void are you trying to fill by making Johnny from 4th grade know it too? You get in a fight with your girlfriend, guess what? She heads right to Facebook for sympathy. Three seconds later, you’ll be bombarded with “Are you Ok?”s and “Is it true?”s until you delete your entire account, which is probably a good thing anyway.
September 10th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
i love these commandments. i love facebook too, it’s a good way to connect to my friends because none of them really email anymore. plus you dont need to bug them for their sn, all you have to know is their name. i think this should be required reading to all wishing to make an account. it would just make facebook a better place.
September 10th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
Are there any rules for removing people from your friend list?
I did that after having a silly once-off online argument, and we haven’t spoken face to face ever since. We actively avoid eachother in public…
Ooops… Thanks a lot, Facebook. Fuckbook.

September 10th, 2008 at 4:07 pm
So dude, why join facebook in the first place if you hate everything about it? just keep using your email to stay in touch with your friends or some shit like that.

I tried FaceBook and hated it. The novelty wore off after about a week and after that I never went on it. I de-activated my account but people were still insistent that they “sent me an invite on FaceBook” even though I have told them I don’t use it.
I have since had my account completely deleted and refuse to go back and do not miss it in the slightest.
When guys from elementary school that used to tease the shit out of me add me, and then try to chat like they are my buds, it tends to annoy me. I just don’t want to deal with their crap anymore. I put up with it then, but am an adult now and don’t need a website to keep me linked to assholes like that.
I just don’t see the point. I email people who I want to stay in contact with…it’s that simple. I don’t need FaceBook and all if it’s retarded apps to help me in sending an email to someone when I can do that already.

I never liked MySpace or Facebook. They seem so dull and if you say otherwise then you must be on it 24-7. What’s the point of leaving someone a comment then waiting a day or 2 to have them respond? Plus, they tend to mutate people like my cousin for example who used to be a bookworm who didn’t care about fashion, but after joining MySpace, she became a total slut posting pictures of herself in lingerie. Besides that, there are people who actually have over 100 friends and I doubt they know each and every one and if they do then they’re actually proving my point that people like that spend hours mindlessly sending stupid messages that anyone could probably reply with one word, but who does that, right? You don’t want to be one those people, so you send longer messages thereby piling up the hours. I’m also gonna go ahead and add that they also text. Why bother taking a couple seconds to call someone when you can waste a few minutes typing up the same thing? I’ll admit that sometimes it’s useful, but to text for an entire conservation? Come on you got be kidding me. Are you too lazy to dial their number? Or talk? Is that more of a hassle than to type something you could say in less than a second? Don’t say people don’t text that much. They do. why else would there be some many phones with keyboards? For internet? And what website are you going to? MySpace. I rest my case.
September 10th, 2008 at 2:49 pm
@DOB I don’t think it’s possible to get you and Ross mixed up. It makes sense with Gladstone since you were a fighting team for justice. The killings were for a good cause. Ross just kills for recreation. And so movies with Jake Gyllenhaal and that dude from ER can be made.

This list totally applies to MySpace as well.

I’m gonna have to say that the “Wall” is a waste of time (that I’m sometimes guilty of). Conversations in the Comments (Commensations?!) are a desperate way of displaying to the world your social life, or lack there of. The examples of appropriate usage of the Wall are things that look like they should be sent as a text message. If you have something to say to me, send me a person message.

Ok, the thing about the groups is, well, me and a friend got into some friendly competition about who was the biggest group whore. Then at around 800 groups facebook limited the number of groups to 200, but I could still accept invites, so at that point 1000 groups became sort of a personal challenge, a way to stick it to the man.
Also, on the friends thing, a lot of apps are better if you have more friends playing them, so I’d rather add people I don’t really know than piss off all my real friends by inviting them to the same apps 100 times

I completely understand number 8. Just the other night, I had too much to drink, and access to the internet. I managed to save myself from total humiliation by just mashing the keyboard with my hand every time i wanted to say something damaging. So all it came out with was a stream of random letters numbers and punctuation.
It’s a technique called Drunken Preservation, where your partially alcohol poisoned brain realises you’re going to irreprably fuck up your life by pressing a few buttons and clicking Post Comment, and forcibly squashes the part of you that thinks that your friend really needs to know that she has awesome boobs and shouldn’t have got married.
Drunken Preservation, it’s what’s for dinner.

‘That Skull Face Guy’ i forget his name but he’s being tattooed all over his body to have his skeleton on the outside, its like an ongoing body art project sort of like The Enigma(Jigsaw man) and The Cat Man
Its actually really cool if you’re interested in something like that
But as for these rules
Am i the only one who just doesnt get facebook?
I have one, and i have friends on there but i….honestly i never visit it unless i get an email that i’ve a wall post or message or what ever, which is rare since i never use it
i DO have a Myspace but i really use it more as a communication tol for a few friends
I dont quite understand social networking sites, i’ve never facebook stalked any one or used it to track down long lost friends, although people have done that to me
I dont know…
their time is coming to an end, lets face it, more and more people are using 3D sites like Second Life and IMVU, not just the super smart people who can figure that complex shit out
I just dont see networking sites lasting much longer
Specially not now the LHC has been turned on.
In a matter of hours we could all be sucked into a big black hole so…nothing matters any more really….whats say we all party, riot, pillage and loot
And rape i always wanted to try rape, bring me a hot man and see what i can do to him
also, murder, of course.

I thought of another commandment. Thou shalt not live on facebook.
It might fall under those who update their status everytime the get up off the couch, but it also should include those who comment on every picture, note, and wall post just seconds after you’ve posted them. These are the type of people who want to ‘chat’ with you everytime you pop onto facebook to quickly read a message in your inbox. And then seem upset that you have to go live your life away from the modem.
And they make ‘friends’ with fictional characters.

Thank you for this list. Maybe you should send it to the creators of Facebook, too.
They seem to be in violation of rule number one. The longer I’m on Facebook, the more it seems aimed towards the under 16 crowd.
With the new (read confusing and unwanted) layout and the barrage of ads, it’s becoming ridiculous. But still nonetheless, better than myspace.

You forgot “Thou shalt not invite people to tiny events on the other side of the country”
No I don’t want to go to your housewarming party in Wyoming, I LIVE IN NYC. I don’t care that you’re having a happy hour in Oregon. Please don’t invite me and spam my inbox with constant update reminders that are sent to “Members of Oregon Happy Hour”
If you have something good, like a massive concert in oklahoma by my fav bands, or a naked dance party with the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition models in miami, by all means invite me. IF NOT THEN LET ME BE, I LIVE IN THE NORTHEAST.

I still prefer myspace and I am all growed up. I have been forced to use Facebook because some people that I know can’t figure out how to copy and paste codes to a profile to make it more personal.
Either way, sending a short message online is way better than actually picking up the phone and calling someone. These sites allow you to “stay friends” with someone that you can’t/don’t want to make time for in real life.
Also, on facebook I am a vampire and a werewolf. Neat-o.

I like getting gifts. It means I’m loved.
And I only poke people that dress like they want it.
September 10th, 2008 at 10:00 am
Also, I’m proud to be a Gladstone friend. He makes the best peanut butter cookies ever!
In conclusion: give me kittens.

First!!1!exclamationpoint!
Ariel: I think that Skull Guy should be more worried about saggy skin in old age… Plus the whippersnapper will never take him seriously, nor get off his lawn.
Are you serious? As a 5 year old, I can tell you, if some old mofo came out yelling at me to get off his lawn, and he looked like Baron Samedi, I would get off his lawn so hard, it would make my own head spin!
And regarding the giving of gifts on Facebook… that is seriously irritating, and stupid. Except for kittens. Kittens rule, motherfucker! Anyone on Facebook who want to give me a kitten gift can do so at any time. (Liek, FRND ME, plz?)
September 10th, 2008 at 9:57 am
If you’ve been on myspace recently, then you’d know that like, this list? Yeah, totally applies there too now. When, oh when! will social networking sites STOP with the asinine apps. Throw a sheep! Send a gift no one wants! Woot! >_< Who comes up with this stuff, and how can we toss them into the zomg-deadly HCL or whatever it is that the scientists have a hard on over.
September 10th, 2008 at 9:51 am
But maybe if I update my status when I go from my couch to my armchair someone will notice me. I just have to find that special status update that makes all of my friends realize how incredible I really am. I NEED SOMEONE TO CARE ABOUT ME!
September 10th, 2008 at 9:49 am
This was all kinds of awesome, Ross. Dugg. I hope you didn’t hurt Gladstone’s feelings too much.
September 10th, 2008 at 9:39 am
funny and true…ooo - now i’m gonna post this on my facebook profile!:)
September 10th, 2008 at 9:39 am
Awesome list! People are so lazy when it came to the whole poking thing. Very annoying!
I find the ads on “crackbook” make apps very slow. I won’t complain if it means keeping it free, but come on…..
September 10th, 2008 at 9:26 am
Einstürzende Neubauten are awesome bitch!
September 10th, 2008 at 9:20 am
Although I must say Gladstone’s wall post made me crack a smile.
September 10th, 2008 at 9:19 am
Usually most of the blog entries are pretty funny; unfortunately, this ranked a solid “meh.” (Or does using “meh” violate one of your rules?) All your rules go against what should be the Ultimate Rule of the Internet: “If you can ignore it, and it’s mainly Internet-related, thou shalt not bitch about it.” (Note that bitching about the perpetual rape of the English language is not covered by this rule, but bitching about people posting “FIRST!” totally is covered.)
Also, I suspect that there is some bitterness behind this–bitterness that Gladstone is now a big Internet celebrity (and porking his neighbor)! Ross, it’s time to fight fire with fire.
September 10th, 2008 at 9:16 am
I think that Skull Guy should be more worried about saggy skin in old age (c’mon - skulls will always be badass). But when those wicked teeth are hanging down by his jowly neck, well then he’s gonna look pretty darn stupid. Plus the whippersnapper will never take him seriously, nor get off his lawn.
Also, DOB, I agree wholeheartedly, apps are dumb. And I love ignoring them (not really, it’s a whole nother mouse click I could do with out)
September 10th, 2008 at 9:10 am
Excellent! I’m going to go post this link on all my “friends’” walls.
Metalbrainsurgery, just create your own app. If someone can create an app to toss sheep, you should be able to create one to dick slap or “puke a little in your mouth”.
September 10th, 2008 at 9:02 am
By violating any of these rules, you will be violated by the blingee dog in your third eye.
September 10th, 2008 at 8:59 am
“skulls aren’t that cool any more” excuse me if i hold on to mine for the rest of my natural life though………
September 10th, 2008 at 8:52 am
if you poke someone, you can see a bit of their profile, and if they poke back you can see a bit of theirs.
that’s what it’s for, i think; sending a message does the same, but poking shows you care less.
poking people who are already your friends, however, is an exercise in pointlessness
September 10th, 2008 at 8:49 am
I had a high school person I barely remember putting out updates about how much her vagina had dilated while she was giving birth.
I puked a little in my mouth.
I heard there was a feature where you can fake friend people— they are on the list but their updates don’t show up. Can someone please god tell me how to do that?!
September 10th, 2008 at 8:47 am
My sister got a friend request from the guy who tried to strangle her one night in a drunken row - what a moron - who would ask to be friends with someone you’d done that to?
September 10th, 2008 at 8:47 am
Mixing Facebook with tiredness can be a bit awkward, too. I contacted someone to say that I liked the Romanian actress Rona Hartner (Gadjo dilo - have a watch), too, and it turned out to be Rona Hartner.
Top article, by the way.

(fluff)Friends doesn’t count as a Stupid App, does it? I thought not.
September 10th, 2008 at 8:40 am
Awww… Poor Gladstone. All he wants is people to join his group.
Anyway, great post! To this date, I’ve never seen anyone deck out their page as egregiously as they did on MySpace, but… well, I’d just like to say, that for all the laughs this thing’s given me (the bit about pokes was very enlightening), I will have to add SOMEONE to a LIST if you just gave twenty people ideas.
No more glitter. O_o Have mercy, dammit!
September 10th, 2008 at 8:39 am
I went away for two weeks, and when i got back i had 108 requests from people asking me to add app’s. I was happy when they invited the ignore all button. Facebook is good for keeping in touch though. (and for being one of g-stones 1000 friends)
September 10th, 2008 at 8:36 am
12. Thou shalt not link to the godawful new format.
September 10th, 2008 at 8:32 am
11. Thou shalt change to a fucking retarded new format as soon as everything is working and thereby alienate everyone who finds a clean one-page layout more useful than myspace’s eye candy clusterfuck.
September 10th, 2008 at 8:32 am
Live panda it is…sorry I was just trying to be friendly, and you know maybe not kill all your neighbors but hey whatever man. One thing…if you wouldn’t mind…don’t send me a panda back, I really have no where to put it. Thanks!
September 10th, 2008 at 8:25 am
I hate face book, and I hate myspace. Neither of them have an ap where I can dick slap people.
September 10th, 2008 at 8:24 am
Not sure a real life panda is such a real idea. I’m sure if you asked DOB really nicely he’s mail you a real a pink striped thong, though.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to check if there’s any free gifts on Facebook at the moment to send to you… Wanna be friends? O_O

It’s Baron Samedi. You don’t want to be insulting Baron Samedi.

You idiot, BearMan. Skulls, like tribal arm bands, will never get old.

Where did you get that picture of the skullface guy? He already looks pretty fucktarded, but I can’t imagine what that’s going to look like on him 30 years down the road when he realizes that skulls aren’t that cool anymore.
September 10th, 2008 at 8:12 am
Thank you for this blog, I will definitely be sending it to my friends who horribly violate all the rules.
