I find these lists incredibly annoying. For goodness sakes, if you don't like how someone behaves on Facebook, Twitter, or any other social network site, quit following them! There's no one forcing anyone to consume other people's messages. It strikes me as mildly amusing that we are treated to simultaneous discourses about how (a) everyone on these sites is narcissistic and (b) everyone should behave on these sites in the way that most interests ME. Am I the only one who notices a bit of a contradiction there? No offence to Christophe whom I recognize is passing this along, not claiming it as his own.

(CNN) -- Facebook, for better or worse, is like being at a big party with all your friends, family, acquaintances and co-workers.
Quite sure Barry (i mean, @barry wellman) will agree with this one. And if it's been posted already, just put me in the adequate one among the 12 boxes (just i'm probably in each of them already, oh well...)
