Yes it is a trend megadommer, because im positive in a couple years something better WILL come out and facebook WILL just be another thing of the past... Think about it, you had myspace and it has more or less fallen off the face of the earth. Now no one uses it because "ooooh look facebook and twitter came out so i just HAVE to make one or else i wont be cool and more in touch with people." when in reality all you do is fucking make a god damn farm, post on peoples walls like they give a shit what you're doing every day of your life and waste time with that second life bullshit.
Even if people you knew lived half way across the earth how hard is it to pick up the damn phone and call them? otherwise you sit there and take a full day on facebook making one conversation, when you could have called and been done with it within 30 minutes.....
