“Facebook Anthem” Says We’re Bored of Facebook
Posted by Nick O'Neill on February 29th, 2008 5:01 PMThis morning one of my readers sent me an email alerting me to a new Facebook video on YouTube. I wasn’t initially going to post anything but this video has attracted over 20,000 views and I have a feeling that it may just go viral. While it’s nowhere near as good as the bubble video, it is definitely interesting. I just wonder if this is an accurate portrayal of the majority or if it’s a select few. Are you tired of Facebook?

Done by a viral marketing company. Kind of ironic.

Yes, facebook fatigue — thanks to pointless and annoying applications — is definitely here.

Where did they video go? It says, no longer available!

Perfect reflection.

Maybe it’s become too much like hard work. What started out as timewasting fun has become too demanding & in some ways a little autocratic.

I don’t disagree with the video.

Tastefully done ditty!
Gotta say I agree with their sentiments. However, I think Facebook fatigue sets in when people haven’t trained themselves to ignore 95% of the visual noise. Facebook themselves added in that “ignore all” link not all that long ago. It’s one of my fave features!
Now, what I’d *really* love to see is a mass opt-out for certain apps. Like “don’t ever send me x app invite again.” That would save more time. I know each app can be blocked individually, but I mean when a request comes in.

@Mari there is, it’s a link under the app invite that says Block This Application. I’ve used that button a lot
