Is Facebook/Myspace Ruining Social Outings? Options

[Tung]

So I was at a party this weekend, and the majority of the time it was taking just taking pictures. What happen to just enjoying your time at the party, drink dance, go wild. Instead, it's everyone let's get together for group pic. snap snap. then everyone goes to each other with a camera and snap snap. then at great america the next day, I overheard so many people, like "ey take my picture, i'ma post it on myspace" i was like wtf? are you guys here to go on the rides, or take pictures. i don't know, sometimes i feel like everytime i go out now, everyone is so concern about taking pictures and trying to look good, because they know it's going to be on fb/myspace. I think it's really annoying hanging with some of my friends who are major fb whores who have 10,000 tagged photos/albums. nowadays, i try to avoid them, and hang with people who doesn't carry a camera around and snapping pictures 24/7.

I totally agree with what you're sayin', and I mos def know some people like that, but Facebook and other soc nets can be used more rationally to help create more social outings, imo.

I really like the Events feature for organizing and promoting events. Although the RSVP may not be 100% accurate, it's a nice first step to letting people know what's going on.

I completely agree. Except people get pissed off about not remembering about the event because the organizer didn't send a reminder through Facebook (mind you, they check Facebook every day and the organizer reminded them IN PERSON a few days before)
