    On Facebook, 100 odd friends want to know whatever the f*** I want to write

    That's what Facebook is for. They've got options to hide people, and I'm a frequent user of those options.

    Otherwise, the whole reason you're logging into Facebook at all hours of the day is to read about the offhand banalities of your circle of acquaintances. Cute babies? Drunken parties? Random song lyrics? Check, check, check. What else are you doing on Facebook? Is my baby update cutting into your Bejeweled Blitz time?
