No. I Don’t Care About My Friends THAT Much
So Yahoo has decided it wants to be Facebook, so is encouraging me to add email names to my list of ‘Connections,’ I guess, so my friends can see my avatar and maybe see what I’m doing. And I, likewise, can see what they’re up to.
But, honestly? I’m not 15, I don’t have a lot of spare time, I am not that popular, and frankly, I don’t care that much if my friends are getting coffee, or tired, or all done with wrapping presents! or whatever. And if I wanted to know that, I’d head to Facebook or Twitter, not Yahoo, which handles all my email.
So, misanthrope that I am, I am saying ‘no’ to every request for a connection. And I am seriously ticked off at Yahoo for trying to force me into a social dialogue I’m not comfortable having in this venue.
Grrr.
Your Friend,
Megan

Ooph. I didn’t know yahoo was doing this. I get my yahoo mail through Thunderbird, so hardly ever deal with the actual site unless I’m checking my junk mail.

I didn’t know about this. I’m not that friendly either. As a matter of fact I’m downright cranky.

Who has that kind of time???
I like that dress, though.
