Awesome day today.
Having maxed out my friends list, I thought I’d convert my Facebook profile into a page.
Great idea right?
Not really…
My profile was zapped into oblivion the instant I clicked the button. All my friends, photos I was tagged in and everything else… gone. Poof!
Do you think it had anything to do with my breakup letter?
Dear Facebook,
I’m sorry I didn’t tell you about Google+ before. A friend introduced us, and one thing led to another. It was not like I set out to cheat on you.
I want you to know I still care for you and feel horrible and ashamed for what I’ve done.
There’s really no good excuse I can give for my actions, and I can only hope someday you’ll find it in your heart to forgive me.
Look, I know you’re upset, but please understand it’s not you, it’s me…
We’ve been together for many years now, and when we met, it was love at first sight. What you and I had was soooo much better than any other relationship I’ve ever had. That’s why my decision to dump MySpace for you was an easy one.
It’s just that sometimes I feel like you’re expecting more than I can give you. And when you blocked me last week from “liking” and accused me of abuse, well, I felt really unloved and unappreciated.
In the many years we’ve been together, I’ve never done anything to cause distrust.
OK, there was that fling with Twitter, but you know it meant nothing to me.
There’s another thing I’ve been meaning to tell you…
Sometimes I feel like you want to control my social life. I mean, you limit my friendships to 5,000.
I’m really growing as a person and, Facebook, sometimes it feels like you are trying to hold me back.
I’ve met new circles of friends through Google+ that I would have never met through you. I mean, I even have Mark Zuckerberg in my circle of acquaintances. I really wanted to be introduced to Mark through you, but I waited for years and it never happened.
Facebook, what I’m trying to say is, I love you, but I really like Google+ and I want to see where things go with that. That doesn’t mean I’m dumping you like I did MySpace. I just think it’s time we had more of an open relationship.
You will forever be in my heart.
Love Always,
Tim “TJ” Erway
Update: Well my friends were finally converted into “likes.” Yay! Facebook, I no longer hate you but I’m still sad that all my tagged pics no longer show up.
