So I turn on my computer a few minutes ago and my aim says if I don't upgrade to there new 7.3 version I won't be able to use there service, so since I do just that on a daily basis I relunctantly downloaded. It installed in less then 30 seconds but when I was greeted by the new layout all I could see was that aim-like every other site on the web now it seems-is offering me to connect with fb and not just here, every other website i'm linked to as well. I get it, fb is what's most popular now, but shit! I already have hundreds of ppl to talk, listen to and occasionaly ignore when the news feed becomes a plethora of myopic declorations. Why the fuck would I want to add nearly everyone from fb and a dozen more sites just to see what i'm posting on aim (which is nothing) or to give my fb post the tag "via aim"???
Another thing that I caught notice of is that aim now insists you to put your first and last name to use it as your display. If y'all ain't know many jobs do an online search for your social network sites by either your name or the e-mail you provide on your job application. If your first and last name are listed on whatever site your on, they'll easily see it and take notice. That's when posting those pics of you being hung over and blowing smoke in the camera don't seem so bright. Of course if aimless popularity is your contentment all this is great news for you! I only wish you growth and sucess because you will be in dire need of it when you come to realize how detrimental this massive social connection of 2010 is.
Use your head. Don't connect any further with this facebook mosnter lol. It's all in the grand scheme.
