my little Facebook "project"

After becoming terribly frustrated with MySpace I joined Facebook because I thought it would be a better way to connect with my friends and family.  I've been using Facebook for nearly 6 years for the most part had a good experience with it.  I can upload pictures of my artwork to share with others, and connect with other artists I would never meet otherwise.  The downside of Facebook is that it can become very boring very quickly, because media content is rapidly cycled and recycled and we get bombarded with as much trash as quality content. I did a little project, a little experiment, inspired by my feelings of dissatisfaction about the content on Facebook.

I posted a meaningless "word picture" that is very similar to pictures that show up on my feed every day.

Then I posted a popular platitude:

...and had a very intellectual conversation about it.

Then I changed my profile to something that expresses who I am and is also a very nice looking picture.

I put some pictures of my friends up to show that I have some:

Then topped it off with a cat picture:

I didn't get much of a response from anyone.  I expected this, but I did do some thinking about the meaning of what I post on the Intertubes, and what it means to the people that are subjected to the things I post.  I wonder if anyone hid me from their news feed or "unfriended" me because of it.
