Murder of an Unsocial Socialite

The Murder of an Unsocial Socialite

In an ever lengthy flow of words formed from the tapping of letters on a keyboard between the addicted socialites of the unsocial networks, but nevertheless in an effort to prove that they are social, these two gurus of the network grail suddenly take their focus away from the main point of topic being disseminated when one of them request the other that a visual conversation might be appropriate…….Then there is silence on the keyboard for a while as the brain of the respondent begins to take on board the realization that he may actually have to speak and use real words and real facial expressions to communicate with his unfriendly socialite. WOW! Thinks the unsocial socialite, shall I resort to the pointing of the finger over the unlike button and remove him from my sight as he then continues to murmur to himself, out of the hearing of people around him? This surely is a major decision in this unsocial relationship between people who were once in love with the uniqueness of their unsocial friends’ expletives expressed promptly at the tap of a key. Shall I take him out of the way he thinks again and remove him from my sight forever? This is now a major decision that will need to be pondered over for a while as the unsocial socialite broods and takes up space in his thinking. Shall I obliterate him from the face of the Facebooks or put him in the twit section of Twitters for him to tweet alone. Perhaps I should disembody him from Myspace and let him have his own space as he is quite self sufficient to Buzz his way within another unsocial social network. Shall I murder him with my mouse click? Alas, the clicking stops.

Facebook of Dummies

I glanced at a a couple of books the other day and misread their caption line as “Facebook of Dummies” rather than “Facebook for Dummies”. Even Twitter doesn't escape this tag. I guess, as I look deeper into the meaning of the English trying to express itself through this caption, it seems impossible to take my interpretations away from how oblivious social network users have become to their own relationships “as dummies” to these inapproachable systems which conjure myriads of useless pieces of information and try to make intellectual or sensible conclusions using the human. Sadly, most humans are dummies, wandering in their oblivious toil which clicks a mouse to speak as the cursor caresses the face and profile of another dummy. So, all you dummies out there, waiting for your mouse to tweet, remember that it doesn’t, it just clicks. Oh! Did I say tweet? What a dummy I am, I mean "squeak"!

The correct names for the books are the following:
