Facebook.

I hate Facebook. There. I said it. It’s just the most painfully difficult site I’ve ever used on the Internet (and that includes MySpace). To whit: Not long ago I got an e-mail alerting me to the fact that an old friend from college named Michelle Sweet had added me as a friend. Gee, that’s nice. I’d like to add good ol’ Mitchell (as we called her) to my list. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do that. Searching for her name brings up nothing. Browsing through 160+ profiles from my graduating class brings up nothing. How the hell did I get an e-mail from her if she’s not on there? Also, I tried to join the “Sydney” network and it asked me to provide a “valid Sydney e-mail address.” What the hell does that mean? I put it my normal one and got rejected. Why is everything on this site so damned difficult?
