So,you hear time and time again how “great” the social network is, right? Well, for some, it is.

A majority of women, however, have become quite disgusted with the “friends” they have collected on Facebook, finding them very bothersome at times.

According to an article posted on Networkworld.com, Eversave, a company dealing in coupons, recently conducted a survey centered on how social networking influences shopping and the use of deals. They got a lot more info than they expected apparently.

Woman, who still admit they communicate more frequently and readily thanks to social networking, are also complaining about their Facebook pals. The women are getting tired of seeing status updates from their newfound “frenemies” regarding personal complaints, praise for their children, grandchildren, political views and bragging about their lives in general.

The result, in my opinion, to these,very amusing, recent findings is simple: No matter what outlet women use to attempt to communicate, we will always find that the company of other women will grow annoying and tiresome if it lasts too long. What is the saying regarding “too much of a good thing”? It may very well do you harm. Women and their “frenemies” should take note.

MY THOUGHTS

What bothers me about Facebook is that you are 'friends' with people who are not really your friends.  If you are, why would status updates about family annoy you?  Why would you consider 'happy news' as 'bragging'?  Why won't you want to know more about your 'friend' through their 'political views'?

My biggest question is - why are you on Facebook if things like these annoy you?
