The Comfy Corner

As I was doing my usual once over on my news feed, I saw something new; a sneaky addition to Facebook that was thrown in without any warning (I can picture the Snidely Whiplash-esque Facebook people all sitting in their dark rooms laughing maniacally and tapping their fingers together like crazy people as they make their little changes). You can now "like" people's comments. Basically, this new function is just making the whole stalking process quicker and easier for me. No longer do I have to take the time out of my busy schedule to type "I like Susan's comment...lol." I can simply go to Susan's comment, press the like button and go back to scrolling through my news feed.

The danger? Once you like anything on Facebook, Facebook automatically assumes that you want to be updated on what everyone else has to say about it as well. Sometimes, I must admit that I secretly really enjoy getting updates on everything. My inbox quickly fills with messages making me feel extra popular and I am basically thrown into a Facebook mini drama. I get all the gory details on what everyone thought of Catherine Zeta Jones' performance at the Tony's or what people think about Susan's drunk photo with Zach (drrama!). But, other times I really don't wanna know what everyone thinks about the humidity in New York, so I muster up all the restraint I can, and I refrain from pressing that devilishly easy to click like button.
