Playing Your Personal Life Out on Facebook, Twitter, Digg, etc




By Alicia Cruz

You might know one of them: couples that take their love spats to the Internet.

They post any and everything about their relationship and daily interactions.


"We just got out of bed...umm, after doing it all night long"

"Ugh! I can't stand my b/f...he's just as big a jerk as his father"


"Ugh! My in-laws...what Neanderthals! What a waste of skin..."


"Sigh....me and b/f just had a fight. He's mad that I saw my ex...He's so weak"


"I can't wait till the hubby gets home...I'm gonna Rock his world..."


....and then, it gets worse:

"My father is such a weak, inept, jackass...no wonder my mom left him!"

"No one understands me...maybe I should have never been born..."

"My sister got jumped to day. Those mutha-f---ing bi---- don't know who de fu----- wit do they? I'm a real gangsta!"

I hate a weak nig--- like the one I got sleeping next to me...weak a---! And he wonder why a bi--- is tossin' salads!"

"Does anyone know the symptoms for a yeats infection or bacterial vaginosis? HELP!"



Nothing is sacred these days with all the social networks that encourage you to share every minute of your day (uber twitter, mobile uploads).

You can let us know when you leave a restaurant, what you ate, how dumb the waitress was, how much you paid and which one of your friends didn't pay for all of their food.


Some people play their relationships, divorce, pain and anger for the entire world to read, judge and comment on.

I don''t know if they're looking for attention or a few fries short of a $1.99 happy meal. Whatever it is, it can sometimes be annoying and even embarrassing as you watch some people make total fools of themselves.


Nothing...I mean nothing is sacred!

If they're menstruating, cramping, tired, sad, glad, laid-off, broke, busted or just bored...we all know about it.

It's wild.

The New York Times did an article about this very subject.


Mr. Gower and Ms. Andrews played their differences out for millions to read. Low-blows, antagonism and everything in between...if one of them felt it, everyone on their friends list read about it and sometimes commented on it. Read on...

NYTIMES: WHEN COUPLES FIGHT ON THE INTERNET

WHAT is the sound of an awkward silence on Facebook? If you have to ask, then you probably don’t have friends like James Gower and Ashley Andrews, high school sweethearts from Spring, Tex., who are both 22 and engaged to be married this May.

Mr. Gower, a master of the passive-aggressive status update...Full Article
