Facebook Dire-Rear
Facebook, in the few years of its existence, has almost
become an essential aspect of most people’s lives. There are many uninitiated
and uninterested people who today are converts and now well within the folds of
Facebook and thus help increase its popularity even further. Infact, I read
somewhere that, Facebook has sufficient members to be declared as a country!
On an earlier occasion I wrote about an emerging
phenomenon called, Facebook Celebrity and the repercussions of being or not
being one! Today I wanted to explore another such emerging phenomenon. I prefer
to call this phenomenon Facebook Diarrhea. Pardon me for a slightly corny name
to this phenomenon; I think no other name would have suited this behavior
better. Diarrhea, as we all know, has symptoms of having three or more liquid
bowel movements per day. Undoubtedly a serious condition and could be fatal as
well.
Ofcourse the word Diarrhea, apart from being used to
describe a medical condition, has been used in more occasions than one to describe
similar liquid movements of things other than just the bowel. For example a terminology
used often to describe people who demonstrate symptoms of uncontrollable
nonstop nonsense is, Verbal Diarrhea. Needless to say, the people at receiving end
don’t consider it to be a compliment and often take offense to it. Obviously I am fully aware that while
describing a certain behavior and naming it Facebook diarrhea, I will be
rubbing few people the wrong way and also be at the receiving end of their
wrath. Nonetheless describe I will.

One might ask why I don’t pick Twitter. Twitter, if one
observes, is all about diarrhea and it is the rule not the exception. So
Twitter diarrhea cannot be described as a special phenomenon. There is many
more such phenomenon waiting to be discovered on Facebook. Till I discover
another one- so long.
