Facebook and Instagram, sitting in a tree

K-I-S-S-I-N-G. First comes love, then comes marriage then comes Facebook pushing a baby carriage.

Or at least that's how it would go if Facebook and Instagram were people, but they're not!

Wow, what a week it's been for Instagram, first they announce that Instagram will be available for Android phones - which got all the iPhoner's up in arms because how dare they let those dreaded Android people have access to their precious precious picture taking application.

Well let me tell you, Instagram doesn't care about you iPhoner's they only care about the money they make. And with Android now taking more than 50% of the phone platforms it only makes sense, so you iPhoner's stick that in your iPhone and smoke it. You never were special, you never were precious, you were only a stepping stone in Instagrams major plan to take over the picture taking world with a bunch of silly filters.

And with Instagram being downloaded more than 50 Million times (just so you can see it, that's: 50,000,000 times) it's bound to be ever larger than it was on iPhone, so phfttttt to you Apple fanboys.

Now, it's just been announced that Mark Zuckerburg paid $1B (just so you can see it, that's $1,000,000,000 (3 more zeros than a million) for Instagram so he could integrate it into Facebook. A BILLION FREAKIN' DOLLARS!!!!! That's just crazy....for an application on your phone that applies filters to your crappy pictures to make them look like crappy pictures that your parents took in the 70's, just so you can pretend to be a hipster.

I don't get the point of Instagram? What's the point of taking a nice, hi-res picture and degrading it to make it look like it's 40 years old? I thought the point of new technology was to make things brighter and better than they were in the olden days? Does a picture of a flower look nicer if you "think" that it's 40 years old and not juts taken seconds ago on your smartphone and uploaded to the Internet where you can share it with all your friends?

I won't be downloading Instagram, sorry, I like my photos the new-phangled way - bright and sharp.

I imagine that when Zuckerburg was in meetings with Instagram, he was channeling Dr. Evil from Austin Power's and put his pinky to his finger and said "I'll give you one BILLION dollars" and at the same time was thinking "Wow, I got such a deal"

Did Facebook get hacked?

Why is Facebook telling me, on my Wall page that they need my email address.

This greeted me this evening when I was checking my page. It really makes me wonder what's going on with Facebook lately? It has really been acting up, not loading pages, giving multiple errors while attempting to comment on a post or just giving blank pages with an error "your account is unavailable."

I'm really starting to lose interest in Facebook since it's become so unreliable lately. Now that they're asking me for an email address when I know darn well that I sort of had to use an email address to get an account it makes me even more uncomfortable - almost makes me think they got hacked - because I'm very responsible in my app loading and don't click on just everything that comes my way.

What's going on Facebook? You were a lot of fun, but now you're just like that clunker that I tried to turn in for cash a few months back - just waiting to fall apart.
