Facebook has matched Myspace and raised it with a dose of not so ugly site structure. This has efficiently joined a tiny portion of the real world with the virtual world. If you're raving upset in real life it is possible to log on to let anyone you know (and maybe a bunch that you do not) find out precisely how angry you are. In case you are very happy, why don't you alter your status? Just won a prize? Or perhaps upload an image of the child for all to compliment you on.

Is there a disadvantage to this extension of the real life? Obviously there is! In case you have invested any amount of your time on Facebook, you have hid at least half your "friends". You might put up with them completely fine in real life, however the second these people get on Facebook you feel yourself looking to punch all of them in the face(book).

If you want to avoid turning into one of the annoying individuals that winds up on everyone's blocked list, we highly recommend that you just stick to our suggestions (and perhaps promote this post on your Facebook page, doing your part to finish the madness).

1. Send Stupid Gifts

Unless you are giving a real world coupon that can be printed out and traded in for gold bricks, stop sending gifts. They're worthless. No matter if you send a rose or possibly a Mercedes, they all have the same inherent value: nothing! After you send the gifts, it leaves the friend with two choices: he/she can ignore it and risk peeving you off (because you may be somewhat unstable given your penchant for sending fictional gifts), or return the favor (thusly reinforcing your habit of delivering pointless pixels).

2. Mention Your Dog Or Cat All the time

Do you want everybody in your friends list to believe that the high point to your social life is changing the litter box? When you post about your own animals constantly, people will take empathy for you. In case you continue to do it for an extended time period, they will think you're batshit mad and unfriend you, effectively causing you to be alone to fall further in to the mayhem that is your zoo-like apartment.

3. Tag Indiscriminately

The tagging feature? It can be powerful. When you set it up so that tagged pictures appear for friends of friends (or God forbid anyone), you should think real hard about just what you submit and who you tag. Think about tagging an embarrassing photograph like you would think of sending out a Christmas greeting card to all of your friend's friends. Would you send the friend's friends a Christmas card with an image of your shared friend picking his nose? No? Then do not tag those pictures on Facebook or you'll find your self unfriended quicker than you can Tweet a good apology.

4. Complain About Every Ache and Bump

Seriously, when all you ever list as a status is the latest time you've stubbed the toe, gotten a headache, or spent all night trying to force a golf ball-sized kidney stone out of the happy zone, people are certainly not going to want to be near you. Not only are your friends likely to assume that you're a walking freak-bolt-of-lightning-to-the-head-on-a-blue-sky sort of individual, but they will also figure that the only thing you are going to discuss through the night is the inflamed pancreas.

5. Approve Each and every App

The many apps you participate in really accumulate when the rest of us are forced to see them lined up on our walls. Nobody really cares if you just rescued a duck, extended your farm, broke a mafia boss's neck, or had a much loved gold fish pass away. What we do worry about is having to spend 10 mins each and every morning hiding the latest application you found. Eventually, we just stop caring and hide YOU. Do you want your last impression on someone to be a group of application notices posted during the period of many hours of every single day, getting people believe you are the most lonely and/or pathetic person on their list?
