Jon is thinking about how post Facebook status updates one finds oneself seeing oneself in the third person

Posted by jontee on 11 January 2008

Cycling yesterday and i found myself thinking ‘Jon is hoping that he doesn’t get caught in the rain’.

Hmm.. I thought. Facebook status update. Except I very rarely update my status and in fact increasingly rarely even log into Facebook. Too busy!

But I wonder about this tendency that seems to have remained of seeing oneself in the third person, communicated to others.

I did like hearing what other people- especially friends I see less often- were doing. The minutiae of everyday life. The normally private, mundane moments that we all share, but normally don’t share with each other.

Still. I don’t want to go back to wasting time on Facebook!

Anyone else had a similar experience?
