I personally think it&#8217;s a pain in the ass getting so many phone calls for the same reason the same day, everybody has finally seen the beauty of digital messaging, and its awesome that everybody seems to have a facebook account nowadays, they just post to the wall and done deal.<\/li>\n<li>There&#8217;s some clever Facebook app developers, maybe a little to evil, but I received several &#8220;birthday cards&#8221;, which in fact were Facebook apps, I didn&#8217;t bother to open them as soon as the first one said it was an application which needed access to all my contact info and friend info&#8230; bastards.
