The fact that so many people are posting updates an hour after starting their vacation really speaks volumes. It just goes to show, people are making decisions about vacations, events, etc. based on how well it will post on Facebook.

I think that's part of the reason ticket prices have gone through the roof for sporting events. Before, you were only motivated to go to a game based on 1) your desire to see the event live, and 2) your immediate circle of friends and family who you could tell.

Now, all of your outer circle of friends, including the people you went to school with, ex's, etc get to see how well you're living life, how successful you are, etc.

It's really quite annoying and obnoxious.

Having taken a break from social media for about 3 months now, I'm realizing just how evil it is.
