What it is Some enterprising jerk on Facebook came up with this idea of having everyone write notes including 25 things about themselves. And like a juggernaut, it just kept building and building until all your freaking friends did it. As a result of the trend, notes on the site have more than doubled and tags of friends have quintupled.
Why it’s annoying Everyone has 25 interesting things, right? Sure. But it’s interesting when one person does it – it’s like a beautiful piece of art in a sea of minimalism. But when everyone does it, it’s like white noise, background chatter and it makes you want to beat up the nerd who came up with the idea. We’re totally giving that guy a swirlie; it makes us feel manly. source
