Now that would be stressful.
Always wondered about people who program for social media sites. They are programmers a job for introverts but they have to make their program work for a uber extroverts

Basically everyone with an interest in computing security has killed off their FB account, myself included. They can't keep the monopoly on instant messaging and picture sharing forever. I sort of miss the interaction on there but it's not worth the stress that goes with the excess of information it provides. I prefer to see people for the ways they actually behave, and placing those tendencies in a form distorts this perception. As a coder I'm glad they've never looked at my resume, because you're right, I can't imagine living there. I bet they have touchscreens all over the place that only log into Facebook, biometrically, as well as facebook precedence in the building's internet routing. Really quite a disturbing thought.
