Facebook loses the “is”

December 13, 2007 Adam Walker Cleaveland

Facebook

Adam is…happy, but confused. I joined the Facebook group that wanted Facebook to get rid of the “is” in their Status Updates. It felt so confining, so restricting

Well, we got what we asked for. And now…now I don’t know what to do. I feel like it’s going to take me twice as long to update this status line now. And now, after joining that Facebook group, I feel like I’ll be a traitor if I use “is” – so that just adds even more pressure to trying to be creative and come up with other verbs…

So now I’m not so sure I want it gone. Does it give me more freedom? Sure it does. Maybe too much. Now I might just have to write the “is” in myself each time. Sad day.

What does everyone else think about the loss of the Facebook “is”?
