Moral condemnation by RSS
From Time's "Why Facebook is for Old Fogies":We [the middle-aged] are lazy. We have jobs and children and houses and substance-abuse problems to deal with. At our age, we don't want to do anything. What we want is to hear about other people doing things and then judge them for it. Which is what news feeds are for.Dude, this is a pleasure that knows no ageism. I get plenty of satisfaction judging others in my feed. And yes, if you're reading this, that probably means you.
But once those pictures from last weekend's "summer in February" party come out, you'll be judging me, too. C'est la vie virtual. I still hold that that bikini top was appropriate public attire.

being judgmental is one of my favorite pastimes.
i've only seen one picture from last week. every time i log into facebook, i wait for the notifications of doom that say "so and so tagged you in 35 photos"
its all good. we can judge each other.
