“Welcome to Facebook in German”
This is how facebook greets me this morning:
Welcome to Facebook in German… Now German speakers all over the world can join.
I am not sure if I have the heart to switch it to German though: It just “feels wrong”. And after all, I think it’d result in a horrible mixture of English and German, wouldn’t it?

Yeah, indeed! They even don’t know the difference between “Deutschsprachige” and “Deutsch sprechende”. :/ It looks like that I will never join this community.

Pfffft…where the hell is the comma before the “zu” clause in the very last sentence?

You are right, they are missing a comma. Now if that’s not a sign for the deterioration of mankind, I don’t know what else?

Here’s what I woke up to when I logged in this morning:
DEUTSCHEN FACEBOOK!
Du findest Facebook super, aber alle deine – Freunde sind noch in StudiVZ – Raus aus StudiVZ, rein hier!

That’s funny, man! I do appreciate them competing with StudiVz though — that page is just hideous and hasn’t been improved since it was built (built, or as some say, shamelessly copied from an earlier copy of facebook itself). Seriously, people. If you want a “social network” then at least use one that’s not a cheap copy of another one…

The best social network you will ever get is your real private live. I don’t think that it can be copied by any other system. Fill it with live on your own and enjoy it without hanging in front of computers the whole day. That’s the major problem teens will run into today.
