FACEBOOK is to replace users’ boring posts with exciting fictional versions.
After complaints that the site had become mired in dull personal details, Mark Zuckerberg announced that his team would delete users’ posts in favour of making it all up.
Zuckerberg said: What I originally conceived as a vibrant online community has become a virtual landfill full of cake pictures and users saying Hi.
Under the new system, your friend Sally will no longer share boring pictures of her meal with a bunch of people you dont know. Why? Because yesterday she had her leg bitten off by a shark.
Or perhaps your friend Mike insists on telling everyone about business conferences hes attended. This tedious content will be replaced by the more interesting news that hes in a sexual relationship with his own dad.
Facebook will use the latest technology to illustrate these events that did not happen, for example by generating completely convincing photos taken by your auntie on her space cruise to Saturn.”
Zuckerberg added that a beta test of what he calls Facebook But Interesting 1.0 had received positive feedback from substantially less-bored users.
Tester Stephen Malley said: I really struggled to think of interesting things to put on Facebook. But thats not a problem now that Im in the SAS and shagging Rihanna.
