    Hehe... It's insecure to care what other people think of your financial status. It's even more insecure to actually care about their financial status, too.

    You mow a person isn't insecure about their financial status when they don't post what they're eating or buying on FB.

    Me? I'm obviously only insecure about my car journo status.... Which is why I only post test drives.

    It's a phase many go through in social networking... me included. "A lot of people are doing it so it's probably politically correct." But as you mature, you find less need to broadcast anything about your life and you realize how annoying it has become.

    But that's on FB and Twitter. What do you guys think of forum threads like "What's your latest gadget?" or "What's the last thing you bought?", wherein you're actually encouraged to show off your crap?

    I have to agree w/ hein. Why are you affected? Re: social media, I'm ok w/ "non-sense" posts since these platforms were created specifically for this purpose. Do you think Twitter, FB, Google+, etc. will thrive if people only post milestone events?

    I don't get affected and in fact, they never fail to make me smile a silly grin and be thankful for being happy about who i am with no qualms if the people next to me have better stuff then i do, or at least pretend that they do so (there will always be bigger fish in the pond). My wife and i even follow and banter each other about the FB posts of one of her schoolmates (who's now in politics) since her endless posting of "pa-sosyal" stuff is really crazy.

    I saw this on FB some time ago:

    Why not take up cudgels for a certain brand with "legendary diesel engines"? :D

    FB social climbers --> unsubscribe.

    RL social climbers --> normally you just ignore. But if they pull off crap that gives you grief, then it's extremely annoying.
