How to Deal With Glitter Comments
One aspect of the “see everything that everyone else does” part of the FriendBurst stream is that I once again see stuff like the picture below, which one member left on another’s page…
HAPPY WEDNESDAY?!?! Are you serious?? Nothing against Wednesdays nor the person who left the comment, but come on! I’m sure he or she meant well, but there is probably nothing more banal than a Wednesday. I mean, at least he or she might have converted it to the often used “Hump Day” which at least has sexual connotations!
It reminded me so much of the early days of MySpace, which I guess is why so many people find this site appealing. I used to get glitter comments like that, but eventually they stopped because I never reciprocated. Some people even got mad at me because they would leave their latest glittery Hello on my page every day, and I never said Hello back. Well, geez, it’s not that I dislike YOU, its just the glitter. Really.
Happy Wednesday? What’s next? Happy afternoon? Happy mid-morning? How about…
Maybe I should just live and let live. Let the glitter comment folks glitter each other. It really shouldn’t bother me. At the same time, just as this site reminds me of the early days of MySpace, I too am reminded of my snarkiness back then.
Perhaps the funniest way to deal with glitter comments is to have a glitter monitor. My friend, David King, the Duke of Uke, was that person early on on MySpace. His nihilistic dissection of glitter was awesome. This had to be the funniest comment I ever got on MySpace:
Or this one…
So beware, you glitterati… You never know what may happen to your glitter comments in the hands of a snarky wit with photoshop skills!
Have a Happy Wednesday everyone!

Actually, the comment issue is one of the things we plan on changing hopefully before the end of the year. On your profile page you have 2 modules, one for ‘Comments’ and the other for ‘Updates’. The plan is to change the Comments so that they don’t show up on the dashboard stream anymore. This should help cut down on the stream and allow people a more private way to communicate with their friends.
I was here, I love glitter comments, now that I know you don’t I’ll try and post at least one a day on your profile. No kudos either? You need to talk to Kevin about that also jijijijijiji
Thanks Joko for addressing this issue. I also have a profile over on My Boomer Place. Strangers over there leave such huge glittering comments that you actually have to scroll for seconds to get to the next comment. It’s as if your watching a freaking parade float go by. In the settings, you can disable html in the comments, but the parade continues…Maybe your solution is the only way to fix that…(hehe)
This is awesome. Oh, it’s going to be a fun winter!
Yes! Just yes!
Seeing the hilarity if your friend’s comments really makes me wish I’d take the time to learn photoshop. Maybe one of these years.
I’m not a comment person either. When I first got on MS, perfect strangers put the most lovely comments on my profile. I didn’t want to be rude, but I didn’t know them and I never got to know any of those ladies. I’m sure they were really nice, but I never had any friends who just sent me greeting cards and never made a personal introduction. All of the friends I have made have been through blogging. Very few bloggers are commentors and that is just fine with me. But now, I might actually have to add a comment to your page. *snicker*
I’m gonna find you some nice glitter comments when I figure out how to do that.
Well.. it cut it off but I am sure you would have wanted to know what it said since it has glitter on it and all…
“Have a happy comment reading time”
Profound… huh?
LOL!
Here go Joko! Right-mouse-button-click and file under “My Pictures” for the next time you get one of those cuties that makes you puke: 🙄
