Rubber Ducky – a whole bunch of them!

07/30/2009

This is about lots of Rubber Duckies.

Yes, I know, I know, if you can read both the English and Chinese writings, you will be so lost, why do I say “Rubber Ducky” in English and use “Rice Pack/Rice Ball” in Chinese?

Because “A string of Rick Packs” is what we use to describe this following situation I am about to explain in Taiwanese, but for English speakers or someone without the Taiwanese background, it will be hard to understand, so I use “Rubber Ducky” instead.

Here it goes:

If you have been using the very popular, social networking website call “Facebook,” you will know, the whole purpose behind it is to keep friends and families stay connected, as well as get to know your friend’s friend’s cousin’s brother’s mom’s best friend’s daughter.

And you will also know, Facebook is a very big link of “rubber duckies.”

Adding one person on Facebook, often equals adding 10 more other people, like a string of rubber duckies, you pull one out, the rest will follow.

Of course, sometimes we “add a friend” without really interact with him or her, we just want to add someone.

Sooner or later, you will find yourself buried in pile of the duckies, too many of them, you can’t even keep track of.

Well, I thought the whole purpose was to “keep everyone connected”??

But let’s face it, there are so many people on our “Friends List” that we don’t even know how some certain person got on the list in the first place.

Eventually, Facebook become a burden to many people.

Now, my question is:

HOW MANY RUBBER DUCKIES DO YOU HAVE?
