Seriously. I don't get it. Do your friends really care what you had for lunch?

1. I've never posted what I had for lunch.
I think it's just mostly for fun and entertainment. Not to be taken too seriously.

2. Hmm.
Do you think it's a flash-in-the-pan idea or one that has some staying power?

3. no idea
a few of my friends and I mess around with it, but mainly because we like to know how stuff works and don't take it seriously

like anything, some people think it's great, some people think it's crap

I just wanted see what the deal was

Not life-altering certainly
