The illusion of dedication to a cause through no-commitment awareness groups. Specifically in reference to Facebook groups centered around political issues.
Dave: Man, this genocide in Darfur is terrible. I sure wish I could make a difference.
Jenna: Well, I made a facebook group about it. We have almost one million members!
Dave: That's great! Are you all going to donate money to refugees or something?
Jenna: No, but now those murderers will really know how sad we are!
Dave: Sounds like you're really into your Facebook activism!

When telling a "Facebook fable", you're basically altering the truth. When asked by an old acquaintance or friend what you've been doing for the last few years, you realy don't want to admit that you've accomplished nothing of importance. Rather than telling what you've done, you tell the story the way you would have liked it all to be.
Jenny: Hey mate, it's been ages. How are you? What have you been up to for the last couple of years?
Bob:Hey Jenny. 'Oh, I dunno really, just doing this and that. Did some parachuting, jetskiing, travelled, did a year in the service and got myself a really hot grilfriend. You?
"In fact, Bob shat himself in the plane, refusing to get near the door of the little plane, went to the beach and watched other people on jetskis, left London to spend a day with his grandmother in Manchester, got kicked out of the army after a week 'cause he got high in the parkinglot and made out with a skanky 34-year old at the pub. He's told Jenny a Facebook Fable!"
Kids born after 2004 until now. The Facebook generation is the other half of Generation Z. They don't remember when everything wasnt on Facebook or smartphones not existing.
The Facebook Generation comes after the inbetween generation(the early generation Z's are born in 1996-1999, they remember times before facebook and hd but they don't remember a time before 9/11. They are included in generation z as a sub generation.) They are directly after the mid generation Z's who do remember no Facebook and smartphones not existing vaguely.
Early Generation Z teen: "I remember when facebook didn't exist!"
Generation Y man: "yeah but you learned about 9/11 from a textbook"
Facebook Generation: "I remember the Boston Bombings"

Participating in an extensive deleting session of facebook "friends".
When you get to a certain maturity in your life and decide that it is time to delete "friends" of facebook that are no longer in your life, interest you, have never been your friends in the first place or feel you have moved on from that time.
This is a time in your life when you realise life isn't a popularity game. Instead you would rather be surrounded by people you can truly call your friends and family.
This action can be quite a liberating and empowering experience.
"Had a massive facebook cull last night. I've grown up since then."
"I looked at my news feed last night and thought, 'Who the hell are you again', and went on a massive facebook cull"

1. Acting like a complete douchebag in a way only possible on Facebook. This might involve relatively innocuous things like Facebook stalking or being a Facebook whore, or it might be a little more obnoxious, like telling Friend A that you can't go out on Saturday night and then posting tons of pictures from Friend B's party the next morning.
2. The innate quality of Facebook that inspires this sort of behavior.
"Why does his ex-girlfriend keep writing cute little posts on his wall? Do you think they've still got something going on?"
"Honey, don't worry about it. It's just Facebook fail."

When a person on Facebook becomes fans of literally every little thing they believe that they are associated with. The person shows how hip they are by being fans of everything cool and appearing to be interested in things for attention.
Friend 1: Jeez, Joe is now a fan of getting crunk, sleeping in, the NFL, and like 10 other things.
Friend 2: Wow, Joe has really turned into a facebook fanatic hasn't he?

A painful reminder that you can never get too comfortable or take for granted any social network feature you may have grown accustomed to and / or rely on.
Such changes are generally driven by potential for increased profits, dissatisfaction with being just a simple and reliable social network or expressing a sadistic tendency by allowing you "friends" and employers to easily access anything and everything about your past that you hoped remained buried very far down your wall.
Facebook timeline is an excellent example of Zuckerberg rape.
So I clicked the "learn more" button and now I'm stuck with facebook timeline!
You also got force upgraded by the new gmail? You totally got facebook timlined.
