Hard not to notice an emerald tint on the media, but not everyone's happy someone named "Liv Greene" has popped up on their AOL/Gmail buddy list; people think it's all gone too far. This blogger's viewpoint isn't an isolated one.

Yes, it’s another way that social networking companies are annoying the very users they (supposedly) covet!
