facebook effect

The situation where an individual displays pictures of themselves online that do not reflect their actual appearance.

This often occurs when the individual manages what pictures others can see.
"Wow, that girl is hot!" (looking at pictures online)

"WTF, you're hideous?! (meeting face-to-face)

Clearly, this is an example of the facebook effect.

Facebook

A website where fake girls can "write on each other's walls" saying how much they "LOVE" each other. In addition to this, Facebook is a place where people post random pictures and status updates that no one gives a shit about anyways. Facebook is also great for annoying teenagers that always add in on other people's wall post conversation, just so that they can maybe get some attention because they feel neglected that no one will comment on their new photo album titled "Panama City Beach with family!" or "My new bass guitar!".
This great website is also a place where you can stalk anyone you want at any given time. As if Myspace wasn't enough...
(Typical teenage status update):

Karen: "OMG I HATE my life!!! Everything sucks.. :("

Thom: uhh..... why would you broadcast this facebook...

(Another status update):

Joe: YES! I just beat Modern Warfare 2 in 4 hours on Veteran!!!

Brad: ... does anyone care?

facebook [tool]

is a guy who constantly changes his Facebook status, usually via cell or an application like Twitter. This is usually in a self-deluded attempt to convince himself that people care what he is doing at all times.

Some common characteristics of many Facebook Tools' profiles:
-interests may include a specific light beer, gaming, "rocking out," etc
-favorite music is often classic rock, light rock, or "anything but country"
-his photos often include ridiculous hand gestures as his signature. If in a frat, this is the hand gesture associated with the frat.
"Gah, I can't look at my newsfeed without <Enter facebook tool's name> popping up with another status change! Who cares that he went to Starbucks for the 4th time today?"

OR:
Said to self: "Oh, really, <Enter facebook tool's name>, you don't feel good after a night of heavy drinking? Who knew???"
