Good article on facebook, as i dislike to lack of simplicity and all the applications you can add, that make your page mile long and full with duplicate posts, that are worth less. I do understand by constantly changing and updating facebook, it may stop it becoming another my space, but a lot of people i know have lost interest because of the layout changes and functionality, which is no longer simple and user friendly.

Oh My, how much I hate those chain facebook posts, that one with the dog (above) has been posted on my wall about 10 times so far! I have another Facebook hate (and I may be lynched for this comment, I’m not sure…) I have come across several “groups” where it’s basically just a link to an external site. I mean, if a company is going to create a group like that they could at least put some thought into it!

pah, VI blows. emacs for the win!

seriously, though I got the rockstar ringtones post on my wall (and looked at the culprit’s mini-feed it looks like several other of her friends got it). Another step down the slippery fail slope for facebook….

David,

I am NOT adding people I don’t know. If you read my post, I say that I saw these postings on other people’s pages, not my own. I saw them when I went to write on my friends’ walls.

I’m tired of people not reading what I wrote before they comment. Sorry if I sound edgy; this is not the first time I’ve apparently been misunderstood on this topic.

You should notify your friends that they’re accounts have been phished because the adverts only appear from people who’s accounts have been compromised or you’re adding people you don’t really know

@Ciaran: Emphasis on “vaguely”
@Charlie: I thankfully never added any of the really offensive apps but I got to enjoy them on others’ profiles when I’d stop by!
@Lisa: Glad to bring some class to the Chicks blog
@Hannah: thanks!
@Sean: If only he’d come back to check out his new fan club…

Christ people! Leave Bill alone. He’s already mentioned he’s an avid Myspace user. Is it any wonder he comes across like the scrotum of society? Don’t listen to these people Bill – you poor sack of SH@T!

There’s a lot of work for facebook to do (in my opinion) to ensure that they don’t lose their users. Inherently the problem with any social network is that once the neighbourhood goes bad, people start leaving. Great post Jane.

@Bill resorting to personal comments is totally unneccessary, if you disagree with the content of a post provide a constructive arguement and open up a discussion.

WOHA! Get back in the office this morning and what has happend over night. SEO-Chicks has got the first abusive commenter. Wohey, funny that the people that write these kind of comments always stay anonymous, coward.

@ Bill; it’s NEVER EVER OK to call a woman a whore. You are just plain rude and mean. Karma is a bitch, and it will bite you in the ASS!

@ Jane; I’m so sorry you even had to read what this moron wrote. He’s obviously just a childish wanker.You rock, just see how many people are standing up for you =)

@jane I was trying to keep it vaguely polite and things always get out of hand when you mention the UN.
