i have been unhappy with how facebook.com have turned out for a while now. i like simplicity. not that i want everything to be one dimensional.. but i believe everything could be simplified. even sophistication can at the same time be simple. well actually.. at least look simple.
facebook used to be simple and efficient. less graphics.. less words.. simpler functions. they added functions.. thats understandable. they added more functions.. well a little bit too much now. then they made it look complicated.. filled with boxes everywhere without letting user to be able to simplify things.. later they kinda made it look simple again (yays!). but they let users to make stupid things.. freely
worst decision ever. now we have way beyond stupid quizzes, games, invites and reinvites and spamvites bugging us to join those beyond stupid quizzes and games and groups. OMG
welcome to Procrastinopia!
now we hear a lot of disturbing news related to facebook nowadays. identity theft. careers ruined. kids cyber-bullied (dem n00bs).. that have lead to suicides even! and the list goes on. but one will say 'hey facebook is not intended for those stuff.. those people just don't know how to use facebook properly.'. yeah.. tell that to the people who have been negatively effected because of the rise of facebook.
we are human.. and human learn.. human use.. human overuse.. human abuse.
but yes.. the idea of facebook is a brilliant one. suddenly today.. after almost a year loathing facebook (but still actively using it.. /sigh) some of my friends (not those virtual 'friends' that i dont even know) posted old photos from high school.. and we all kinda commented and reminisce about the old times.
there is still hope for facebook after all ^^
yeah. instead of the idea of having to make profile publicly visible to anyone (or certain people which you may choose on setting)
ReplyDeleteI hate the idea of having to put email and can't make it invisible to others :'(
*stupid fb..yeah..sometimes*
yeah stupid fb bila aku ni asyik dapat mcm2 invitation/request
ReplyDeleteharap maaf la kekawan, aku mmg ignore je semua accept reqest utk add new frens, yg tu aku approve..lelain sungguh menyemak hidup ku
* sometimes layan jugak quizes tp never ever invite people, buat sendiri n publish sendiri sudah lah..huhuhuh
@s.c.h.u.l.t facebook does make some pretty weird decision huh? maybe they got confused with their own functions.
ReplyDelete@Bitter Sweet haha quizzes. some quizzes are so lame they should just change the name to quiz-mari-buang-masa-anda-untuk-dapat-jawapan-yg-langsung-tak-berkaitan
and im surprised how many people still do those kinds of quizzes
quiz-buang-masa tu satu hal, yg lagi hangin bila ada je la yg duk send invitation suh buat jugak..gggrrr..pepandai la skip, ko sorang buat sudah lah kan
ReplyDelete*emo laks :p

ReplyDeletedah tak bukak dah facebook.com sejak diorang intro lite version tu. tp email notifications still redirect ke main page so still tak best gak
I am not active in facebook for long.

Anyway, I do agree with you.
