Check out this news article. http://tinyurl.com/37neb8e It sheds some light on Mark Zuckerberg's attitude towards the information we put on Facebook. Real reassuring, considering some of his investors! We really can't bitch, however, because Facebook is free. Facebook can be the biggest pain in the ass for numerous reasons. Slow servers are at the top of my list. If they are going to serve from 230 to 410 million people, depending on which Google search result I click on, they should kick it up a notch or six. Sorting out the display to something I want is a challenge. Finding the right area to change a privacy setting is a bitch. Organizing pictures sucks. Then there is the need to check it 4 or 5 times a day because I might miss something! There is also the psychological side of Facebook. Who do you friend? At some point, you don't know your friend's friend's friends. Do you need to have 2 accounts so your work friends don't co-mingle with your home friends? What if one of your friends is both? Uh-oh, Joe crossed the line. Now everyone at home knows I play online poker! When someone gets un-friended (spellcheck busted me on that!), would they wonder if I hate them? Or I'm just tired of them reposting tons of stuff? If I ignore a friend request, is it because I hate them? Maybe I don't know them. Should I know them? Maybe I don't want them to know that I'm friends with someone they hate. It's enough to send one to the nearest mental health clinic!
Oh, by the way, I posted this on my blog May 13, 2010 at 2:27 pm. Let's see how long it takes for Facebook to get it onto my wall ;)
