I found out its getting harder and harder to use facebook while they add more and more stupid restrictions. - I can't get a like button unless I use a phone or credit card (I really don't understand why do I need to verify I'm a real person to get a stupid like button, wouldn't a simple captcha do it?) - I have to manually accept every new member that joins groups, how ridiculous is that? - The bookmark button has an option called "Share to a group" that never worked. - I need to invite a friend in order to create a new group, the purpose of creating a group is to get people to find it dont you think? Facebook is becoming RAW Shit...there's all there is to it. Maybe that's why they're going to be surpassed by Google+, people are really getting tired of facebook's crap.
google + is even worse right now you cant even do half that stuff but i agree the recent changes suck but they are doing it to cut down on all the spam that pushed everyone off myspace and made them join facebook to get away from it
Yea even yesterday, they have come with a change where newsticker appears on home page. Most of the users don't like this at all. They say the home appears so clumsy with so many stuffs.
Facebook has a lot of issue to work out to make it more user friendly as for everyone, the major problem I see is that Facebook is so focused on social and not realizing the business aspect of it, that they are falling back when it comes to competing with Google.
The problem is just to cut out the crap spam from home pages, pages, applications, etc. The recent look of home page is really buggy and doesn't have good appeal. The best update was that they made recently is they made the facebook top banner stationary.... Google + is a newbie yet
Yes..Now a days There is hell lot of marketors Misusing Facebook for Promoting their websites.Rather Than Genuine Users Merketors only seems active in the facebook with lot fo duplicate profiles.Even Face book Advertising also many are misusing.so like wise there are many misuses rather than perfect usage hance there are more restrictions coming soon too.
I love the changes in Facebook. It somehow minimizes the buttons found in the previous layout... Just like adding reputation to the post...
Nice burn, Randryandola... of course, it doesn't *quite* follow from something being free or optional that you aren't justified in criticizing it. But I know what you mean. My experience as a minimal user of Facebook has been that the changes have required me to do a lot of work just to make sure my profile stays the way I like it, privacy-wise. If they could make their changes in a way that left your profile the way you had it, I'd love that.
I agree 5/1. Leave the basic profile alone and change the rest. I don't rely on anything I don't own. Everything I have points back to what I own - then it doesn't matter what the others do.
I think the only reason they keep changing their user interface and their theme, it’s because they are trying to copy any good social networking site which is getting good traffic. I see that much of the friend option as close friend, acquaintance, family etc comes from Google+. They stop this and be more original than being that they are not.
