What do we dislike about Facebook

Post Reply New Topic

The user interface feels slow and I'm not very fund over all the trust many people have put into Facebook.

The Facebook application is built to be easy to use at the cost of low security settings, in my opinion.

I don't trust the security of Facebook.

Having to go through 3 f*****g steps to see images I could easily search for on google images or failbook!

what i like in facebook is now that i joined due to total boredom at work, i seem "cooler" to my "friends".
i send those typical messages to them (hi hun! how are you? good to have the sun back! bla bla bla),
i don't mean any of it but it makes me seem more social.
i noticed people send that kind of meaningless goody-nicy messages, so i emulate, the way i always do to "fit in".

Why? Did he have access to your computer?
Did he crack('hack') your computers security, got your username and password and then read all your personal information?

Of the most basic things though is to have a secure password. One that one can't find
in a dictionary.
One example of a "good" password is for example "a%4Bu".
I personally choose passwords which I can't remember and which I have to lookup my own
notes to read. Something like "g*8E(.@3J#z".
Now if he has access to your personal computer try to make your web browser not remember the password, and you might note down the password on a piece of paper that you might keep somewhere safe.
I wrote too much I think.

This is a seemingly dead-ish thread, but I want to post whoopssss....

I actually like facebook more than I thought I would. I've learned how to hide all the things I don't want other people to see, and ignore all requests for silly things.
I like it because it's an easier way to communicate with multiple people at once with the thread/inbox thing. It's like a forum style inbox system, which I think is much better, because everyone can see what everyone else has written, so there's no confusion like with email (and no Cc: and all that stuff).
I guess it's sort of like a less intense google wave thing. That's actually what wave reminded me of...

So I just use facebook to post interesting links (though lately I've been using twitter for that instead), and to plan/share info with my friends. We have a thread with like 4-5 people in it and just update that if we want to contact everyone at once.

I don't like facebook because everyone can see how many friends I've got, and....um.....i don't have many friends. And I wouldn't make many friends on it either, because I haven't put anything down on my profile, and people on facebook aren't going to want to be interested in someone who has a blank page. And I can't even get a picture of myself on there because in every photo I'm always putting a hidious face. Either my eyes are glowing red or the light of the camera catches my teeth so it makes them stand out the most....I can't let the world see that!

Number of friends I've got (NOT including my collegues at work): 4.

Sometimes, Facebook won't let me update my status, especially if it is a long one. Also, I once had to click confirm twice to accept a friend request.
