anti-facebook

Post Reply New Topic

My name is Patrice Vanzini and I'm french (then sorry for my poor english
I plan to create my own software company and one part of my project is to create a vertical social network in order to create a "virtual communauty" based on an existant one (your tennis club, your university,...).
The Software will allow you to manage your activity (tennis training, rank, statistics,... in collaboration with your professor, link studants and their studant office,...) and to communicate with other members (chat, IPCall,...)
By this way, as I have a problem too with confidentiality not offer by facebook, your personnal datas will stay on your own computer (you will keep the possibility to send them to your friends). An other important thing, you will have to register threw the administrator of your communauty (tennis coach,...) in order to avoid anonymous people on your network (informations broadcasted will be limited to your name and your "real" communauty name (eg: Vanzini / Tennis club of britany |Thats all!)).
I would like to have your opinion about this concept...

i have a facebook and have two good friends on there
i like it alot better than myspace because it seems more geard for the grownups and actually meeting someone

I support anti-facebook and MySpace... all they are is a place for you to create a totally NON W3C compliant website that looks like s**t... get a true webhost or get a real blog at blogger.com

BUT ENOUGH OF THE f*****g SOCIALIZATION WEBSITES... PLEASE

When in doubt, ask an autistic. Chances are, they're obsessed with what you need to know.

Autism Speaks will NEVER speak for me

CLASSIC AUTISM

I can't even join Facebook.

I'm not anti-Facebook. At the same time, what's the big deal? I am actually a member myself but never use it. In the main, people's Facebook contacts tend to be people from their school or college. This is where I don't see such a need for things like Facebook, they can contact each other in a multitude of other ways.

The superficiality of it all struck me as well. All Facebook allows you to do is send short messages either in private or on people's walls, so you can't even have as much depth of contact you would by instant messaging or chatting.

What annoys me about Facebook is people can search your name, along with which is your pic assuming you have one (most people do) and see who your contacts are, even if you have a private profile or they aren't a member. So much so that I use a fake name and a picture of a local landmark. Precisely because of things like the job interviewer practice etc. Whose business is it who I talk to on Facebook? My contacts are not local friends. I have other ways of contacting them. My contacts are people I met online. Honestly I wouldn't want people to search and see who my Facebook contacts are, not that they are even talking to me anyway. Privacy for me is king. I just couldn't share my life on the Internet like that like everyone else does. Honestly I am way too private a person for Facebook.

I feel the exact opposite, I love Facebook but hate MySpace. Even though my friend uses it, I refuse to.

I like Facebook and Myspace so no problems with them.

I still don't know how facebook is any different than myspace, and yet people act as if it's so much cooler. Gah. I'm glad I'm not the only person that hates it though. >>;

I have a facebook, but I only have people that I'm in contact with outside of it... Otherwise I dont use it much...

I guess I like it so far it has allowed me to send to messages to girls I "liked" they were not responded to although one I think I gave wrong email (I disabled it after I sent it long story) but it lets me do something and send the one friend I have on their messages so I guess its not so bad for me.

I have been on FB for a year now, it kind of gets to me, I only have a couple of friends on it, the rest are just acquaintances, who I rarely socialize with, I also keep touch with family. FB is a big waste of time, but since finding WP I have become addicted to that

I actually don't mind Facebook, I have one, along with MySpace, and it doesn't really annoy me. Some aspects are tedious, but I just don't use them if so.

I like Facebook. I look at mine almost everyday! I was on Myspace for a while, but I didn't use it much, mostly because I was already on Facebook, so I left it. I also hated how on Myspace you had to rank your friends with at least a top 4, and you couldn't turn that off.
