REVIEW: Freaky Facebook

This is why we've gone to Google+ OK, honestly, even if G+ was not launched, we'd still be rather hanging out somewhere else, namely LiveJournal n' Twitter. Google+ is just an addition to our new place to stay online. Dislike GETTING AROUND • Viewing news feed already lags, no matter if we already categorized them by groups. Browsers that suffer getting the "no respond" or "crash" issue often, are Internet Explorer and Opera. Google Chrome seems to handle it better, they are stable. (+1 for Google! =P) • Notifications don't work countless times. We actually manually check out things around. There is no end to this! PROFILE • Man, do we hate the WALL. Unlike MySpace and Friendster where any submissions for comments or testimonials can be selected for pending or not, Facebook just allows itself and people to be rude to users' territory. You have NO option to monitor a post whether it is safe from threats or has appropriate content or not before approval. I guess it's no wonder it's set this way. It just makes users keep checking their account, to be on guard to delete or not to delete a post by someone. (a way to cheat being listed as the site where most ppl spent online on. brains get smart but heads get dumb) It's like if you have a wall, prepare to get rape and you can't complain about it. Worst is, there are ppl who complain to users who choose to not have a wall, accusing them to be unfriendly. So if ppl choose to protect themselves will be called rude. What? • Know the 10 friends listed at the sidebar? Where they say that it shows which friends of yours visited your wall most? (or interacted with them most? we don't know) Well, don't fall for that. We haven't even visited anyone's wall (or interacted with anyone) for so long, and when we only go to visit it ONCE, they already put us under their list. This is very misleading. Especially if ppl thinks that you're being stalkish, when the real stalkers won't even be in the list! POSTING • There is a word count limit. We mean, it's fine if they wanna have it that way, but look at Twitter, at least they stated the number and auto-counts for you above the text field so you know how much words you are typing and if you are off the limit. Facebook only warns you AFTER you post, telling you exceeded with this amount, when the limit amount is so. So not only do you have to close the warning box, you don't freakin' know how much to edit, having to keep pressing the share button, hoping you don't need to get told off again, but realized you have to attempt this for some time before being able to successfully post your stuff. It's like mocking us. • The frustration of not knowing if your video link works or can even be posted successfully to Facebook, until you try it. There are times we wanted to share a YouTube video (which is just a music video), and Facebook warned us that they cannot publish it, because ppl reported that the link is dangerous, when it is actually not! Only if we insist to keep on posting the same link, they then take you to a survey for you to fill in on why you think the link is otherwise to you. UNEXPLAINED • Facebook automatically deletes our friends without our knowledge. Now what will happen if friends misunderstand each other just because of this error? It's a good thing that they deleted our real friends, as we never doubted each other and just re-add each other once we manually found out about it, knowing it was their problem, not ours. You must be wondering if we have so many bad experience with Facebook, why do we still have it? Simple. It's because currently, many friends are there. Even though we're not comfortable with it, even though we've gone thru obstacles of it, but we are willing to go there, is because for the sake of people. But since Google+ is coming in to the picture, it's now our turn to see if others would take the effort to visit us at our platform. Oh we're not entirely done yet with our feedback for Facebook. =P We will be back, editing this whenever we're free. How many of you here faced the same problems or encounters as us? Tell us your Facebook experience! At the meantime, see you at Google+ ! ▼ Similar Facebook victim? Push the +1 button! Tweet Previous Entry - Review: We ♥ GOOGLE+. Official RE-MEMBER² Blog
