Its one horrible website. Why change the simplicity of it? Thats what made it good. Going down the route of bebo imo.

I should go away now and design steal a new website exactly like Facebook circa 2008. I bet it would do better once people realize how **** it has become and liked the older layout better.

FB back then was awful. I only joined it because my mate in Australia had quit bebo, but tbh it was only around late 2009 that Ireland caught up with Facebook (by which time it had become alot more user friendly than Bebo).

Did you know people are getting paid to mention products in their Facebook statuses?

That's as crazy as the discounts at Dave's Furniture Emporium...

Yeah Amazon are good at using Amazon data and how they make suggestions, that's welcome
Amazon with Amazon info, Tesco with Tesco info, no problem at all with that


But no way in hell should facebook be showing what you are buying from other sites, especially since it's friends and family who will be seeing. I understand facebook need advertising and sure so do boards.ie, that's grand but this is a step too far
Christ, imagine you were an insecure teenager and buying LGBT books and that came up on your profile. Some will be strong but others may be destroyed if that got around

I don't have a facebook account but I'm pretty sure its not automatic, you probably have to tick a box a checkout.
Alternativley use a different email address.

Never signed up with bebo or farcebook so don't really know what all the fuss is about but I'm guessing it's along the line of what Google has done since buying YouTube which has resulted in many users closing and/or deleting their accounts in favour of a new site (Zippcast) along the lines of the 'old' style of YT.

Me,I still like to buy my books in a book store,my clothes from a clothes shop etc etc,I like meeting up with friends and talking about whats been happening since last seeing them or just sharing the info we want each other to know about.........and I only use my phone when it rings or if I need to make a call.

Life is easier that way,nice n simple!

p.s. I love seeing the posts where people start with lines like "I have a farcebook account but....." is there a stigma attached to having an account these days?

Oops!, you forgot slap someone across the head 8 times with a hurley when they cut you up.!!!:)
Your old skool,.....i know.

Ironically, this sounds exactly like a cut-and-paste "things were better in the old days" facebook status update. :pac:

40-something year old cousin of mine posts regular updates about enjoying a glass of "vino rouge".
I swear he only does it to annoy me.

Am I the only person in the world who thinks the timeline is a nice, smart little design?

aesthetically yes it is nice, but facebook have drifted away from an actual timeline. This 2 column lark makes finding the post you want somewhat difficult

are the not staggered in the order they were posted? unless you make them larger, taking up the whole page

staggered example if you don't know what i meant
10:47______
______10:30
02:35______

miralize

nope. Posts can be side by side. Even still its not very good for skimming :rolleyes:

They're still ordered by time. I don't see the problem?

Personally, I much prefer timeline. I think it's far better than the old pages. I'm not sure why everyone is whinging about it. But then people seem to do that everytime Facebook makes a change.

Also can we get back on topic please?! I wanna see all the funny statuses not everyone talking about how great they because they don't use facebook

onlyrocknroll

Facebook is like Justin Bieber, hipsters or Jedward. It may be annoying, but its not as bad as the constant whining about it.

It worked because it was simple.

It is now buggy and complicated.

Bebo was buggy and comlicated.

Bebo be dead.

Facebook is becomming bebo and will be next and the next simple online site will destroy it.

Pintrest is going to be the next big thing. Rinse and repeat

Bebo was a blip on the internet, fb will be around for a lot longer than bebo

That's way out of line
I could throw in some AH post about buying porn from amazon but I was more thinking of what about buying books about suicide, depression or self confidence or something very personal.

And facebook and the people on your profile get to see what you bought? :eek:

There's a simple way to avoid it - don't be a stupid pleb who allows companies to access your data and account.

There is a big warning "X company wants to access your account"....so people cannot say they didn't see it.

how many teenage girl does it take to screw in a light bulb ?
two , one to screw in the lightbulb and the other to take 500 pictures and post in on fb

Here, here.

This was from a Facebook friend who went from being annoying, to annoying and pregnant, to an annoying mother all within a year. For anonymity's sake, the unfortunate child's name has been changed to 'Tom'

'Oh no...Tom just found something far more interesting then his duck to play with in the bath'

Why would you do this to your child?

I have seen instances of married couples sharing the one Fb profile as well. Which is pretty damn pathetic.

Yeah I have an old friend who shares his profile with his wife. Generally a nice bloke and I'm sure she's a sweetheart as I've never met her but that's so lame. You know there's no way any of his friends can message him about anything out of sorts. G A Y.

I have a friend who is banned from Facebook because his girlfriend is jealous/insecure and controls his every move. At least having them not in your face is better than the one profile couples or the 2 accounts but one paranoid controller posting sickening insecure very public i love yous on both...

Couples who share one email address and have no other email to be contacted at.

e.g maryandpat@sadmail . com

It's a bit disturbing that. Two people merging into a single identity. Like something from a horror film or smt
