Obviously by friend I mean someone I met once who through the wonders of facebook keeps me up to date of her exciting life.

She sounds delightful!

tvercetti · 17-04-2012 7:05pm

This girl personifies everything that is wrong with facebook. Here are her status updates from the past 2 weeks.

Yes all that from the past 2 weeks.

More or less less is more. Surprised she has time to sip on her wine with that amount of status updates.

<Blahblahblah> -Lord give me patients!!!

I wonder if they'll be surprised when the Lord sends a ton of sick people to their door :P

(I've cut out the first half, but it was just moaning about someone)

Sappa · 17-04-2012 11:57pm

Do you bother with it anymore or are you addicted.
I check it the odd time now to use the chat thingy but other than that for me it's gotten ridiculous with the amount of marketing and advertising.

humberklog · 18-04-2012 12:00am

I use it to catch up on marketing and advertising. I find the chat thingy has got ridiculous.

MrStuffins · 18-04-2012 12:00am

How long before a post where someone is too cool for Facebook?

Kylo Ren · 18-04-2012 12:00am

I'm too cool for Facebook.

girl2 · 18-04-2012 12:06am

Facebook is the ruination of society. And so says all of me.

castletownman · 18-04-2012 12:08am

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...

Temptamperu · 18-04-2012 12:09am

Facebook is like ... omg ... so totally ... 2008

all the cool chicks are on IRC now

A grandmother on her deathbed tells her grandchild, "I want to leave you my farm. Everything - the buildings, the land, the livestock, the farmhouse and €5 million in cash."

The grandchild is absolutely gobsmacked. She always thought that her grandma secretly hated her, but now she was going to leave her a fortune.

"Oh grandma, you are SO generous! I didn't even know you had a farm. Where is it?"

And with her last breath, Grandma whispers, "On Facebook..."

Where To · 18-04-2012 12:16am

I use it solely for spamming . . . .

Damn thinking out loud again:mad:

davet82 · 18-04-2012 12:16am

WTF is facebook?

Scorpion Sting · 18-04-2012 12:19am

I hardly ever go on it anymore. Not too pleased about this change to Timeline but I suppose I'll get used to it. The old profile looks much less complicated though, don't know why they feel the need to bring all these new features in.

Mr. Incognito · 18-04-2012 12:21am

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

Pretty much this, most of the new features don't work and now some of the old features are buggy and glitchy.

As soon as people find an easier way to communicate and stalk their friends it'll be a thing of the past.

mikemac1 · 18-04-2012 12:56am

I have an account but the only reason I signed up was to to check a sports team fan page

I have one friend and that's the sister and I've never invited anyone
I have seventeen friend requests and I don't even know who half of them are. Friends of friends, never met them in my life

I have one like and that's a baseball player and I selected like on the baseball site just to test it
Fed through to facebook, I was very impressed

I had a look at timeline for some people and it's horrendously difficult to follow and look at.
With all the engineers in facebook surely they could have kept it simple

Simple and clean and crisp is always best.

skinny90 · 18-04-2012 1:00am

the worst are the apps to do stuff...every time i sign in on my home page i get greated with alota sh*t such as "tom watched home and away eposide 2342 on dailymotion"....
the problem with facebook at the minute is more and more orgainisations (mainly business's/groups) are trying to gain peoples info and as its so easy to do it.
I remember a got an update stating "martin bought nike football boots of amazon" apparently he clicked on some agreement on amazon that it would upload on his facebook all linked via one email address...can you imagine if he had bought something a little more personal...
Data protection laws are completelty outdated when it comes social surveillance of personal information and facebook is your prime example

guitarzero · 18-04-2012 1:00am

Anyone on Google Plus?....us....us.....us....*fading echo*

Yakult · 18-04-2012 1:02am

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.

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:

A_Sober_Paddy · 18-04-2012 1:11am

Was very close to deleting my account a few months back...

But since then I've joined a cycling club who do most of their stuff through Facebook so its only used to let them know if I'm heading on the club spin, club nights and/or cycling advice or help...

Also a friend is heading back to Oz, so it will be useful for keeping in touch with him, once his over there again...

So for those two reason's I'll still be on Facebook, but its fairly sh!te to be honest, and very intrusive. I don't know how many apps, pages and other crap I've unliked, removed and whatnot in the last week, in an effort to have some level of privacy...

Is Google+ different to Facebook, or is just the same old crap packaged up a little differently?

patwicklow · 18-04-2012 1:16am

FB is total rubbish next there will be a way so when you have a sh!te it will post to your page stating that you did, maybe even a smell button who knows
best to be avoided!!

im deadly serious go on amazon and see if their still at it.i have just done a simple browse and it comes up, tho it says amazon will not share purchase info with facebook...i know it defo came up because i asked about it
theirs nice ways of marketing such as tescos CRM as its quite personal ie between tesco and you...even amazon do it quite well ie when you buy a book it will say "other people who bought this book also bought this and this"

mikemac1 · 18-04-2012 1:40am

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

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?

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).

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.

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?

miralize · 18-04-2012 10:48am

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 · 18-04-2012 11:31am

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 · 18-04-2012 12:32pm

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

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.

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?
