Facebook owns you - Page 5

Cloud · 02-20-2011, 02:46 PM

if anyone on the Cellar is active on FB and interested in being my FB friend, please pm me. I try to keep my flist small, but I'd like a few more friends/real people that are not connected to my work, and more of a variety of people (which we certainly have here).

no sweat if you're not interested!

Now they want your passwords?!?! I think not.

I'm still hating it. I want the f*cking rolling thing to go away. Thats what my newsfeed is for. What purpose does it serve? NONE. Its distracting annoying and takes up space.
Additionally, the default set for every friend is "Most updates" How the hell does it know whether I want to see/read a certain update? The only way to change this (that I've found) is to change it manually for every friend. Well I've got several hundred friends. That friggin ridiculous to expect me to change every one of them. F*ckin F*ckers.
Oh, the other option is "Only important" ... How do they determine what is important.
With the onset of Google+ this was the WORST THING they could have done.

I just came across this interview with the CEO of Spotify
talking about their use of and connection with F@acebook.
It's not too long, and the reporter does a good job of asking questions,
so it's pretty informative.

(For me, it's all the more reason to close my FB account !)

Yeh, those on FB are the commodity being sold. What you let them sell used to be more in YOUR control. They have taken virtually all of it away.

Alt Text: Facebook, Google Battle for Hearts and Minds of Jerks
By Lore Sjöberg September 23, 2011

Facebook has been revamping with the speed and intensity of a traditional revamping master,
in its constant battle to beat out Google for “total number of users pissed off by free services.”

It's not hard to irritate people on a social media site, of course.
The two easiest ways to do it are:
1. Change something.
2. Don’t change anything.
<snip>

Quote:

“Make no mistake,” said the head of Facebook’s Department of Fictional Public Relations.
“We are here to stay.
We won’t rest until every person on earth with an internet connection
is posting to Facebook about how much Facebook sucks.”

Quote:

Google’s Head of Apocryphal Statements countered, saying,
“Google has one thing Facebook doesn’t:
our mantra, ‘Don’t be evil.’
That philosophy guarantees that people will go completely puppy-slappingly berserk
whenever we do anything even slightly dubious.
It’s that resentment that will carry us into the 22nd century.”

While the two companies have the same goal, their approaches are very different.
<snip>

Quote:

Meanwhile, former media darling Twitter is suffering
from widespread lack of discontent among its users,
and the company is left grasping for fresh new ways to irritate consumers.
While service outages and confusing changes kept users enraged and engaged for a while,
Twitter’s recent dust-up with developers barely raised the blogosphere’s blood pressure,
and the microblogging service was forced to discontinue the policy in the face of white-hot indifference.

Recently, FB asked me if I wanted to friend 239 people. Turns out, they are all friends of one of my friends' friends.

And that's only one of the thousands and thousands of things I just don't get about FB.

All in all, ƒukkit.

Gravdigr · 09-25-2011, 02:37 PM

And if Zuckerberg really did steal it, ƒuck him too.

Know what? ƒuck him anyway. Rich bastidge.

infinite monkey · 09-26-2011, 02:31 PM

I haven't been on facebook in a while. I'm afraid to go, now.

But I love this commercial! "This is living." That girl cracks me up.

Lamplighter · 09-26-2011, 02:56 PM

Just logged into my FB account...

There are 30+ screens (I quit scrolling there) of people saying
we have a "1 Mutual Friend" and they want to be my Friend.

I think Classic sent all his Friends over to my account.

TheMercenary · 09-26-2011, 07:00 PM

This is the most important bit of info I just received today! Everyone should be aware!

Quote:

WARNING, PLEASE READ -Tomorrow, Facebook will change its privacy settings to allow Mark Zuckerberg to come into your house while you sleep and eat your brains with a grapefruit spoon. To stop this from happening go to Account> Home Invasion Settings> Cannibalism> Brains, and uncheck the “Tasty” box. Please copy and repost!

Hurry before we have a Zombie invasion! Hurry Dammit!
