The “I Hate Facebook” Club Is Growing

Category: facebook, Tags: , , , , , , ,

Joyce Park, co-founder and CTO of Renkoo (developer of Booze Mail), says all is not well in Facebook Developer Land.


Park complains that many application developers get ahead despite the fact that they violate Facebook’s terms of service.

“So far, [Facebook has] built a system where you can only win by cheating,” Park said at a panel discussion at Web 2.0 Expo, a conference in San Francisco. “They don’t enforce their policies clearly, transparently or consistently . . . And when you try to talk about it with them, they give you this, ‘We’re young, we’re figuring it out’ line, but this is business.”

Although Park was reluctant to name names, she says she’s seen quite a few applications that have copied parts of social graphs to their servers.

And on another note, she thinks a lot of the ads on Facebook are “skanky.”

“They’re these cheesy sexyish ads . . . And who does that help?”

The reason I hate FB is due to the fact that it has made my husband a FB Whore!!! He went from being an awesome family guy who loved to spend quality time with me to a FB junkie. And, the tramps that are “his friends”, they have no class what so ever. It serves no purpose to me!!! I would love to become a member of this club!!!!

I HATE FACE BOOK WORST WEB SITE EVER

I hate facebook because it’s full of shallow people and people who are so full of their own drama! Being a member made me feel depressed and angry; it has also caused broken friendships and discord among people I thought were my friends/family. I am so glad to be rid of it, once and for all!!! F*&k you, facebook!!!!!

Heres what I hate. When you go to log into another site and it says you must log in with your facebook account. Well hello. i dont have a facebook account and dont want one. Why do people find it neccessary to post their whole life on the internet? Have these people never heard of privacy? How about stalkers? Pathetic, heres an idea, pick up the phone and call your friends.

I was urged to join by others and I am finding that I am getting nothing out of it. Reading posts of what mood others are in, what they are doing the next day..etc. Then, there is the “news feed” feature which lists everything all your “friends” have been posting. Why do we want to know that “one is now friends with another”, etc.? Also, apparently by listing “interests”, they will generate continual info about them (like TV shows or musical groups) in the “feed”. All you can do is to go through manually and “delete each one, permanently” to not receive those OR remove them from your “interests”, which defeats the purpose of having things in common with others! Same with “Notifications”.. seems I could not delete all this redundant information. (At another site, as soon as I received something, I could delete it). I think the site is not really designed that well, contrary to its popularity and seems to be designed to the benefit of the creators over its users.

I dislike is that there are seemingly no conversations or forums as I’ve experienced elsewhere. It’s just for sharing photos, playing games, brief commenting.. but not really meaningful interaction, and this is social? It reminds me of saying “Hi, how are you” in passing.. not much deeper than that. Why is any of this enriching? Members choose to become “friends” with hundreds of strangers.. yet we know in “real life” that would not the case, which requires devoting time to developing and maintaining real relationships, based on a mutuality and a commonality, over time.

Another frustration is, since people I know use the site, they will say “If you want to know what is going on with me, go to Facebook”. No phone calls anymore? When I am with family, they are inevitably checking in with the site and spend an incredible amount of time there each week.

Personally, I won’t miss it when I ship out and won’t be wasting time with it. All I care about is keeping involved with people I actually know and care about. Too bad many are not inclined the same way and I think that this “social network” has actually become a detriment to society.

Facebook is a nazi organization. Mark Zuckerberg will worship the Anti-Christ when he comes to power not long from now. It’s really a shame FACEBOOK doesn’t uphold “FEE SPEECH.” As a Messianic Minister I have two strikes against me for so called spamming. Since when is a crime to preach the truth in America?
