I don't mind MBers adding me, but make sure you say who you are because I ignore randoms.

this page liking/fan page shit is such a disaster. and they had to go and make everyone's interests and music and books and all that have pages as well, even if no one has made a page for it, even if only a few, or even NO people like the page already. wtf? it was a much better site when it was simpler.

This really pissed me off the other day when it happened. Next thing I know I go to my profile and it says I liked 50 different things...dammit I didn't need to broadcast it! Had to delete all that ****. Worst thing about that is now you can't just type random stuff in the interests, like a description. It has to be an actual thing/show/band/movie/activity/whatever. Before I had a link to my last.fm profile in the music section, now that can't happen. Thanks for the warning Facebook, when you asked if I wanted to link my items, you didn't bother telling me it would wipe out any other content I had in there.

I'm not as upset as I sound. I got over it, and added more bands. I just deleted the status updates regarding my likes.

It pisses me off too... with the suppression of descriptive text, it's basically ListBook. And I don't like clogging up people's news feeds every time I want to make the smallest change to my profile so I delete the status updates too.

As an aside I think Facebook is one of the worst internet sites ever. A young lad of 14 recently committed suicide after being habitually bullied by 'friends' on the site. Also a girl was killed after being stalked on the site.

A couple of incidents like these are infrequent but it's still an easy way for cowards to intimidate people so FB can go shove it. It's all a stealth plan anyway. It's tantamount to spyware IMO.

Most new mobile phones bought these days have the app built in WTF? Is it a pre requisite to join it whenever you buy new technology? I know it does serve a function but it's not essential at all.

^ I've been hearing on the news about laws being put into place that make cyber-bullying a crime because of these events on social networking sites. They've already begun campaigns to host preventative public service announcements on television channels that kids watch, in an effort to curb bullying behavior.
So at least this is in the spotlight and efforts are being made.
