seriously it is not very intuitive, you cant really do much. no forum, no chat.

on myspace at least people have big profiles and can post stuff, on Facebook you first have to become friends.

i really dont get why this got so big!?

problem is it makes me feel trapped. like i cant find or do anything, it makes me want to get out of their.

and how do you find all the applications?

how the hell can some application on facebook be valued to 500K$/month whih i read somewhere.



I know what you mean. When I use the interwebs I want to post links and click on really tiny triangles. Sometimes I like typing how I feel about links into boxes. I can't figure out why people would use Facebook. I mean, I guess you can post links and type comments into boxes. All those photos and friends make it really confusing! I also don't see any tiny triangles to click on when I am on Facebook.


Facebook is an older crowd of mostly college graduates. Thus higher income and more desirable to marketers. They do a good job of helping you find friends of a friend and reconnect with high school and college friends. Games like scrabolous give the bored office workers something to do.


It's fun when all your friends are there.
