Everytime I log on to facebook I got this headache. With all that feeds, status updates, advertisements sandwiched in between those and photo tags all coming in at once on the front page and random people trying to add me as friends, and what, like 723,829 application requests. No, okay, I’m not going to add a million application on my account, cuz that’s ridiculous. FB doesn’t know what I like and what I want to see. There is no hierarchy in terms of the layout, all the content just blasted at you when you log in, it makes your eyeballs turn in all directions. Why can’t they highlight the important ones and just ditch the unnecessary things from the site. It’s like a zoo in there. and what’s with the status update text field box on the top right corner? I always thought that was my search box on my browser’s toolbar. I missed the days when facebook connected me with my friends and colleagues whom I don’t get to see everyday. Now they are kinda lost in all the feeds and rubbish that swarms my frontpage.
This reminds me of supermalls and huge department stores who tries to sell too much and everything. They try to fill every space they have with goods, even the ones that no one wants. And the good stuff gets lost in the midst of all that random stuff. and the good stuff don’t seem special anymore. That’s why some people turn to boutique stores, who focus on what they do best and just be good at that. Like Twitter. Because the huge department stores are making people feel numb.
But you know what, I think Fb will come around. They have to.
