If you are not using Facebook already, you probably will be soon. Your “friends” will insist.
It’s by far the best general social networking site and looks great compared with MySpace.
Yet once the novelty wears off and you actually want to use Facebook as an alternative to email, it blows.
Of the many Facebook Sucks posts I’ve read, this is the most succinct in laying out changes needed instantly!
• Changing the meaningless word of “Friend”
• removing the “is” in the status
• creating a fitler of people who are your real friends and provide a feed for that
• enabling a true photo management system like on Flickr. Same thing on video
• Stopping referring me to facebook to read messages and actually sending me my messages
• Letting me remove this confirmation panel each time i add someone as a friend
• letting me add/remove multiple people as friend
• providing knowledge paths between friends (like on linkedin)
• providing true people search
• providing unique URLs for anything
• providing a correct group management and alert system (new members, messages,..)
The ones in bold are particular pet peeves of mine.
There’s no way I can use the photo system in Facebook because it is so inferior to Flickr.
And Facebook had better hurry. The GOOGLE is coming to this party soon. (and I don’t mean crappy Orkut.) Many will be tempted to jump to “GoogleBook”.
I suspect Google did not buy Facebook because it is too gummed up in design. Better to start from scratch with a competitor that works far better.

I agree. At first I was excited about Facebook because you could see when friends had updated their page (Myspace didn’t have this feature but now does). The problem is that the only updates that friends do are these stupid little games and apps that I don’t care about. At least on Myspace, people blog, add photos, or add videos like a real web page. I’m sticking to Myspace.
