Facebook Rant

What the fuck is wrong with facebook? A couple of things have been REALLY pissing me off lately, and of course since no one understands or cares or wants to hear about it -- and because, ultimately none of us can do jack shit about how much facebook SUCKS -- all I can do about it is post a rant on this goddamn worthless blog.

First of all, what the fuck is up with this "News Feed" and "Most Recent" crap? It makes no damn sense whatsoever. Why are there posts on "News Feed" that never appear in "Most Recent" and vice-versa? Why do posts 9 hours old appear ahead of items 3 hours old? Why do posts show up on both? The whole thing is just beyond any comprehension. It was a stupid change they implemented a few months ago and in doing so they fucked up the whole experience. Not to mention all the goddamn clutter now made by all the news of who friended who and who became a fan of what -- all right in the way of everything. Fuck, it would be SO MUCH BETTER the old way, where all that incidental crap that I don't give a shit about was off to the side. There's enough stupid posts to have to weed out from friends, why they'd go and add all that bullshit? And they couldn't put useful bullshit in the middle like when my friends birthdays are, they have to keep that off to the side? What the hell.

Secondly, half the time I post a link to a picture, it shows a thumbnail, the rest of the time nothing. Then sometimes the thumbnail is intermittent, showing up only every so often. Don't know what the fuck is going on, but it seems when my friends post a link to a pic, it shows a thumbnail 100% of the time. Those kind of numbers would indicate pilot error, so does anyone know how the FUCK to thumbnail a picture in a post (status update -- whatever the crap they call it) on facebook? What's the trick? Cos I haven't figured the motherfucker out.

Finally, the facebook iPhone ap just totally sucks ass. I'm fed up with it. The whole thing is a piece of shit. Some posts don't show up, it's missing all kinds of stuff I facebook for in the first place, and finally, the download said "free" but a $1.24 charge showed up on my iTunes receipt. Getting anything done about that would be an exercise in futility, and would cost way more than $1.24 of my time. Troubling thing is that facebook undoubtedly knows this, and has been making millions above and beyond the farmed demographic and trend data they sell to huge companies for untold billions.

Fucking facebook. Riding the trend of wildly popular things that inexplicably suck.
