Facebook is shit. Pure, steaming shit. It's amazing to me that some of the retards I know in real life use Facebook. There is this combined with the fact that an enormous amount of people on the internet CAN use it. I guess the harder a website is to navigate and make sense of, the easier it is to use for people who would die trying to find the "Contact Us" section of a corporate website.
Facebook.com is like a bigger, much harder version of Where's Waldo?, except instead of searching for some douchebag that is really fucking good at hide and seek, you're looking for some good web design. I take that back. You don't know what exactly you're looking for or what exactly there is to do! MySpace (god forbid I use them as an example here) at leasts gives you a list of options at the top of the main page, full of semi-interesting things to do. Facebook obviously couldn't be this easy as they need to create about 3 drop down menus that essentially do nothing for you.
My main problem with Facebook is that I don't know what the fuck I'm supposed to be doing. I get a billion messages from them telling me that my friend has invited me to "Truckers Opening Up a Can of Worms on Sunday x5 With Vampires" and that I should join them in it. What? I'm not on a social networking site to play games. I'm there to socialize within a network. Where do I do this!? Oh wait. Up at the top. Networks. Find a network. Okay okay. So maybe we have some redeeming qualities here... browse for networks. Okay. Let's see if I can find some networks for people who blog (or barely do in my case). Wait. No. I can only search for places, schools, and regions. What the fuck?
The only actual redeeming feature of Facebook is the "Post Secrets" application in which you can anonymously post your secret confessions... or taunt those who do so. It's hilarious what people actually post and since it's all anonymous, you can say whatever the hell you feel like and get away with it. It's great.
But that's besides the point. Look, Facebook. If you want to win me over from MySpace, then hire a website designer and stop letting coked up college dropouts decide how your website should look.
Facebook gets a 0 out of Waldo.
