unalone, you have some excellent points. By the tone of your voice, I clearly struck a nerve. I appreciate your constructive comments though. Here's my own response to your comments: "That's because Groups and Pages serve as a sort of utility on Facebook. Yes, they're abused by immensely stupid people. But where SHOULD they go? On the "info" page, which is designed to show the user's INFORMATION on the site? That's what groups and pages ARE. On the "feed" page, which is supposed to show incoming activity? Yes - that's why they ARE displayed on the site when there's activity regarding them." My point on this was that it's now in a different place than before. I recall no blog post or documentation by Facebook pointing out that these were going to be removed. I use them frequently to find out affiliations a user is a part of, and with them having moved, I had to search to find them now. Once users get used to this, I agree - it's in a good place for now. However, they could have provided better documentation to users that this was going to be there. It wasn't in the developer preview until it was just launched, and I argue it wasn't even in there last week, because I looked pretty thoroughly last week when I was preparing this. "1) Facebook is not a site for businesses. It's a site for connecting with people you know. They fucking SAY that when you register. If you're trying to exploit it, you do it AGAINST the system, and them stifling that is a GOOD thing." I beg to differ on this one, and this is part of the problem. Businesses see Facebook as a huge opportunity, and it's part of the reason the 25 and older audience is the fastest-growing audience on Facebook. As Facebook ignores this, businesses, and professionals will also flock away from the site. "You're supposed to use your network affiliation to announce your job. Not groups, and not pages." Facebook has announced they are eventually removing the networks so this won't be the case for long. Facebook also isn't just about "announcing a job". It's also about providing businesses an opportunity to interact in a reasonable and social way with users. Facebook is a tool for both users and businesses. This is how Facebook makes money and I doubt they're going to ignore it. "The changing of the FriendFeed information is because Facebook has suddenly added a lot MORE functionality into their feeds. Apps can show MORE information now, because there are multiple tiers of app distribution." I agree completely, but my point there was that Facebook gave developers little to no time to improve this. This is why you're seeing poor feeds, and poor use of the design by applications. I agree though that this is a bigger opportunity for developers, and over time this should be much better. Oh, and you can call me Jesse. :-)
