NOV

2007

Facebook is one of the many social networking sites out there. In just a few months it has grown from a small unknown site into a powerhouse competing with MySpace.

I'm a college student, and I use Facebook frequently to keep in touch with my friends. However, recently the site has taken a turn for the worse. Don't get me wrong, I still like the site and will still use it, but many of the new features are bad. Every week it's becoming more and more like MySpace, and I joined Facebook to get away from MySpace! The applications are very confusing and annoying, even for a student. There are way too many of them, and it's turning people's pages into a circus. I also hated when the owner opened up the site to everyone, because part of the reason why I joined the site was that it was relatively private and protected from the rest of the world, and now that's gone.

It's definitely not for everyone, but it's easier for older people to use than MySpace. But it's quickly becoming the "go to" place, just like MySpace.

Comments about Dragonfire870’s Review

I agree. The apps are KILLING me, though. I even ended up getting a myspace to complement the facebook stupidity and am finding myself on there more than I am on facebook (especially with the new confusing layout).

I'm glad they opened up a bit, but agree there are too many dumb applications being added and there's the new gathering of info and stats for advertising purposes that is downright disturbing. Still use it. Good review. Welcome to Viewpoints
