Late in the advent of Web 2.0 came facebook, a social networking site which initially promised to put a big cork on friendster's overloading servers (which are down every other day), is now filled with clutter from everywhere... and everyone.
It's not so bad that you get invited to a party, and get an invitation to a game every so often... but 99 other requests pending? That's insane. It seems like there's either an application or a survey for everything (complete from "were you breast-fed when you were a baby?" to "Do you snore?" LOL). I think the problem is, when everybody's a fan of something, or likes something, or anything in between, there's an application available for you. Let's just keep our interests to ourselves. If not, I bet their servers would be down more than the other Big "F" in the future.
Here are some of facebook's advantages:
- Only people you add as your friends can actually view your profile.
- Not as much spam as friendster
- Online Chat
- A personalized wall-to-wall messaging system
- Texas Hold Em Poker (an entire feature, well, at least for me...)
