The Unreliability of Facebook

Now that I've had more time to take in Facebook, I'm not real impressed with it.

It seems like it's broken too often, unreliable, and flaky. I'm not real happy with how Facebook decides what's worthy of your attention, and suggests stuff to poke you into generating activity data for them to exploit. Like they do when they insensitively suggest you interact with people who've died. Tacky. If Facebook was a Facebook user, you'd unfriend them.

The news feeds are sorted and filtered in sporadic, incomprehensible ways; I don't get why I have two feeds on the site that are as different from each other as from the data I get through the Open Stream API.

At least I have all my data. Facebook is a pipe network, not a storage medium.
