Being bored when Facebook is becoming boring.

Development during last weeks on my Facebook stream, it is so obvious, whole Facebook is fading away. Rich content is really missing, my stream is just full pointless announcements about who is who's new friend and who 'likes' which commercial or non-commercial services, pages, pointless groups for just showing off your personal frustrations, racism etc. one word: BORING!

Nowadays Facebook is becoming really boring place and people are also showing it off with their lack of imagination status updates or complete inactivity. What it means for the business built around social media services like Facebook... really bad times. Facebook stocks, sinking down. Social media and Facebook? Train already passed by.

There is also really a lot of people who dislike constant changes on Facebook privacy settings. I also dislike it and I have been seriously considering about deleting (not just deactivating) my Facebook account.

If there will come up really interesting alternatives for Facebook, I will probably do it or atleast deactive the use of my Facebook account. Lot of my Facebook friends have already started the great escape, it is obvious, you can see it on the news stream, it is really dry and boring.

What interesting Facebook is offering for me today? Nothing. Changing the channel now.

iPad buzz and fuzz - so is it really worth it all?

iPad went on sale during easter (3.4.2010) and web is full of first user experiences.

Will iPad be something revolutionary or is it just a secondary coming of Cd-rom (boingboing)? Next days and weeks will show it. I guess applications are showing pretty much the direction and atleast myself I will be waiting for multitask-update before buying my own iPad.


Few iPad links to check out:

iPad Applications

Infinite Loop: iPad jailbroken already, using leftover security flaw (term Jailbreak::Wikipedia)

Some Facebook users are just funny.

ReadWriteWeb posted an article about Facebook Connect and now it can be found on Google top search with "Facebook login". Site has got lot of visitors who think ReadWriteWeb is just another Facebook re-design.

Quote from mattstratton.com:

Yes. Here’s what these rocket scientists did:

1) To log into Facebook, instead of going to http://facebook.com in their browser’s address bar (or maybe, heaven forbid, use a bookmark), these Facebook users simply do a Google search for “facebook login” EVERY TIME THEY WANT TO GO ON FACEBOOK.

2) They ended up clicking on the RWW link in the results (which makes little sense, as even though it was a top 5 hit, it was never #1)

3) They simply see the Facebook Connect button and assume that “logs them into teh Facebooks”

4) They log in and think that the ReadWriteWeb site is “the new Facebook”. And get all pissed off.

5) Hilarity ensues.

Hah.
