Rami got me to use it. It's mildly interesting at times
I'm sure it is, it's just that I've only come across people who use it in an annoying way. My facebook starting page used to be loaded with status updates (via Twitter) from the same people every 5 minutes and until the blocking feature came about it was extremely irritating. I really don't want to know whether the milk just ran out and you have to make a run to the store or whether the lady behind the counter had a mustache which made you go "LOL". That's just annoying.

No that's not really accurate. Facebook is more boring than it is annoying. And chiefly because the people who are using it do so because they are bored. "Cmon, take this movie quiz now" "How similar are you to one of my friends???"

:yawn:

Speaking of annoying, I rarely open facebook anymore for those reasons. If you think twitter is annoying well, facebook..
I know what you mean. You can filter that stuff now. There were a few people that played annoying facebook games like mafia wars or something, if you mouse over it you can block those types of notices. You can also block status updates from people as well.

Well whatever, facebook is totally downhill from what it was at first. A clean and very well designed website. The subsequent redesigns have just messed it up, adding more clutter.

To be honest twitter is not that hard to understand :D
Well sir, you for one were against it, until some unnamed individual convinced you....You now have a different understanding of the service no? Each and every one who tweets, didn't understand it at the beginning and mocked it. But once they got to use it more and more, they understood what its all about, to me its invaluable.

They are dying to take on Twitter. Thats why they had all these redesigns.
