Damn Facebook spam

March 24, 2008 by Jen

I think I’ve said on this blog before that Facebook is a virus and I only really use it to play Scrabulous. Today I logged into Facebook to clear some of my requests and thought I’d do the ‘their, there, they’re’ test but it won’t let me unlock the results until I spam all my friends with it too. Sod that. I know I got 100%.

And it seems that any application I may choose to install wants me to spam all my friends also. I can’t add a Lil Green Patch request without first sending more off to my friends. I’ll do that in my own time thanks, or not because I don’t like being TOLD what to do.

And those Funwall messages aren’t just for me, they’re for everyone they were sent to. Surely there’s an application that’s user friendly that doesn’t expect me to spam all my friends? Even my Flickr Gallery was giving me grief and not letting me update.

Come on you Facebook application writers – do something not so spammy. Think of the users! If it’s good it will spread anyway.

    I without a doubt agree with your sentiments of Facebook! I’m a Facebook junkie though!

    Enjoyed you blog, and will return!

    I am SO with you on facebook – well, except the Scrabulous thing, as I have lost friends through not remembering I am meant to be playing it!!

    I haven’t got into facebook but I get all the spammy emails from my friends… I delete them sadly.
    I might have to check out Scrabulous though – I am guessing it scrabble ?
