Facebook Preparing For Redesign To Clear Clutter

[emsley]

I know couples who have argued over facebook and myspace.

They get jealous of any attention their partner gets, which by rights is a fair statement if you have been together a while, women love to attention if you join up as a woman (fake profile) and a few decent photos (realistic stuff) apparently they get asked LOADS of insane questions and guys randomly try to pick up on them.

 

Same for guy if you have that look about you I figure..

I hated facebook recently but only casue I split with the EX so I just blocked her and some of her friends, it pisses you off though when they add one of your friends and you see them flirting each other with you in front of you're eyes, seriosuly got my back up one time.

I don't know. I've got a Facebook account, but like my blog, it's severely outdated and does not contain that much info on me. I think it's almost useless and a lesser way to waste time on teh intarwebz than say, visiting a forum, but I suppose it has to be good for something. I'm not much of a photographer, so I just get other people's pictures of me if I need them.

I know Bambi is the girl. Who is the other one?

 

Me..

 

and about the "control issue" well Ryan can testify Im more than slightly a private person. I find the simplest way of maintaining that, is to just have my profile on "Friends only" and the only friends I have on there are people I actually know, not just randoms that took a look at my pic and wanted an add. Easy as that.. If people dont have theirs set to private and add anyone or anything that comes along for "attentions sake" well then they have to get whatever comes along with the attention.. =)

Ya it is like they say you let who know what you want. I make mine public but I could careless. But it is safe you just got to know how to use it.

Mine's also set to friends only. And I strictly only have people I know in real life.

True and everyone uses it for different purposes I just chose to simplify mine

There are no women on the internets.

You can test out the new UI by doing this:

 

So, the new facebook design is fantastic, its going "Live" in June but you can start using it now:

 

1.) Log in to facebook and install the developer application (http://developers.facebook.com/)

Note: this doesn't download anything, it just installs it into your facebook profile.

 

Then, Just use this link to access facebook:

http://www.new.facebook.com/profile.php

 

Its wonderful, NO applications on the profile/wall/information pages,only in special application only pages. No customized profiles. No stupid colors. nothing stupid, only clean as hell
