All about social software and networks
29 Feb
By now everyone has some issue or another with Facebook. I think applications are great but Facebook is killing me with kindness. But this isn’t my big issue, or really issues since I have two that I just can’t get over.
First, we need levels of friendship. Some people I am acquainted with others I am friends with. Acquaintances want to follow me and sometimes I want to follow them. But friends I want to keep in touch with much better than an acquaintance. Give me a variety to choose from and allow me to tweak how much I want to follow the person.
Second, search. Didn’t we figure this out in the 90’s? If I search for George Jetson I don’t want to wade through a list of George Jone’s. I want search to be relevant not filled with irrelevant people.
I guess I have these issues with nearly every social network. Why does simple stuff like this seem so obvious, yet so ignored?
