8 Most Narking Things on Facebook

There are many things that is annoying with Facebook. Superpoke led the way for the most useless application created in modern times.
Facebook vs E-Mail
For fuck sake, I hate when people use FB to send out a mass “e-mail” to 100 people, and then each and every one of them starts to reply. Spam on technicality! Who gives a rat’s ass if you want to limit your blog only to people who give you their e-mail addresses so you could send them your password, stop spamming on FB!
Old Friends
You haven’t seen them in YEARS, and vaguely recognize the buggers. Then, they add you as a friend on Facebook and after you accept, you never hear from them at all. WTF. What’s the point in adding? Some retarded game on who could garner the most friends?
Adding People
Stop adding people you don’t know! Didn’t your parents tell you not to add strangers? I’ve been getting loads of friend requests on a daily basis, that I’m starting to see it in a different light, a platform to build on branding your blog. Now, if only FB could introduce something of a TIERED friendship, separate from the good to casual to unknown entities.
Facebook Profile Updates
Some people are just plain dumb. They update their FB like the addicts that they are, in the office, or even worst, at home being sick, but updates the FB every other minute. What’s even worse is that you’ve added your boss to your profile. Are you stupid or just plain bananas?
Wall
FB is synonymous with vanity. Some people like the idea of showing off. If you wanna use the wall, use it wisely, like sending a birthday message, and not use it to chat about everyday stuff. Who gives a witches’ tit if you’re exchanging notes on some shite recipes.
FB Status
I hate people who moan all the time through their FB. “Batman is pissed because Superman wears underwear on the outside and can get away with it”. “Batman misses Robin and wants to relive all the gay times”. For fuck sake, if you wanna moan, get a baseball bat and shove it up your arse. Stop sharing your pain with the rest of us.
Applications
Please stop sending stupid applications! If the applications does not involve showing your character and personality, the only people who wanna play zombie and fighter are a bunch of 40-year old geeks cooked up in their mommy’s home.
Event
If you wanna create and event and invite people that’s fine, but inviting them to “stamp collection gathering” or “photography of butterflies” ain’t cool. You’re in the wrong social platform. Try gofuckyourself.com.

Hates it when people update their status every single minute depicting their entire days routine… e.g. So and So is going to work… So and So is watching TV… So and So is having dinner at…. So and So don’t really cares what So and So is doing!!!

Hi Dan,
yeah I agree, adding your boss is a dumb move as he gets to see what you are really like as opposed to the really hard working, all round good guy you have tried so hard to portray yourself as ; )
Keep blogging mate, I learn all about you!!

I created an account there two months ago, and while its nice to have, there are a lot of stupid pointless applications on it that drive me around the twist. It was fun at first, but the novelty is wearing off, and as you rightly say, many of those crappy applications such as nudge, kiss, send a present, etc are not doing it any favours whatsoever.
When it comes to the Internet, keep it simple.

Aj – Yes, most FB applications are for the lame who do not have a social life outside vampires and other bullshit.
Jac – I knew some smart alec would try to say that. Funny.
|1f34|-|1r3 – Applications are rubbish. Now, whenever I get a useless application, I almost always ignore all invites from that friend. Easier.
sriyany – And you added me today to prove my point of adding people for the sake of building this blog awareness.
cdason – Well, I disagree, the good thing about FB is to build on your social network, and especially getting in touch with long lost friends like I did. There’s still magic!
xin – I’m open to friendship requests, like I said, purely for the blog awareness aspect!
tihtahpah – Yeah, rubbish apps. I think the better apps are the ones that show your characters and personality, and what others perceive you, and not racing some f**ked up characters amongst “friends”.
ro9do – Every minute? Don’t they have TWITTER for that? But yes, those stupid updates are just that, stupid.
Nick Phillips – Stay away from the madness!
sheela – Well, you can manage it better by totally limiting your profile, to only friends. Having said that, there is no guarantee that your friends will bombard you with useless applications!
Julian – Jules, I was a boss too you know so I’m sharing my experience on how dumb some people can be.
As for the good guy part, I adapt to the environment. Hope to see more of your comments in the future! 
Faiez – You didn’t just leave a status update that could end the world as we know it, did you?
Diarmuid – True, the novelty wore off really quickly, simply because the applications are 100% rubbish.
IRTeA – LOL! I bet you are guilty of all of the above, especially those shitty applications, hence your abhorrence for this post. Predictable.
Rainer Yong – Dude, if you read it really carefully, I DID say that I’m starting to see it from another angle. Baca betul betul bah sebelum comment!

haha…i think i’ll be more tolerant…after 3 invites for useless appz, i will block the whole invites from the user..LOL

You are damn right man! I especially hate the old friends, application and event part. What’s the point you have MySpace, Friendster, Hi5, Multiply, Facebook when you never use it? Crap..
Ehem, I do update my FB status everynow and then, it’s sort like mini blogging – Twitter like.
ps: Now.. can I add you of FB? LOL!
bongkersz’s last blog post..Miri, here I come!

Oh, adding someone from your company especially your boss, the person need to check his brain. What he/she is going to do? Poke his boss?

My dear Bong, there’s no harm adding your boss to your FB as long as you’re being a good boy on it..unless your boss is just as much as party boy like yourself..LOL

|1f34|-|1r3 – Wow, you can actually tolerate up to 3 invites to useless apps. I just click on ignore all invites from that friend.
eshark – Yeah, it took some of us a while to get use to it. I loved the concept.
bongkersz – Yeah, I do not have any account except FB. I deleted Friendster already. Yes, you can add me on FB, I’m accepting “friends”.

Hahahaha… good one there! Other annoying stuffs to add on to are the damn superwall where people send like the stupidest stuff – random ridiculous photos, stupid ugly glittering words, yada yada as well as the damn superpoke – Batman gives superman sweets, Batman flies to Timbucktoo with Superman.. Superman takes off Batman’s pants…
Cheers!

kudos to you for actually putting this up. 98% of the internet is nothing but social networking debris. Only 2% of it is real content.
I have Facebook, but I don’t even bother going on it unless my classmates post pictures of class activities in that Facebook group they’ve got. I just don’t understand the point of being a Facebook whore (for lack of a better word).
