I’m using Facebook in the past few months. At first I only accepted friend invitations. Then, I’ve also participated in the different games that I was invited to. I got more serious when I looked for people and invited them to be my friends, and then invited them to play Facebook games with me.
The next (and somewhat risky phase) was installing the Firefox extension for Facebook. Getting short notifications of my Facebook friends’ activities was amusing. These notifications, plus quick links on the toolbar are problematic, since they consume time. Yet these intrusions are still controllable.
My current problem is with the Facebook applications that send emails. It’s enough having notifications when I log on to Facebook. I don’t need an email notification for every semi-automatic invite. It becomes spammy. When I invite people to some application / game in Facebook and final step looks like an email address that is about to be sent, I immediately click on “Forget it”. I send only invitations with inner notifications
There are lots of social networks out there. Some say that there are more communities than people. Facebook is a good social network, since it’s quite user friendly, has a clean style and gets new applications all the time. Another reason for its success is that it has lots of users. Well, the big mass made it successful. The chicken and and the egg I guess…
