Facebook: Do you use it? - Page 7

First, I have grown tired of Facebook limitation of 420 characters per wall post. With 420 characters that roughly translates to about 5 to 6 typical length sentences to form a small paragraph. I am a person who likes to dilate his thoughts when writing an "update,blog,status(facebook)." Seriously, why doesn't Facebook just buy out Twitter and merge with it? I know that there seems to be a limitless on how much characters you can use in 1 reply to a wall post on Facebook, however it SUCKS not being able to express more than 420 characters when you starts your own status wall post. I struggled many freaken times to fit my words into a single status update to the point where my English sentence syntax becomes broken and it was hard to make things comprehensible.

Secondly, the reason is due to the cause-effect of reason 1. I want write an entry or status update to express my day and feelings, and I can't stand Facebook limitation. I want to dilate all the feelings into my entries or updates because I want to keep a timeline of my life--a personal biography if you will. I really don't care who reads it or not. All I care is it's my life story and if anyone want to read it, I'd be happy to share or they can just leave my page. The personal biography is so that I can have something to reflect on in the future and see how my life has progess and such and perhaps lessons to take heed as I have from reading 2004-2005 entries. I felt that Facebook does not offer me that.

Third, I do not like the fact that people has to update their status every few bloody hours as if they think Facebook is Twitter. I don't want to see my home page with multiple status updates from a single person every few hours; it just flood the screen.One or two updates a day on Facebook is enough, not a whole mess. I'm not that mean to delete people like that, but I just think it's freaken silly that Facebook is actually another form of Twitter. I joined Facebook a few months back and did not realize it was just another form of Twitter. I could ignore the home page and just pay attention to my profile page(where my personal wall posts and other people's posts on my wall), but then what would be the point of joining Facebook in the first place for? Not to mention it makes less of the fun to not read others' thoughts on their statuses if I just ignored the home page and I don't want to sit there clicking on each person's profile to go directly to their page to check their statuses on their walls. This is not a whining on this small issue, but it is just my experience with Facebook and my opinion.

I'll still continue to log in Facebook to keep in touch with some people, but I won't be really spending too much times on it anymore because of the limitation and issues that I have with it.
