Facebook 15 minutes I'll never get back

Posted by Todd Cochrane on June 6, 2007 6:30 PM

Sorry I understand a lot of people like Facebook. I spent 15 minutes on the website today and well I was not impressed. I really do not understand what people are getting out of that website.

Well, if MySpace never tickled your fancy, there's a chance Facebook would similarly be uninteresting.

Still, in the social network space, you have to admit, Facebook is infinitely cleaner, easier to use, stable, and less obnoxious. Further, the "Facebook Platform" is letting pretty much every other web service plug right in... making for a nice portal for collecting, sharing, and promoting all sorts of things. Flickr, Digg, Del.icio.us...

Actually, come to think of it, there isn't a podcasting app there yet. There should be. Being the first could put you on the (social network) map! Just look what the "Facebook Platform" did for iLike, versus the senior Last.fm.

I thought it was only me who thought Facebook was just Myspace with "bling"... It has achieved alot of attention though... Hype is a wonderful thing:)

I guess it depends on what you think the site is good for. I decided to setup an account a few months back with no real intention of doing anything with it. It's since turned into a big reunion of people i have not seen in years. The experience is similar for other freinds of mine.

So i find it good for that. And other than that, it would probably just be a time waster.

Maybe is just that I've found friends I lost contact with years ago...

In my mind, anyone who's used MySpace at all should really appreciate Facebook's cleaner interface.
