That being said, facebook is the least useful one for me.

And for this value facebook is worth billions and the members, developers, and community that have given them this value receive nothing but rude childish behavior from the facebook “boy” king.

Thursday, May 28 2009 facebook is a closed source content trap that takes from developers, members and their commnites and gives nothing in return … The “Value” of the the facebook “Technology” is far exceeded by the value of the content, development, and engagement time of its members.

I understand facebook is quite good, but then you would need some friends for that.

I just created the official(?) Facebook group for Wordie. Y'all join up now!

A word about linking to Facebook from your wordie profile. The "username" needs to be the ID number that you see at the end of the URL when you are on your Facebook profile page.
(Putting in your real Facebook name or a pseudonym will just result in a click-through to the Facebook Home page, not your profile.)

Five Reasons Why Wordie is Better than Facebook
1. The home page is simple and elegant.
2. The design doesn't randomly change in ways that remove most of the functionality you've come to value.
3. It's not trying to be something it's not (unless, in a spirit of whimsy, you count flickr).
4. It's able to waste my time for longer while leaving me with the vague feeling that I might have been improving my mind.
5. Did I mention that the design doesn't change?

I love both Wordie and Facebook almost equally (Wordie wins by a little bit).
I use facebook to indulge my teenage girl tendencies, and wordie to let out the logophile within. They complement each other and I would go insane without either one of them.

6) There is no way of adding someone as a friend, and reading their posts only. You are therefore exposed to points of view that are not necessarily the same as yours.

I would have taken plethora's stance until the recent redesign of facebook – at which point it ceased to indulge my fantasies of any kind. Very sad.

It is! It is all Facebook's fault! Why, just yesterday, when I wasn't feeling well and a last-minute deadline loomed, I handily blamed both on Facebook. :-)

Is there a verb for deleting someone you never met from your friend list? I want there to be a verb. I don't want it to be unfriend.

I like flush. It's harsh, but, like, what were they doing there in the first place, right?

Flush might work. Hmm. "He kept making rude comments on my status updates, so I flushed him." Yeah.

I have never had to make use of such a verb: I don't add people I don't know on Facebook.
April 3, 2009
chained_bear commented on the word facebook
I don't believe that not having met a person in real life necessarily means they cannot be a friend (and therefore a Facebook friend). I added people I know only from Wordie, and I never met them in real life. Also other friends from afar whom I know from extensive electronic communication. If I'd drawn the line at not "friending" someone I'd never met in real life, I never would have met my S.O. *shrugs* Not a policy for everyone, of course, but there it is.

I agree--though I've had to UnFace people on occasion.
