I have never been its fan. But I know there are people addicted to it and also this is the only site where everyone from a family can be found. Now the site is losing traffic. According to product cycle theory, it is something experienced by majority of the brands. I do have a Facebook. One thing I dislike about is its invitation feature. My friends keep doing this with me because of a game they are playing or some scheme they joined. Once just one friend sent me 51 invitation messages to join something that I don't remember.

Hmmm.. What I dislike about Facebook? Interesting question...well when they update, i do get used to the stuff but after awhile i miss the old stuff on facebook. Their message thing on facebook is new. they don't have section on the left hand side, where it used to say inbox, sent,..but they should have also a trash list of message or section called "spam" messages. Also when you log on facebook, i think they changed the chat thing. it used to be different before and now its kinda more different. I dunno. do you notice different on the chat box thing? i also noticed the scrolling status feeds on the right hand side.. I just had some facebook depression just some thoughts after something happened. I dislike about facebook is that I can dislike the way users would block or delete me for no good reason but i guess their choice. You know I had an old profile that i deactivated and made a new profile. I'm trying to get all my friends from old profile to add me to this new profile. however, some where friends or accepted me on my new profile and then after awhile i found them gone and that they deleted me on my new profile. I wanted to keep in touch with family, relatives, cousins...I have had 2 or 3 relatives/cousin that either blocked/deleted me or blocked their wall from me only / aka: limit me from their wall. I found out that i was the only one being limited. What sucks is that i tried to add my cousin on facebook on my new profile? guess what she hasn't added me yet. but she added some friends that we had both in common. Also from my old profile, she blocked her wall from me. Now I know what cousins as well as regular non relatives do to block certain people from their wall. I think i was the only person from my cousins facebook being blocked from posting wall. I also feel she's too picky as well as other things... I know friend or anyone can block/delete me or limit me (it depends how i feel), but strange for a family relatives to do that to me?? I know we all have to becareful wherever we meet facebook or anywhere and who we associate with.. Another thing I dislike about facebook, can you see a list of pending requests or detect who denies you or blocks you or deletes you as a friend? I think i may have more, but oh wells. lol

I am so sorry to hear that. I can relate to that. One of my friends from my middle school did that same thing with me, but then added me back and I am not sure why. But what you went through is more painful. It should hurt more when it is a relative doing it. Did you try messaging them about it?

what I hate about it is the automatic post on wall feature of some applications and another one is I can't disable the tagging of pics on my account.

Hi chachie04, you can delete the posts on your wall from the applications. That's what I do whenever some applications post on my wall. And I know it's tiring to do but you can just untag the photos if you don't want them.

Oh they have automatic post on wall features for some applications? I did not know about it. But tagging is definitely a problem. They build up spam like messages coming from those who are commenting. I dislike getting them in my email account's inbox.

I think the last poster really said it so well that I'm unable to add very much. Facebook keeps changing the site, but doesn't fix what is wrong. My friends list does a lot of complaining about the new chat. I don't use chat and wish Facebook would go back to the old chat.

Well, I agree with you! I hate it when friends invite me for a game, I don't even play Facebook games. The game invitations accumulates up to 50+ and it's just disturbs me to reject them all. I don't have any complain about Facebook other than that.

Hey there! i see you don't really play games on facebook. Sorry you get all those mass request. I think for those who don't like play games, should block those applications.

I actually did, so now there's no problem about it anymore. Another thing I don't like about Facebook is the applications. I know some people likes Applications, I just don't like it.

I never played the games either. And I am not sure why they are so addictive for some people. I get them in newsfeed also. It seems some people play them all day.

Hi divineathena, I like FB and its craziness among us. I never like the option of adding family members list which is not necessary. When i find my friends adding their entire family, though its good to see, but i feel its like reading a biography. LOL. Cheers!

I totally understand. But it seems that Facebook is clean for which family members, both young and old like to join it. And of course, they expect their children and relatives to add. I never allowed my own family members and relatives to add me though.
