Viral Facebook

Monday 4th February

Fred has compared you to his friends. Would you like to see your ranking?
Yes, please.
You need to add the “Compare People” application in order to do so.
Ok. *add*
*compare compare*
Would you like to see the results?
Yes, please.
You need to add the “Social Profile” application in order to do so.
Gah! Oh ok. *add*

One week later…

The “Social Profile” application has noticed something interesting, click here to see it.
*click*
You must add the “Spark” application in order to do so.
Oh piss off. *click ‘Remove Application’ on Compare People and Social Profile*

GAH!

  1. Or the equally annoying:

    Fred has completed the Blah Blah test, compare yourself to Fred?
    OK
    Do Test over 5-10 minutes
    To see results you must invite 10 or more of your friends to Blah Blah test.
    Remove Application

    I can see why people are leaving facebook.

  2. Indeed, John. I like it as a tool for keeping track of events, and posting photos of the same. Maybe for getting in touch with old friends.

    However, I’m afraid I now pretty much ignore all requests to fight like a pirate, throw a snowball or any of that other gubbins.

  3. That’s the exact reason I stopped using it…..I’m voting it the most annoying thing on the planet right now.

  5. If my bathroom hadn’t collapsed at xmas, I would have spent that free time fervently trying to create the “NOB OFF” application that would not only block application requests, but would send itself to the people who sent you the application requests.

  8. I got to the point with facebook where everyone who kept sending me all these requests to add applications got deleted from my friend list.

    Seems I still have more friends than I think but I never seem to get asked to add applications anymore.

    Sam is right, the silence is lovely.
