10 Things Wrong With the New Facebook Home Page

1. The new feed is like Twitter. It's everything each of my friends
post, with no way to filter, unless I go through the trouble of
creating sets of lists.

2. I can't delete an item I'm not interested in. I can only delete a
user forever. Why not make it like e-mail? Let me delete items I have
already read.

3. Ads are marked as "HIGHLIGHTS" which seems deceptive.

4. Applications are totally buried.

5. There are too many icons and an overuse of the personal photos.

6. When I click on a person, I'd like to add them to a list of friends
from this page. It's too hard to move somebody into one of these groups.

7. If I have friends who post a lot, they drown out everybody else.

8. Comments take up too much room.

9. What's the difference between "Home" and "Joe Ranft"?

10. What's the difference between "Home" and clicking on the Facebook
logo?

I'm not crazy about this Google St. Patrick's Day Logo. The roots are kind of creepy.

Comments for "Is Amazon's Kindle iPhone app crippled or companion? CFO says companion"

Here's a comment I posted on ZDNet to this article: "Is Amazon's Kindle iPhone app crippled or companion? CFO says companion" I'm tired of this argument that the iPhone will never be good for reading books because you can't take it on the beach and the screen is too small. I read books on my iPhone using Stanza, the most downloaded iPhone application. Stanza has proven the demand for e-books on the iPhone. More people have downloaded it than have bought a Kindle. The only problem with Stanza is the title selection. Ok, so in that rare instance when I'm at the beach, I won't use my iPhone. Here's an image taken right now of what I'm currently reading, and how it looks on the iPhone. It's not such a great biography of Abraham Lincoln. I don't know about you, but I'm not really at the beach enough to drive a decision to buy another device. I'm much more often on the subway, or in the car, or on an airplane, at the airport, etc., and prefer not to have a clunky, specialize device just for reading books. My iPhone does just fine. Your second point, that the screen is too small, is purely subjective. That's what they said I'm sure when books became their current size after scrolls. Amazon's strategy is terribly flawed. They'd be selling more books if they just opened up the Kindle format to whomever wanted to make a device. There's something cool about making the device. Jeff Bezos can show it off to Jon Stewart, but ultimately, Amazon should be in the book selling business, not the hardware business.
