No FB allergic, at least, not for somewhat socializing / cyberstaling my
self proclaimed friends.
The group section is just abhorrent. Sure, it works, for quick and
fleeting stuff. But it's virtually unsearchable, everybody gets lost in
the files section (or just plain forget it's there). And organisation is
just, crap.
It's fun though, to see the neverending stream of gearlust I guess (I'm
looking at you, minidisc group :D). Not too sure about the AN1x group
yet though, might be interesting to join, but it's probably hmm, let's
just call it, apprehensive on the usefulness of it all.
I miss things like forums. Searchable, organised, sectioned. Facebook is
ruining more than one thing :) Oh yeah, centralised. Something facebook
isn't.
