Facebook - some views
So far Facebook got a rather poor clumsy interface, cluttered views and quite complicated settings especially to novice, partly due to the lack of uniform design standards on the open source platform.
I have muddled through some people's eyecatching pages which are cluttered with numerous apps and load so slowly and jerky. Some apps I have tried always produce errors particularly those requiring intensive database operations such as sale/auction addons. Many apps are in beta stage with inconsistencies, frequent alterations & probably security holes. I suppose we have to be cautious regarding personal information.
But Facebook is brilliant in the sense that it opens to possibilites for exploration of the extent of web apps can achieve in terms of human interaction, the multiplicity of a single platform, integration of individual pursuit and business opportunities etc. It is still evolving and seems to overtake other similar platforms. Let's stay tuned.
