Recently, a number of bloggers have criticized Facebook as a site that is becoming more nuisance than valuable. Those criticisms seems to be aimed at the addition of advertising and the number of member messages hitting their inboxes. Even Time Magazine has decided to notice Facebook. And, I wonder, why all this sudden attention?
- Is this attention due to our interest in social media and the ways we believe it should exist?
- Is it because Facebook is offering advertising opportunities to business?
- Are we upset that other members want to communicate with us by sending us messages?
- Do we believe the freedom for members to share is without structure and, therefore, we want to create rules?
- Could it be that we love Facebook so much that we have its best interests at heart?
This is why I ask: I don't see the problem. Help me understand why so many bloggers recently have been critical of Facebook. If problems do exist, what are they and how can Facebook fix them?
