AllFacebook: Does Facebook Have the Right Priorities?

  • Kyle Brady · 2 years ago
    I was in the process of starting a Facebook application for my company's project, but decided to put it on hold until Facebook decides to fix things.

    Having methods, tags, and pages randomly break is not something developers want to deal with... on top of Facebook changing the way things work seemingly at random, and without any thoughts on backward compatibility.

    It may take a few more months until things settle down. In all honesty, the fB Platform should have been tested and debugged for a longer time in private than it apparently was.

    You don't see these problems anywhere else on Facebook. Did they launch Video and then go "oops, hold on" afterwards? Or how about Photos? Or anything else they've created?

    This wasn't so much a feature suggestion as something that they've been working on so that they can eliminate the old spammy notifications system. I think it's a reasonable priority, since the notifications spam has gotten pretty bad.
