Facebook Kills Networks

Started by Nick O'Neill · 10 months ago

This morning Facebook appeared to have killed the networks link at the top of the site. The only links now are for your profile, friends and inbox. The only way to access network pages now is via the links on your profile. This shows a shift of Facebook being used as [...] ... Continue reading »

    Surprising move! I thought they were going to incorporate the new Friend List under Networks. Guess not...

    P.S. Check your inbox :)

    Network was really more a misnomer in the first place...

    Network pages have lost their value big time. None of the people I know spend much time on the network pages.
    203 unread messages, that is insane!

    I loved the Networks but then quickly saw a lot of people (me included) being shy about utilizing it. Only spammers and people nobody care for post on the network walls. I thought it had potential. Guess not. It did seem useful during the Virginia Tech tragedy in which the VT network was used as a place for support.

    I was using this a lot, to connect with my colleagues based in different countries.
    I think it's awful of Facebook of not asking for its users' opinion before doing something like this.

    Besides, it's a social NETWORK. Isn't it meant to socialise externally as well as with the people you already know?

    It puzzles me.

    I used to use the network tab every now and then... As I came to use it today, I noticed it was gone!

    "Grouping" people by networks was very helpful and simply awesome. It was a quick way to find locals and to be within the range of locals without the need to add them and such...

    Oh well... The lack of the tab makes facebook feel more "open." I will surely miss the tab.

    By the way, my networks listed in the profile do not link anywhere. They're dead text! So... I'm using google-like keywording to find the people I'm looking for...
    Names aren't uncommon, even the combination of first name and last name doesn't help all the time. In regards of facebook now I will have to go an extra step to pinpoint the people I meant to look for.

    The way facebook has grown... Well, it's starting to feel more Myspace-like. I hope facebook's essence doesn't disperse until the so-loved social network becomes a generic nothing.
