After reading about it for a while, this morning when I logged to Facebook, an extra layer in the layout opened, asking me if I wanted to move any of my 49 applications to an extended profile.
I have to say it’s easy and convenient; you decide the applications boxes that you want to keep or store, and your extended profile can be edited any time from your profile page.
How simple??? If only all things online could be this simple. Not wanting to go into a rant about complicated things, but I think Facebook have delivered that first building block of a solution to a problem, whereby if everything was approached in this way it would make the online world one of sheer ease.
I will try to adopt the Facebook “simplicity” model when proposing any online solution!
I got the same message the other day and I thought it was a good idea as well!
But it also made me think – wow, I really do accept everything everybody sends to me on Facebook. I believe this is the “birth” (not entirely new, but it is NEW in any case…) of a different type of Spam. But it was visionary of Facebook to already predict this and provide a tool for the accepting maniac such as me.
