I want a better FaceBook: communications
The way Facebook forces us to communicate with people just sucks. I either get an email from Facebook, telling me that I’ve a message and giving me a link to facebook’s site. Or I get an email with the actual message, but I can’t reply to it, because the From: address is set to garbage.
Obviously Facebook wants you to login and use their tools to communicate with people (and meanwhile sell you something). But I don’t want another set of tools - I already have my favorite mail program that I’m most familiar with.
At the moment I simply refuse replying to any messages coming that way and tell my friends to not message me via Facebook. Want my response - email me directly.
And that’s too bad. Facebook and other social networks could become a transparent layer connecting people and let end users choose their medium of communication, rather than forcing everybody to use their website.
At the moment I stay off Facebook, until they wake up and realize that they could do much better than they do now.
