This is right actually. Even though Facebook has massive appeal it's actually extremely limiting in scope. You have to do things "Their" way. Hell, you can't even do something as ridiculously basic as change your page colour! It's claustrophobically limited.danhere said:
Facebook is all about data aggregation, which is why you have to click "Allow 3rd Party Access" for nearly everything you do. That's the reason it's so brutally regimented. It needs to find your data in the same place every time. Once people start waking up and realising then we can get proper consumer-centric Social Networks happening again.
