Is your Facebook cluttered?
Day by Day February 25th, 2008I’m not sure I get Facebook.
That’s not exactly true. I do understand what it is, and how it works.
The thing is, I don’t see how anyone can possibly visit all of their friends pages, and browse all of the stuff that’s there. Most pages go on and on and on forever.
I probably shouldn’t say that. I don’t mean that they are boring or uninteresting It’s more like there’s too much stuff.
It’s all important stuff, I’m sure. In fact, my page at facebook gets pretty long (and dare I say it) cluttered.
The fact is, the more “friends” you have, the more likely you are going wind up with a very long page. For example:
![]() |
This is actually an average Facebook page!!!
I doubt that I have ever made it all the way to the bottom of Sherry’s page, and actually read everything that’s there. Maybe you’re not supposed to. But that defeats the purpose of a “social network” if you don’t take the time to get all the gossip. Okay, it’s not all gossip. Since I only have a few facebook friends, I imagine I will eventually get through all of their pages. Only to have to start all over whenever I get notified of a “post to my wall” or an “invitation” to some new gadget that I can add. How does everyone do it? No wonder some employers are blocking Facebook at the workplace. It can be a little time consuming. I’m not suggesting that anyone change their facebook style or page. However, I have had people say “Did you see on Facebook that…” Well, I probably haven’t. I’m still working on my sister’s page, and I hope to be at your’s tomorrow You can answer my totally un-scientific opinion poll below, (note: sometimes you are unable to answer the poll on this page.

First of all, having more apps has nothing to do with the amount of friends you have (in my opinion). Secondly, you can easily reject your friends’ invitations and even if you don’t you can ALWAYS uncheck that box that asks if you want the application to show up as a box on your profile page. That simple!

OMG!!!
Ive tried so much to keep my page from this so much that most apllications are set to invisible. Id like to remove them all but its just too much hassle. Maybe FB will add in a “Remove All” button somewhere someday
