I found the above article amusing.

I gave up on Facebook a while back. Its loaded with too much garbage and dumba$$es.

So, Facebook doesn't test their apps in the real world until they are forced to?

I *upgraded* to the facebook app on my old phone. It was useless. With the newphone, I don't use the Facebook app at all. I just use the mobile website instead. The Facebook app sucks even on iOS.

I haven't been on FB in about a year. Seems too intrusive to me.

It definitely is intrusive. But no more intrusive than any other place else on the web.

The adage goes, "If you're not paying for a service, you're the product, not the customer."

Check the ads on any webpage you're on. Unless you are blocking the ads, Big Brother knows where you have been.

Plus 1000! A couple live friends talked me into trying it once, saying we could 'keep in touch'. Heck we meet face-to-face at least once a week, we phone and e-mail each other - why add Farcebook!? But I tried it. Never could get them to use it. Got lots of 'friend' requests from total unknowns, lots of folks wanting me to sign onto some silly RPG. So, I soon gave it up as being something I have NO interest in. I do not Farcebook, I do not use Tweeter. No teeny-bopper social sites for this old dog. E-mail and computer forums are quite sufficient.
