I never was an avid Facebook user, but now I’m officially done with it. Sure, I’ll probably keep my account around, it updates itself by syndicating my Pownce and Twitter/Jaiku stuff anyway, but any thoughts on actually using the service are cancelled, destroyed, and all out forgotten.
Why? Because it’s spammy crap, that’s why.
First there’s these Facebook Apps. Some are actually quite good and add something, like a charity drive in October for breast cancer, and boxes for displaying your Flickr photos. These are good things, they add to the experience.
Being bitten by a poorly drawn werewolf doesn’t.

Microblogging is cool, with Twitter, Jaiku, Tumblr, and Pownce, among others. The latter now have added a mobile interface, apparently not really meant to go online already, but I tried it out, of course.
Before we get to the video, I’d just like to say that I enjoy Pownce a lot. I’m even a pro user. It’s not the place for everyone, but I’ve found interesting people there, made connections, and so on. I guess you could do the same on Facebook or Twitter, but it haven’t worked nearly as well for me as Pownce has.
If you haven’t checked it out do say hi, I’m at pownce.com/tdh. Give a shout in the comments if you need an invite, although they are rarely hard to come by.
