Facebook...I want to scream.

Oct 24, 2009 - Alright, I am going to admit this right up front---I am probably one of the biggest Facebook noobs you have ever come into contact with.     I fought against the repeated temptations to join and then finally in May I did.  Spent a fantastically insane amount of time building connections between my blogs and those I found on Facebook and at one point the connections to my FB page was bringing in new readers so much per day that I marveled at my stupidity in dragging my feet in creating a Facebook page.   Then it happened.  My hard drive died last week, replaced it, spent several days trying to locate my bits-n-pieces...and then thought, "Gee I better check Facebook.  It had been only 4 days since I last signed in----BUT----they deactivated my page and it reverted to the page and content that was on there the first day (first 24 hrs) that I created it.  I  lost ALL my friends/followers, ALL my content, ALL my links.......ok----everything!   Then the anger set in.  When my hard-drive had died I had been relieved to know that all my content was elsewhere on the net and that all I had to do was go and collect it again.  WRONG.   Guess what?   There is no link on FACEBOOK for HELP...only more equally distraught and upset individuals who like myself just lost everything.  Seriously...there is no official help from Facebook.  In fact, people were so upset that they created new profiles with names like "Facebook AnswerURphone" or "Helpdesk Facebook" and "MIA Facebook Admin"  then finally "Contact Facebookgoodluck" so at least I know that I was not the only one to be in this mess. - 1 Comment
