Facebook spams it's users to promote new but useless features!!

 “Facebook is a place for connecting with friends, family and other people you know personally.

You’ve been prevented from adding friends on Face book. This may be because you’ve sent friend requests to strangers, or it may be due to other behavior that Face book members have reported as unwelcome. 

You’ll be allowed to add friends again soon. At that time, please remember to only send friend requests and messages to people who you already know personally. Otherwise, additional limits may be placed on your account.”

A 60 year old woman from Mumbai loves to write and make new friends. For this reason itself she joins Face book…so that she could connect with like minded people across the world and share her stories/blogs with people without having to physically publish them!

But what does FB do? After the poor lady sends out friends requests...FB blocks her account and sends her the above posted warning! Darn FB coz they are warning her for sending out spam but will someone tell me wtf FB does to promote their new features?? Don’t they spam their users?? 

I recently saw a friends feed “Chk out the my revolving photo’s on Face Book…click on the link to see your albums revolve”…now if that isn’t interesting then what is?? So..’’click’’ and then what?? Well, the next thing I know, the same link got posted to my entire friends (133 friends) wall as a “msg” from me!! And not only that but since then (4 days now) everyday twice a day somehow that link shows up on my profile as a status msg…even thou I’ve not posted it!!

Freaking shit!! If that isn’t spam then what is?? Here I am working my a** off and have no clue what’s going on FB but thanks to this darn link showing up at inappropriate time…my bosses (yeah they are on my list too!!) think that I’m wasting my time on face book than working!! I don’t care what other think…but hell…my FB account is MINE…and I choose to post things on it…FB has no freaking right to just post a link without my permission…(and NO don’t leave silly comments by saying go to permissions page and disable…already tried n tested!!)

Good that Face book has such high privacy settings that unknown people can’t bug you with msgs and spam...but who do we go to in case Face book itself is spamming us??!!
