The Facebook Survey – Did they expect us to be polite?

Leave a comment

Last week we got a notice from Facebook about a survey asking about our experience with News Feed. Hmmm, we thought. This could be interesting. Here’s how we responded:

We hate surveys, don’t you? 1-2 minutes? Oh OK. Let’s do it.

Is anyone ‘completely satisfied’ with anything?

News Feed has changed. So has our attitude towards it.

Facebook chooses the stories. How interesting could it be?

Now it’s all ads, even ads with sound. Booo!

We like the new look, not the new News Feed.

You point, you click, what’s easy or hard about that?

The News Feed should be about people you interact with, not ads or virtual strangers.

Did they even have to ask?

10. Finally, our thoughts:

Our thoughts. What do you think?

 

That’s it, a very short survey but you just know that Facebook is testing us for even more ads than before. We think they are gauging our reactions to the increasing number of ads that are already spoiling our Facebook experience. Have you noticed that they are using ads with sounds recently? That’s a jarring experience if you’re listening to music. There should be a way to opt-out of these ads but, of course, there isn’t.

Facebook is on a downward spiral, we think. Since the IPO, they are selling their users out to ads and data mining every bit of information they can and, we suspect, selling it all to the corporate world. It’s up to you to decide if you want to be part of it. Comments are welcome.
