I know her headline is just an attention grabber, but the entire writeup is just incredibly inapt.

You have to login? I think the whole point is that it's personal profiles with great access control. Users don't learn HTML and Javascript by adding apps? Are you kidding me?

Agreed. Many of the bad things she mentioned are things I consider positive things (privacy settings, non-customizable look). The article almost goes back and forth between describing things myspace has that facebook doesn't, and things that are easy to ask for but hard to do. Neither of these categories justifies hate, even if it is just an attention grabber.

The article managed to list most of the thigns I actually still like about Facebook.
