If your not sure what Facebook is your probably going to have to dig around my Facebook category to find out because I have no intention of going into that in this post, instead I have a few questions that I feel facebook better answer. Yeah, I said,”BETTER!”
Anyway I am pretty annoyed with Facebook these days and this has nothing to do with all of the changes and the new Facebook design, it is actually in regards to three different issues I have with Facebook at the current moment. The reality is that no one at Facebook is going to answer any of my questions or make any of these situations better because I complained about it, but I get it off my chest and who knows somewhere here might know the answer to why Facebook hates me.
If you do know a solution please feel free to leave a comment.
There isn’t a doubt in my mind that Facebook hates me because it seems that any of the tasks I am looking to do on Facebook right now either can’t be done or don’t work properly, and honestly it pisses me off.
Facebook Share Problem
Why is it that when I share anything from Extreme John on Facebook it removes my post title from the share feed?
Missing Post Title in Facebook Share
Facebook Share Including Post Title
Facebook Fan Page Twitter Application Problem
Why is it that I can’t connect my Business Twitter account’s @etasflorida and @insanelimos with our Business Facebook Fan Page for Extreme Tan and Smoothies and Insane Limos?
Facebook “Become a Fan” Widget Problem
Why is it that I cannot display the “Become a Fan” badge in blog posts, but I can display it in the sidebar?
Why is it that the “Become a Fan” badge doesn’t display properly on my personal Facebook page for either of my business Facebook accounts?
The code for the Extreme Tan and Smoothies Facebook Fan Page badge is directly below this:
It should appear like this:
Facebook RSS Feed to Facebook Fan Page Wall Problem
Why is that the Facebook applications for integrating your RSS feed into your fan page wall fails to include the picture in a blog article, however if the article is manually shared on Facebook through a “link” it will display a thumbnail of the image?
That’s about it for today as you can see I think there is plenty of room for growth in regards to Facebook Fan Pages and usability, I also think there is plenty of growth potential in regards to options on Facebook Fan Pages as well.

@John Sullivan,
These sites care about one thing and it’s NOT US 
I’ll add an edit comment plugin to my site if you will ?
Dude Facebook sucks and so does Twitter it’s like fishing in a pond with no fish LOL
You know I luv ya Lets make a better site I told you know I’m learning my api’s won’t be long now ;)
oN THE serious because I know you use them for real business they BOTH have been buggy but try that sexy it adds FB nice ;)
Also I have been following around bloggers and seeing MOST aren’t submitting anything but there own.Go test it on my site to see if it works ;) sorry to double dip
John Sullivan´s last blog ..Barack’s Vietnam
@John Sullivan, nah I wasn’t really looking to trap any keywords and I really didn’t think Facebook would answer, I just wanted to bitch about it. I could probably add another 10 things to this easily.
I haven’t tried Wave and probably won’t I have yet to hear one reason that would make me want to try it or read feedback that excited me about it.
As for Sexy Bookmarks, too big and I don’t need all of the silly social sites that most people don’t pay any attention to anyway.
@Extreme John,
Wave isn’t something you’re supposed to be able to try. It’s something for technologists to build things on. It would be like saying “I haven’t tried plastic and haven’t heard any reason why I would want to try plastic.”
Google is hyping it hard trying to build media buzz. Which is mostly irrelevant. I’ll write more when I dig into the API and build something.

Thats a nice rant John. Maybe its a glitch on Facebook.
Sorry I don’t know the answer because I never had a problem like that.

@Compute Live, it’s been going on for months for my site only our of all of my blogs.
I don’t use facebook a lot but current facebook design is suck.
Seriously, I would help you if I knew the answers to all your questions. Believe it or not, but I’m a FaceBook ignorant when it comes to using it’s features. All I have is a wall and it took me like forever to set up the fan page, which btw I do not know if it working properly. I’m more of a Twitter Guy

Bookmarking this post, putting it in the “when people ask me why I don’t promote on Facebook here’s part of the answer” category.
Definitely hope these issues get resolved, and that your fans and customers find you no matter what.
ashok´s last blog ..Briefly Noted: Plato’s “Menexenus”
I imagine that Facebook is making too much money like it is. Until that slows down, I don’t see customer service improving much. All you can do is to keep trying. Is there some workaround, like maybe a hard code of how you want it to look?

well look like facebook have lot of problem in this day, i found the same thing with my account. i can’t post a new status and i don’t know what to do. this is why people swing to twitter i think.

HAhahahahahha!! I’m tempted to give up on Facebook.. Almost evertything about it pisses me off (aside from giving me a convenient spot to chat to me friends overseas) and it doesn’t really offer much in the way of returns. bleuh! Good luck and I hope that somewhere around here you got some of the answers you were looking for

No offense to anyone who loves it, but personally I hate facebook. In my opinion it’s a total waste of life. I mean I know it’s useful for some people, like long distance friends, etc. But some people (my friend included) just sit on it ALL DAY looking at what other people are doing! Most of the time, people they don’t even know! To me that’s boring. Each to their own I suppose …
Also, I tried PPC advertising on facebook and I’m convinced there’s something fishy about their program. I was getting charged for more clicks than visits were being delivered to my site. I tried to contat someone at facebook but never had a response. Anyone else experienced this?

facebook is not about design its about functionality!
Edds´s last blog ..Hello world!
well its not about the design if you see twitter has not got a wonderful design though but got a lot of traffic.
I think they all are same for all Facebook users. & definitely they would be working on to avoid major glitches in the nest improvisation.
Facebook makes me sweat! I like aps that I can set it and forget it and FB book ain’t it.
Ms. Freeman´s last blog ..About My About Page
i think facebook needs to be some changes in its design and this would be better for facebook to win in this social media fight.
its funny, i saw this link in facebook yet they are still using facebook… all the whinnings, all the complanings are all inside, not sure if facebook itself will answer like what Extreme john said.

facebook hate me too
I have to admit that I got addicted to facebook lately, and I find myself spending much more time on it than I wish I would.
But, beside the enjoyment it seems I’m getting out of it (or else I wouldn’t spend hours in front of it), I’ve also had my share of problems and disputes with facebook in the past.
I posted a while a go a music video-clip that I made with colleague musician, and the video-clip got quite famous on the web. Facebook noticed it and in response deleted my post saying that I don’t have the copyrights for it. I wrote facebook back and explained that I do, but I didn’t get any response. I tried a few times to contact facebook, but there was no comment from the other side.
So… I can’t post my video-clip, and there’s no one to talk to, which this is, to my opinion, the most annoying part of the story.
So, I do share you facebook frustration…
for now i am addicted to Facebook for more frds and gaming part of it
After reading your post about facebook and responding to it, I talked about it with some friends of mine, and everyone of them had at least one “why-does-facebook-hates-me” story…
Turns out that we’re not alone!
