Facebook is screwed - Really. I mean it.
There you have it. I said it.
Now you might ask yourself: Why is he saying this? There is no reason to be so angry with nice little Facebook. Well - in general I would agree. If it wouldn’t have been for my tremendously bad experience with the largest social network on the planet. Let me explain:
Since about 5 days or so I can’t log into my Facebook account. I believe it is after I last changed my password. Hmm… stuff like this happens. It might be my browser, it might be an old cookie. Whatever. So - I try two different browsers (Firefox and Safari), delete cookies and saved passwords. The whole shebang. Nothing - Facebook still thinks that I shouldn’t be on their network. Well, well - no worries. We can still go to the ominous ‘Forgot your Password?’ link… only… Facebook tells me that every single of my email addresses is unknown to the system! At the same time I still receive status emails from Facebook to my primary email address (which is also one of the email addresses Facebook pretends it doesn’t know).
Now - all this can happen. At the end of the day Facebook is software - and software has bugs. But now it gets really frustrating: Did you ever try to find an email address for Facebook’s customer support? Well - there doesn’t seem to be one. GREAT! So there is nothing I can do about it - I’m simply locked out of my account for good. But to make the story a really good one - I just successfully registered a new account with the very same email address Facebook is still sending me status messages from my original account to.
Bravo Facebook. You really… ah - whatever. It doesn’t matter. Really.
P.S.: As I guess that this is it for me on Facebook (I’m really not interested in recreating my account again), please refrain from pinging me on Facebook. I won’t be able to answer you. Even if I would like to.
