Suggestions for Facebook

  1. Take some time to debug

    Seriously, you need to throw more resources into cleaning up this mess. Error messages deteriorate the strength of your brand and your user experience. Don’t revise or add features until they are bug free, or it will be much harder to fix them later. Wait, you have figured that out by now, huh?

  2. Event Reminders

    I get a notification and an email every time my buddy hiccups, but no option is available to send event reminders. Start asking “how can we make this more useful” instead of “how can we make this stand out from our competition” because the former will answer the latter.

  3. Allow me to control the communication I receive from Pages, Groups, etc.

    People want a way to come together over a statement like “I wear mismatched socks” or “I ♥ SLEEP”, but no one wants inbox messages from the 12-year-old who created the page.

    On the other hand, I would love a quick email when my favorite band posts something on their page.

    The options might be:

    • No Communication
    • Normal
    • Notifications
    • Email
    • SMS

  4. Stop the Recommendations

    • Actually, I talk with this guy everyday in real life.
    • No, I don’t want to reconnect with that particular ex-girlfriend.
    • My friends are not interested in speaking with my mother, so I will not recommend them.
    • And most crucially, Stop reminding me that I haven’t heard from my deceased friend.
