My Biggest [Facebook] Pet Peeve

I can NOT pass up this opportunity.  Who knows when it will come along again.  A chance to call out people for their misuse of Facebook.

Now it all makes sense why some Facebook relationships are so one-sided.

My entire News Feed is full of comments posted "via iPhone", "via Android", or via some other mobile phone application.  I especially like the "via text" and "via email" ones.  What is that all about???

I love these people.  Well, the ones who only post status updates on their phones, but never bother to read their News Feed.  They want to share THEIR stories with the Facebook world, but never take an interest IN the Facebook world.  And then they wonder why they miss things.  Don't you get it?  Don't you know how all this is supposed to work?

Look, it would be nice to see some feedback from you.  You know, a comment or a "like" every now and then.  Ooooh, here's an idea!  How about signing on to a computer once on a while?  Which brings me to my next point ...

Has the use of Facebook Mobile and apps of the like ruined the Facebook experience?  I think, perhaps.  If the only way to access the networking site was the traditional way -- on a computer or mobile web -- we might just see more quality content, and definitely more reciprocation (<----- there's my favorite word again!).

I know in today's world everything is rush-rush.  We just barely squeeze in a status update before having to get back to work.  But come on, if you're not going to use it correctly then don't use it at all!
