I was just thinking about how nice it would be if Facebook and my Mac integrated more. I was in iCal today and I was like... wow what if address book automatically synced the info from those contacts with my friends list. Then I was thinking about how it'd be nice if my facebook events could sync with iCal and then with my iPhone and iPod? Like, wow that'd be great... wish Apple or Facebook would get on that... though I spose we'd have to wait for OS X.6 and it's not like they're gonna actually do that. That would make too much sense.

The iPhone commercial isn't a bad start. It would be nice.

However, it's not gonna happen. Not very Apple-like.

God, I hate Facebook so much. It's been turning into MySpace lately.

It does/did.

FSB Software

The old Facebook sync worked much better, but I think it's functionality has been crippled now.

At least I got a whole lot of use of it before that happened.

Err. That has been severely muted for the last month or so. App invites are far and few between these days, and you can block them from the notification page.

Yah Facebook seems to be a pretty smart platform, and I think you're gonna see more and more refinement coming back into it... till they do their next thing that gets stupid. I would really love to see them actually stop a few developers from making entirely stupid apps.

I'd like to see Facebook stop obliterating people's accounts just because they get more traffic than most other people.

Many of my friends (actual, real life friends) on Facebook send me invites for various apps, and I've really only accepted one - I was very new to the whole Facebook thing and didn't understand how this sort of thing worked. But also my friend group is relatively small, not even my whole class of 30, so I may be missing out on some of the excess by not having too many friends.
