Facebook Sows The Seeds Of Its Demise, Waters
Hey, is that another Facebook bug?
Last night, in an embarrassing glitch for Facebook that raises questions about privacy on the site, some users of the social-networking service began getting hundreds of personal messages that weren’t intended for them.
A WSJ.com editor, Zach Seward, tipped Digits off to the apparent glitch after his Facebook inbox was flooded with messages ranging from the mundane to the truly private.
“I am sorry for letting my jealousy and worry get the best of me,” reads one of the emails.
Oh, boy, Facebook is really in the race to obsolescence here. Misdirected personal messages? That’s going to undermine user trust and confidence.
And once one of the other up-and-coming social networking solutions hits a tipping point, Facebook is going to lose users in droves. You can’t keep burning people with poor quality and expect to be an ongoing concern no matter how many Farmville players you have.
