It was only yesterday I was thinking about my previous blogpost could’ve been too early to point fingers at the Facebook team. I stood corrected and was pretty pleased with the way they had managed to allow third party developers to access the site without making it an annoyance. All flash and music related applications have a strict no auto-play rule to them. And most applications so far had been above par. Peace and order had been restored in the kingdom.

And then it happened. I was shocked out of my mind when I found out a friend of mine had added what seemed to be a Glitter Text. Mustering all the courage inside me, I managed to click on their profile. And conforming to my fears, there it was their name in glittery shiny horrible looking text. Not just that, applications such as Fortune Cookie and Famous Quotes put a line of text on an unnecessary image which is of a ludicrous size. You have to scroll for nearly 17 years to get to someone’s wall. Add to that, applications such as fluffPet and you the ‘Ridiculous meter’ running off the charts. Many would be inclined to blame Facebook’s decision to open the website up to everyone. But the cause of the problem here are the ‘College’ Students. ‘I am disgusted’ would be pretty much an understatement.
