Recently I have been starting to get really fed up with Facebook (I am not the only one). My main problem is that I don’t use it but others do and expect you to be the same. My problem though is that Facebook data is very closed, inaccessible, and honestly I think I use better solutions.

One example is where I use Upcoming versus the Facebook event structure. More than one person have been nagging me about integrating the Upcoming events and the GeekDinner blog posts into the Facebook group because that’s easier for them. Honestly, I like Upcoming and Wordpress perfectly well on their own. How hard can it be for someone to simply add the RSS feeds from either to your favorite RSS reader and then add the iCal events to your favorite calendar utility when you feel like it?

Anyhow, I will be trying to auto-integrate the blog and upcoming into the Geek Dinner Facebook group because I caved in. But please don’t expect me to Facebook because you do. If I don’t reply to a wall message, send me an email. All my info is freely available online. It is not THAT hard to find, seriously.
