Facebook iPad App Developer Quits After Repeated Launch Delays

[CWT1965]

The screenshot doesn't look much different from MyPad+ which I already have and works fine for me

Really am not fussed if the app ever sees the light of day

Just wish LinkedIn would get their ass in gear and release an app

Explain to me why you would need a Facebook app for the iPad when you can just go to the website? What functionality would an app offer that the website wouldn't at a 1074x768 resolution?

chat.

Agree. I've been on Google + for a couple of months and it is gradually increasing in users. The problem is that it still requires invites.

Open for all users as of last week. Spread the word!

Not anymore, Google+ went public about a week ago

Facebook is turning into myspace.


I'm seriously considering switching to google plus.

So how long before we make the argument that Google+ has become just like Facebook/MySpace/Frienster and begin to threaten to switch to Diaspera?

Nothing surprising, considering that we are talking about the company of that moron Mark Sugarloaf here...

[Trooperof3]

sounds like a dream job... "Well i'm just gonna hang out. surf the net until we are good to go...."

 

[davidwarren]

Unless your'e the owner, then I don't think it would be 'boatloads.'

depends on the size of your boat.

 

[ECUpirate44]

Google+ FTW! So done with FB after the latest changes.

Facebook App on my HP Touchpad works great!

Notifications.

Since he's working for google now, hopefully he can make the iOS Google+ app universal.

No it doesn't.

 

[MattG]

Meh. Who needs it.

u have to open the browser and go to facebook ... duh

i for one have the facebook ipad app bc it leaked with one of the earlier fb iphone apps and i love it

 

[mudman2]

Wow it really sounds like FB is self destructing

 

[psxp]

Not sure why Facebook needs a mobile app on each platform.
Just build a universal web app for people to use via mobile safari or chrome or windows 8.
Instead of developing 3 apps, you develop 1.
Its not like Facebook is doing anything crazy with 3D graphics or anything like that.

they have to add their special stuff that tracks your whereabouts and flaunts privacy laws etc

Its much quicker, easier to use. The buttons are optimized for touch, as opposed to clicks.

I much prefer using "Friendly" (I believe its name is) than facebook.com, although it is extremely feature incomplete.

Facebooks downward slide has been steadily picking up steam.

From privacy, content rights wrangling, & even a usability standpoint, their site continually sucks more and more as time goes on.

I guess that is the nature of things. With enough time, everything goes to **** eventually.

The Facebook chat, which doesn't work in Safari on the iPad.

screw Zuckerberg and Facebook, quit 6 months ago and never go back-greedy thief he is...

 

[samcraig]

Reminds me of this which was recently published...

Facebook is great. With the latest update, I'm able to look at a lot of peoples profiles and photos even though they think they're set to private.

How is it that FB keeps ****ing the dog on what should be a simple app? How long does stuff like this need to take?

Astounding.
