We all know what facebook is and what it does. It’s a social site where you can have all your life exposed to the world so they can know you and your family and your whole life and find out your likes and dislikes.
But facebook just like any other site, only worthwhile if you can access your account. If you are traveling and don’t carry your own computer with you, facebook is almost worthless, because you can’t sign in to your account with just your name and password.
Why is that? Because, their verification system is overdone. Not enough to type in your account name and password, but you also have to use a captcha and identify photos of people from the list of your “friends” or people you had marked as “friend”.
Facebook does this by displaying photos off of your “friend’s” albums, and you are supposed to know who that photo belongs to. Now you have to identify at least 3 or 4 of these photos of different “friends”. That is impossible for those who have more than 3 or 4 friends.
Like I am now. I live in the UK but I am in Hungary right now, not using my usual computer and trying to access my facebook account. I can’t because I can’t identify the photos that the verification system showing me. So as the result I am abandoning facebook as soon as I get back to the UK, which is not going to happen for another 2 weeks.
If facebook makes it sooo hard for me to sign into my account I am not interested in them at all. After all they are nothing but an over hyped social media site and I have better things to do.
These photos are either faces of people or a photo of anything, like a flower, or scenery or anything. How the hell do I supposed to know every photo that my so called “friends have”?
I am very disappointed by facebook and I am not going to use it in the future. It’s worthless -and all because either their arrogance or some idiots idea of a very difficult verification system.
