DISQUS

I like the new facebook, but they really should, like, finish it before rolling it out to millions of users. It obviously still in beta testing, they're changing features every few days, the layout/shading/borders/etc is still awkward looking compared to the old one, etc.

They *know* its unfinished or they wouldn't keep messing with it. Seems pretty immature to roll it out as "the" Facebook until its been fully baked for a while.

I was going to go pre-block this app, but it turns out it had already been spamming me and I had already blocked it...

Facebook needs to add the ability to make a "ignore all notifications and invitations from people on this list" feature for the people on your friends list that insist on spamming their friends but aren't quite annoying enough to remove completely.

Someone in Microsoft Branding needs to own up to the fact that spending whatever fortune was spent to buy "live.com" (and it's equally wasted brother "start.com", what the heck is domain like that being used for an "incubation experiment" for anyway?) was a poor investment, and they shouldn't throw out the "MSN" branding for the hugely awkward "Windows Live" just to justify the purchase...

MSN is easy satisfies items 1-5 and has tons of brand recognition due to the ubiquitous "MSN Messenger". Renaming that to "Windows Live Messenger" is a terrible, terrible, terrible decision that will, at best, dilute the brand.

Right now, people say "I'll see you later on MSN". If this change goes through, that's not to change to "I'll see you on Windows Live", it'll be "I'll see you on Messenger" (thus losing the whole branding) or something easier, like "I'll see you on AIM/Gtalk/Meebo/etc.."

It's obvious to everyone, even without marketing training or experience, that "Windows Live" is terrible. MS Branding seems to be going through enormous ego ("We must rebrand everything in my image!") and/or collectively wrong groupthink.
