Thread Name: BS: Making sense of Facebook...
Subject: RE: BS: Making sense of Facebook...
Or rather, not being able to make sense of Facebook. Up till now I've steered clear of using it, except on rare occasions when I've had a tentative try. But now I've decided to make an effort to understand it, since it clearly has many useful features, and people I know rely on it.

But why can't it be more like Mudcat, which makes sense and is consistent. When I try using Facebook on my iPad and my PC it seems to be completely different. There are news feeds and timelines and home pages and profiles, there are privacy options that are greyed out... And every time I've had a go at making sense in the past, it seems they've moved the goalposts and dug up the pitch.

Nothing about it seems intuitive to me, and the explanations I've found online just add confusion to confusion. Anybody got any suggestions for some straightforward guide that I might actually find helpful?
