Facebook: “Clean Up Your Room, Mister!”

Published January 16th, 2008 in Tech & VC

I just added a new application I’m testing to my Facebook profile. That’s a very common occurance these days, so my Facebook profile is a bit of a mess. After added the latest application, when I went to check out my profile, I found a big message from Facebook.

The gist of the message was that I had a lot of junk (43 apps) on my profile, and they recommended I remove some of it. I appreciate that they’re trying to be helpful, but I this totally felt like a classic TV-sitcom mother nagging her child to clean a messy room. Part of me expected Facebook to threaten to ground me for a week ;) Check out the “nag” message below:

    I love that they did this. I had a bunch of apps that I had on my “probation” list, some of which were created by friends of mine. I didn’t really want to advertise the whole “Corey removed x app” in my already busy feed. Now I can just hide it, problem solved, awkward situation avoided.
