[randomness]

Okay, I'll share a pet peeve about Facebook. It's when a post appears in my feed which I can do nothing with except share it. I can't interact with it in any other way except sending a friend request to the poster, who isn't a friend. The only reason it appears in my feed is because one of my friends interacted with it in some way.

I realize this is because the person who posted it locked down all interaction with their posts, but in that case I really don't need to see it, do I?

I consider this a bug, but clearly Facebook does not.

Comments

I have those moments of annoyance when I go to "like" or comment, and discover I can't, but there is often value to me in reading comments people on my flist have made, or articles they have "like"d but not "share"d.

The facebook behaviors that get to me are (1) when they show me an article with a bajillion comments because one of my friends commented on it, show me a snippet of the comment, but give me no easy way to navigate to their full comment within the comment threads, and (2) when they show me new posts from pages ostensibly because some people on my flist (not me) have liked that page (not the post). I think (2) only happens when the page owner has paid to promote the post.
