As much as I like spending time on Facebook, I have experienced many frustrating moments. This post is inspired by the unpleasant incidents that made me ponder over some possible Facebook applications.
1. Searching Newsfeed Posts - Every now and then scrolling through my Newsfeed, I come across posts that seem quite interesting but require an adequate amount of time to go through; articles and videos. So, in order to not procrastinate, I tell myself to take a look at them later. Now-- this 'later', never arrives at times-- simply because, many other posts have been stacked up on them. So, there I am, scrolling down my NewsFeed to get the specific post. Sometimes, I do succeed if others have re-shared it or I keep on looking while trying to remember the exact title of the post or the friend who shared it. This calls for a new Facebook app/extension--that could let you search your newsfeed with the keywords for a specific post that you are trying to find.
2. To Comment Or Not To Comment - I am sure many of you have been in this dilemma, when a close friend of yours posts something and kind of expects that you would comment something nice on it. Not a problem -- you can do that, but what you don't want is the flood of notifications arriving later, when other comments after you. That is why, most of the times I simply choose to 'like' the post instead of commenting, because it does not lead to any notifications :-). But there's something you can do about it incase you choose to comment. Click on a comment notification for the post you are not interested in anymore and click the small 'x' and choose 'unfollow' and voila! No more notifications for the uninteresting comments.
