Don't search for Andrey Golub on Facebook- my account is disabled! UPDATE: I WON, I'M ALIVE!

I't all just great!

Finally I've been given a strong enough kick to realize how small and stupid is the world of Facebook. In addition, they think they "are permitted"(of course they ARE!) to block your account because they "believe" there was a violation for their Terms and Conditions, and then it's very difficult or just impossible "in some cases" for them to get you back when the misunderstanding is resolved.

In the meanwhile you loose your Content and Network of Contacts, because

• YOUR NETWORK AND CONTENT BELONGS TO FACEBOOK, NOT TO YOU!

as you realize later but it's too late.

And so you ask (nobody but yourself) what's about OpenSocial? SocialGraph? DataPortability? ... Social WHAT? :D

• Facebook HAS YOU!
  

Well, I'm very happy to have been given a chance to swallow the red pill right at the moment I'm working myself on a very serious Social Web project. It's for sure this new creature will be build on the true OPEN SOCIAL Web principles.

Go to hell the proprietary networks!

• Andrey Golub is back to Facebook as individual (personal profile http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=628147811)- the support guys have reactivated my account today. Should I thank them after all the conclusions I've made about Facebook? Hm... I don't know yet, I need to think better about it

1. LOL, that's what I've said reading their t&c and disabling my account about a year ago. later I came back. Shitty thing indeed. I hope they start charging for basic services. I hope they do.

2. I agree, soon they will have to do that, otherwise it will become a pure junk container of a non structured and not controlled user activity. Quite a useless stuff from all points of view, even with that pressing of "new kind of ads- social ads", that's all bullsh&t, Facebook is too chaotic

3. c'erano 3 ipotesi perche' i loro stupidi robo-soft mi hanno disabilitato:
   1. come business mascherato,
   2. come troppo attivo- numero di ... Read Morecontatti elevato/ numero di nuovi collegamenti elevato,
   3. come "spammer" perche' ho creato molti eventi in un giorno ed ho invitato migliaia di persone tutto in un giorno).
   
   mamma mia che casino che hanno quelli ANTI-social Social Network :)
