As for interaction and relationship, have a look there: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relationship and you'll see the word "interaction" used in the definition. Not that it really matters in the end because as, like you say for the word "social", you need to look at the different contexts of the word. Anyways, thanks for passing by and have a great time with facebook. probably that consistency ≠ reality.

Also, Interaction ≠ Relationship. You can interact with anyone on the street and fail to have any sort of relationship with them. It is when you connect with someone and establish that connection mutually that you have a "relationship". You also need to look at the different contexts of the word Social - to me, it means doing things with friends in real life. Not over Facebook. But seriously, Facebook's limitations are of real concern to me and I will soon be embarking on a journey through Facebook API with an army of coders behind me. The only problem will be Facebook's limits. This post lacked consistency (haha). Also, Interaction ≠ Relationship.

The FBML app was awesome and everyone developed apps and such to work with FBML....now it's gone. I hate facebook because they took away one of the ONLY cool features that there was to customize your own page and make it look different. I am referring to the removal of the FBML & Extended Info Apps that use to work on the SIDE WALL. Now you can ONLY post lame stuff that is ONLY FACEBOOK'S lame apps/boxes like the 'photos' 'video' 'events' that EVERYONE has. At least with the FBML you were able to put up cool images and banners on the side wall. It took a while to figure out what would work on the side wall and what wouldn't, and guess what, now all that time was wasted for nothing since it was all taken away. Now, facebook absolutely sucks more than it did before...if that is possible. Now everyone is screwed and can't make their page look nice anymore. Does anyone have any ideas that will work on the side wall (if at all possible)? Thanks. -ER I agree, no consistency.
