"A selection of the world's best spots for stripping off and indulging in nude swimming. Formentera, Spain As the smallest and most southerly of Spain’s Balearic Islands, Formentera boasts some of the Mediterranean’s finest beaches. There’s no need to pussyfoot around on these unspoilt sands – nudity is the norm and you’ll likely draw more looks if you cover up than if you let it all hang out. Playa Levante is a sandy enclave backed by trees and caressed by sheltered dunes, while Playa Es Calo has great snorkelling in its crystal-clear bay. As far as above-board skinnydipping goes, it probably doesn’t get any better than this. An easy one-hour boat ride from Ibiza, Formentera offers a more ecofriendly vibe – visitors are asked to rent bicycles to get around, instead of cars. Lonely Planet’s 1000 Ultimate Experiences brings together 1000 ideas, destinations and activities to inspire and entertain travellers. The book includes a diverse range of experiences which are divided into different themes."

Jesse, it's the UI, mainly. I truly appreciate what Buchheit and the Gang are doing over there but the UI just makes me want to claw my eyes out. And I can't stand the never-ending stream of pokes, games, invites, et al. It's truly a spammer's paradise because it encourages your friends to just send crap to EVERYONE on their list with no discrimination. And, finally, it serves no...

- Akiva Moskovitz
Does deactivating accomplish something beyond just never visiting the site? I mean I basically never go there and don't use it, but is there some additional benefit to deactivating?
- Ken Sheppardson
No more e-mail from it, at least. And, sure, I could go there and turn off e-mail notifications but why have the account there at all then? I'm still squatting on the name so no one can take it...
- Akiva Moskovitz
Deactivating also removes you from the search and, to your friends, it looks like you vanished since your photo/profile no longer appears in their friends' list.
- Rochelle
I deactivated it once for a couple of months and then returned with everything intact. Did you remove it completely?
- Faraz Mullick
To be perfectly honest I can't stand FB either but I have an account there that just sits idle and collects dusts. But as Rochelle mentions deleting it only makes it harder for people to find & get in touch with you. Mine is essentially just there as a placeholder because a lot of times when people go to search for somebody they (for whatever reason) start with Facebook.
- Nicholas Kreidberg
Akiva, you should block more apps then - you can't do that on Twitter or FriendFeed. Have you tried the new Live feed? It's very similar to FriendFeeds. Also, have you tried the friend lists on Facebook? It's a much better experience once you start utilizing all that. I wouldn't necessarily blame the UI - I'd blame the community of 300 million+ people. That has its advantages as well.
- Jesse Stay
Nicholas, maybe he doesn't want to be found? :)
- Rochelle
Jesse, the issue I have with apps on Facebook is that it's like play whack-a-mole. I hide a dozen and then the next day, there are a dozen more. I want a button that says "hide all apps, forever and always".
- Rochelle
+1 Rochelle, I want a button like that too!
- Iain Baker
Jesse, what Rochelle said. If I could use it like I use FriendFeed and Twitter, I would. Also, the UI just seems claustrophobic to me.
- Akiva Moskovitz
from BuddyFeed
I would agree. I avoided using Facebook all this time until a couple of months ago; around the time FF announced they were moving to Facebook. I don't particularly like the interface of Facebook either, nor do I quite understand anything that's going on. It seems so cluttered and confusing. I much prefer FriendFeed, however, let's be honest, FF probably isn't going to be growing anymore and the future seems to be on the side of Facebook.
- Kittyburgers
I can't stand FB either... the only reason I keep the account is that occasionally people find me that wouldn't have otherwise that I would like to get in touch with again. But I'm terrible about all my friend requests piling up. About once every couple of months or so I venture in and add as many as I can stand before being overwhelmed by the clunkiness of it and having to leave.
- Fa La La La Lindsay
Everyone, note that I had typed 'deactivated' and not 'deleted'.
- Akiva Moskovitz
from BuddyFeed
That is an interesting point. It was been a major issue here in Canada with the privacy commission. That fact that accounts were "put on ice" and not actually deleted was causing a problem for Facebook in this country. Apparently, this issue has been resolved, but it a problem with many social networking sites (dating sites, especially).
- Kittyburgers
from IM
There are apps IN Twitter? I thought there were just apps that used Twitter... I've never felt overwhelmed going to the Twitter website and looking at my account...
- Fa La La La Lindsay
http://lite.facebook.com Also the selective hide they've added in helps tons. Finally I can hide Farm Town without hiding my friends or blocking the app.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
Lindsay, what's the difference? I still see their updates in my feed, and on Twitter I can do nothing about it.
- Jesse Stay
Daniel, thanks - I was going to suggest that as well.
- Jesse Stay
*You have a de-activated people on facebook invitation. [Join DAPOF] [Ignore]*
- Micah Wittman
DANNNNNG. The only reason I keep my FB account is because it's a nice way of keep in touch with my students and alums through work. That and my ever changing quippy, and witty status updates.
- Derrick
Fortunately. You have a choice. I cancel mine, I don't get to talk to anyone anymore.
- Clark Baumgartner 蔵明 馬武刀
from iPhone
Akiva, I'm with you and Lindsay on the mind numbing UI. Thus far the overall experience when I'm there is just stultifying, and not for any one reason. Can't wait to see the Akiva FB time capsule unboxing 50 years in the future. Oh look at these game invites - somebody somewhere is still waiting with baited breath for my response, how quaint.
- Micah Wittman
I want to block all the GD causes ... i just ignore it all
- johnpiercy
@Jesse - I have no app updates on my Twitter feed... is that something you have to subscribe to? In Facebook it's total spam but I don't see anything like that on Twitter. I'm not understanding your comparison.
- Fa La La La Lindsay
Wow Lindsay you haven't gotten any Mafia invites, or "so and so unfollowed you" @mentions, or "thanks for following me" DMs? If you haven't yet, you will. The bigger Twitter gets the more that stuff will appear.
- Jesse Stay
So I should just hold off on Friending you Akiva? :D
- Uncle CW™
@Jesse - I get @replies sometimes... but I don't follow a lot of people and not really obsessed with growing my followers on Twitter so I guess I don't see the "thanks" replies. I have no idea what Mafia invites are. I think Twitter is all about who you follow.
- Fa La La La Lindsay
Jesse - you can't block apps on friendfeed, but you certainly can set your custom searches to ignore things. I have blocked every damn app there is, but there isn't a way to block all "which pair of Edward Cullen's pants" surveys, because they don't come from an app, each one is a new app all it's own.
- Matthew DeVries
Lindsay, you're missing out on why I hate Twitter then. If you bring the same people on Facebook over to Twitter, you'll see Mafia invites. That will happen eventually if Twitter continues to grow. The problem with Twitter is you can't opt out of those.
- Jesse Stay
Jesse, you make a fair point about being able to hide individual apps on Facebook when you can't on Twitter but that's still not enough of a sell over the rest of Facebook's endless annoyances.
- Akiva Moskovitz
from BuddyFeed
Jesse - if you're using vanilla twitter, you're right on all of that, but nobody uses vanilla twitter. All of the Twitter apps have custom searches that you can tune exactly how you want them, and with the grouping feature rolling out within the month, that becomes even more powerful. Just like on Friendfeed, you're not supposed to stick your face into the main firehose. That's in the background.
- Matthew DeVries
Matthew, and FriendFeed is owned by Facebook now - guess who owns that technology? Not Twitter. :-)
- Jesse Stay
Matthew, you can block Mafia dms in TweetDeck or Seesmic? (outside of using SocialToo to do that for you)
- Jesse Stay
You don't look at your DM's. You look at a filtered list of your DM's.
- Matthew DeVries
The other problem is Twitter doesn't separate apps from non-app data. I can't filter by only status update (you can do that in Facebook - just go over to the left, click "more", and "status updates")
- Jesse Stay
Matthew, I can do that with Facebook in TweetDeck/Seesmic as well. I think we're talking about native sites here.
- Jesse Stay
I don't think anyone talks about native when it comes to Twitter. Twitter is Twitter apps, and mobile devices. Scoble has said 95% of his twitter activity (sending, sorting, reading, processing) is on his iPhone.
- Matthew DeVries
The only thing that bugs me about Twitter is the silliness of the 140 character limit.
- Matthew DeVries
Matthew, so is Facebook. The advantage Facebook has is its native UI is much more rich than Twitter's native UI so people actually use it.
- Jesse Stay
I don't know anyone who uses apps to view facebook. I don't even know what facebook app would do. I know what apps on facebook are, but a facebook viewing app?
- Matthew DeVries
I do like Facebook's iPhone client. If there were a similar desktop app, I might be more forgiving. But Facebook's web UI is as horrible as Twitter's but for each their own reasons.
- Akiva Moskovitz
from BuddyFeed
@akiva the lite.facebook.com is like the iphone app look and feel
- Jorge Escobar
Matthew, both TweetDeck and Seesmic let you view Facebook. You can set up filters there just like you can for Twitter. I think any lack of filtering in that case is the app's fault.
- Jesse Stay
Akiva, be sure to take advantage of the facebook lists - remember you can also drag any list to the top and it becomes your default news feed. Also, as I said to Matthew, there are several Facebook desktop clients, some of them which also support Twitter.
- Jesse Stay
Actually yeah, Lite blocks all apps and annoying nonsense. It's a cleaner looking version of the Facebook I joined when I was in high school. You'll miss chat and instant notifications, but perhaps those things don't mean much to you.
- Clark Baumgartner 蔵明 馬武刀
Wow, Lite is amazing! That is fan freakin tastic. I will never be asked again which NFC quarterback's jock would make the best emperor of a small caribean country
- Matthew DeVries
Matthew, that's the power of Facebook - you have choice :-)
- Jesse Stay
Seriously though - try that "Status Updates" filter I mentioned above. It filters by just status update. Drag it and drop it to the top of the lists and it's now your default in Facebook.
- Jesse Stay
I'll keep all of these things in mind if I ever do decide to reactivate my account. None of it, however, answers the fact that Facebook offers me nothing that I can't already get somewhere else.
- Akiva Moskovitz
I am pretty sure I read that most Twitter users use the Twitter.com site. I'll share the link if I can find it.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
from iPhone
Annoyingly, they have a hidden trick, too - it'll seem that your account is "inactive", but the very moment you log in, even just to change a setting, without intent to use the service fully, they end up reactivating the account silently.
- Tyson Key
good for you, Akiva. I'm not sure why I'm still there.
- Jim Addz No Value
Totally didn't expect the explosion of comments on this!
- Akiva Moskovitz
32.6% of today's tweets. I believe I saw another chart that showed that most tweets come from a hardcore subset of users. Consider that the majority of Tweeters didn't tweet at all yesterday, and then wonder which client they use. Oh hey, here's the study I was talking about earlier: http://friendfeed.com/ricmac...
- Daniel J. Pritchett
If I want FB to replace FF somehow--I hate it too. If I approach it as a different thing, it sucks less. YMMV.
- Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
Daniel: Heh. So among people who don't actually use Twitter, the web is the most popular client, eh? ;-)
- Ken Sheppardson
Exactly. The majority of twitter's userbase did not tweet yesterday. http://www.twitstat.com/churn... I believe if Scoble tweets 100 times in a week from Tweetie and I tweet once in a week from Web then we are counted equally in the twitstat Churn chart.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
I sorta think the "last 4 tweets" methodology in the study you link is pretty flawed. That includes all users who signed up, posted via the web, then abandoned, no? (I guess I should probably read the whole study). Would the day-to-day client stats vary wildly for some reason? If only 32.6% of the tweets yesterday came in via the web, wouldn't that be true for any arbitrary day and in aggregate?
- Ken Sheppardson
Ah, but that's per tweet vs per user... but so is the Rapleaf study. Hm.
- Ken Sheppardson
I'd guess that client choice correlates with tweet volume and follow count. If you're only following 5 people and you tweet twice a year you've got little motivation to branch out, no?
- Daniel J. Pritchett
Yup. BTW, I checked out of this thread earlier and only jumped back in when I noticed your comment re "most twitter users use the twitter.com site" and now that I actually *read* that comment... :-) Yeah, that makes perfect sense, and isn't inconsistent with only ~33% of *tweets* coming in via the web.
- Ken Sheppardson
To each his or her own. I use FB to keep in touch with grad school friends and people I meet at academic conferences. Well, that and to chat with my niece online. Her mom and dad control her online access and FB is one of the few places permitted (and even then the adults have password access to her account). And of course, I have a few scrabble games going on there. However, if I had those things elsewhere, I'd probably leave.
- Katy S
Katy, I think you bring up a good point: Facebook, for a lot of people, is a site they use by necessity. You're on Facebook because you have people with whom you want to communicate where you can't elsewhere either because they're not there (your niece) or because the convenience factor isn't there (your grad school friends). I think a lot of people feel like you do, too: they'd quit...

Akiva - your last comment sums it up perfectly for me! I only keep a FB account since it seems to be the "default" for so many people I want to communicate with. For some of my friends (the real kind, not just the online virtual sort), FB is the only contact info I have.

- ★ Soner Gönül
If so many people, myself included, hate all these crappy little mafia war type requests, then why doesn't facebook just let you click a button and have them all go away forever? Is it that they make too much money off these things? Is it that they don't want to piss off all the developers of this spam? I'd think empowering the user to have a better experience should be higher up on facebooks priority list.
- Thomas Hawk
from iPhone
TH, I think because only the techies hate the games and other crappy apps. The majority of the 300mill users are non-techies and actually they love those things. I just need to look at the friends and family I have. Only the techies do not regularly spam me with app invites and status updates about their effing farm or mafia crap.
- Travis Koger
Opting out of apps forever is a bit of a scorched earth policy and I doubt the FB folks are ready to give up on apps. Maybe FB could offer more granular control of apps - only show me business related apps from this particular friends list; auto-block any games from my high school classmates. This would require some moderation and filing of the apps into categories though.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
So did i because it takes my time more than i can imagine. Facebooks sucks.
- Mehmet Ali Akyol
I actually *want* to like Facebook, since that's where most of my family and closest friends hang out, but the UI is like a Lovecraftian nightmare, only less warm and cuddly. The funny thing is, I've pretty much dropped my Friendfeed participation to zero in spite of the superior UI and community, simply because I'm spending all my socnet time on my phone, and BuddyFeed is really pretty awful when compared to Tweetie and the Facebook app.
- Roger Benningfield
Roger, I hear ya. The iphone Facebook app makes Facebook mildly more tolerable than the web UI and I'm hard at work on a new project to bring Tweetie's goodness to FriendFeed: http://friendfeed.com/akiva.... If you have any requests, comments, demands, daydreams, etc., please let me know in that thread.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Akiva, you mean Tweetie 2 right, because Tweetie 1 was just like all the rest =P.
- Travis Koger
I got tweetie 2 yesterday. I tell you. its awesome.
- Roberto Bonini
@roberto: Tweetie 2 is indeed awesome. In fact, I'd call if perfect if they'd just steal a couple features from Twittelator.
- Roger Benningfield
Coooool, as your Friendfeed iPhone Post comment says, Tweetie Goodness. Drop-drag refresh is one of my favourite little funcs on that app, but agree about replication.
- Travis Koger
It's becoming trendy to say you hate facebook. Everyone said FB was the greatest thing since sliced bread when it was just them and myspace. I promise you would see the same kind of backlash toward FF if it ever got even half as big as FB. Just beacause you choose to have a minority opinion about something doesn't make you cool, it just makes you elitist.
- Jason Williams
from iPhone
I've never liked Facebook, Jason, and I've never even had a MySpace account. I was very reticent to get in on the whole social networking thing. I signed on to Facebook and was unimpressed. Twitter was okay. I liked SocialThing a lot but it was FriendFeed that really got the ball rolling for me. Nice try, though, Jason.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Facebook hate has been trendy here on FF for as long as FF has existed, Jason. There are legitimate reasons to rebel against social media's version of Microsoft.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
You either love it or hate it but you can't do without it once you get entangled.
- Bill Masson
With respect to all the opinions, and as much as I resisted creating a Facebook account myself, can one really deny the fact that Facebook, with all it's faults, is really where most of "the action" is these days?
- Kittyburgers
from IM
@Kittyburgers (love that name, by the way). If you're younger, it's almost, unequivocally, where all the action is. More specifically, those of us that have grown up with it as our primary social network from the start. It's really hard to move all 200 people from high school and 150 people from college to a different network, when they themselves have people that won't move. Where else would they go anyway?
- Clark Baumgartner 蔵明 馬武刀
Seriously? Wow. But how will you play Mafia Wars? Or build your L'il Green Patch or know which character you are in a TV series that you never watch?
- Kevin Pedraja
Every day I go to Facebook and there is more crap. Today? No, I don't want to "become a fan" of Mafia Hot Models. No I don't want to Vote for Cathy to be the next Panasonic LiHD Insider! No, I don't want to become a fan of "Six Degrees Of Separation - The Experiment". I don't want the "yacht game invitation" or the "zynga poker gift request," etc. I shouldn't have to continuously clear all this spam crap off my page. I should be able to push a single button and have all of it disappear forever.
- Thomas Hawk
I've gotten into the habit of blocking everything. Probably hundreds of things by now, and it starts to be come manageable. There are only so many "applications" my friends can use. Some of the other stuff is strictly ads, like "Become a fan of X because Y and Z did," which can't be avoided unless you're using an adblocker (which may or may not block those...,).
- Clark Baumgartner 蔵明 馬武刀
I did that once. Ultimately I re-activated it but set everything so that basically people can send me messages, and nothing else. Every so often someone from the past pops up & it's worth it, I guess.
- Lo
Account Temporarily Unavailable. Your account is currently unavailable due to a site issue. We expect this to be resolved shortly. Please try again in a few minutes. Uh oh. I hope someone at Facebook isn't pissed at me.
- Thomas Hawk
The other thing Facebook should let you block is all friend suggestions from either Facebook or other users. These are a pain too.
- Thomas Hawk
the other thing is you should be allowed to block all events out of your immediate area or at least out of California. It's really hard to tell where some of the events that you get invited to are and I can already tell you I'm not going to the social networkers anonymous black tie masquerade party in Miami Florida next month. Why should I even be forced to look at these. Couldn't facebook simply filter out all non California events at my request?
- Thomas Hawk
I wasn't speaking about you specifically Akiva so it's wasn't a "try". You have your own reasons to dislike Facebook and some of them may be valid. My point is that, like music or tv, if you don't like a specific band or show you just don't watch/listen. That is not the case here. Instead of just not using Facebook you found it necessary to announce it. Why is that? I'm sure it's a...

Adam, yep agree. Maybe because I did that (month ago though) helped me get mine through from Vijay so quickly!

@Kol, the invitation process seems to be based on nominations. For example, everytime someone nominates/invites you, you get bumped up the queue for an account until you're at the top and you get sent an invite by the team

How does anyone know if someone has already been invited? You could go back and edit your comment when you receive an invitation, but since that takes days, it could be ages before you know.

I've not even had a nomination, RK. At google dot com I'm suezanne , in the event anyone wants to make a nomination. I've asked before on friendfeed. It's kind of humiliating to beg.

I'll wager that some of the folks on this list have received their invite by now, or no longer want one - I have 16 invitations at this instant. It's probably easier for me if you DM.

My friend Terri just called to tell me. She was freaking out. Technology just bit me in my ass!

Rick Schmidt (http://friendfeed.com/rickjafo), I am deputizing you to acquire these images so they don't fall into the wrong hands. As soon as your find them, send them to me and after an inspection to ensure that they are authentic we will make sure they are safe.
- RAPatton
I believe I will hold them for ransom but can you really put a price on these pictures?
- Rick Schmidt
Exactly, Rick. They are priceless, like the lost Ark, and as such you need to procure them so we can bury them in a warehouse somewhere
- RAPatton
You are correct sir. Lindsey, it said "What you up to? Let's hook up." I swoon!
- Michelle Marie Miller
I am shocked that your clothes are still on, and you are not in his arms already! Are you one of the 'les-b-ians' ? If you hold out any longer he might not let you see the gun show

I know right? He has NO guns but a big gut. We all when to the pool a couple of times. Whoa! When he took off his shirt...
