Let's make Facebook more fun

Ionut Oprea

This document discusses ways to make Facebook more fun. It suggests focusing on real sharing and interactions rather than aggressive advertising. Specific recommendations include letting people "like" posts just to show support rather than for voting, focusing Facebook events on actual attendance rather than just responses, and sharing more interesting personal content rather than things others ask you to share. The overall message is that Facebook should be about fun and real engagement between friends rather than things like contests or promotions.
