WEST SEATTLE, Washington, July 25, 2010 (WSFB) – Facebook has permeated every aspect of human life across the globe and has become the mechanism through which people connect with new friends and reconnect with old ones.

Originally designed by Mark Zuckerberg as means for college folk to connect with one another, Facebook has blossomed into a titanic cloud-based application with more than 500 million users and has transcended the now archaic paradigms of social media and social networking.

Not only can you connect with friends, fan pages, and entities (businesses, bands, personalities, celebrities, etc.), you can play a myriad of online games that are under constant development and keep yourself entertained – and your friends annoyed with relentless updates – for days and weeks on end.

However, it’s not all fun and games. Some folks take what Facebook has to offer seriously and utilize it as a means to promoting their product and/or brand.

The Funblog leans heavily on Facebook as a means to share blog posts, event information, to spread the word about opportunities for folks to get involved in their community.

A huge part of this process is tagging via update as it allows one to tag or call out friends by posting tagged content directly on said friends’ wall. Pretty cool functionality – if it works.

Recently, we’ve been unable to perform this operation and it has hobbled our efforts to connect with friends; in essence disabling our ability to cross-post or interact with people we’re trying to help. But we’re not the only one affected by this technical issue. Out of nearly 3,300 comments posted to the Facebook announcement of tagging via update functionality, there appear to be thousands of users experiencing the same issue.

There have been no formal announcements from Facebook in this regard and people are starting to get pissed. And rightfully so.

When you rub the public clitoris, you’re going to get a response and most of the time that response is going to be, “oooh…do that again!” People want Facebook to work so they can keep coming back time and time again to satiate their lust for attention and need for companionship.

One might speculate that an undocumented policy may exist that puts the kibosh on tagging capabilities once a user has exceeded a certain (undisclosed) threshold of x tags per month, but who the fuck really knows? It’s not as if Mark Zuckerberg will acknowledge the issue exists or provide a solution. We’d love to hear something like, “…you get what you pay for, and you should be happy for what you’ve got.” At least then we’d know where we stand as 500 million plus users that have turned Facebook into one of the most powerful and profitable Internet entities in human history.

So the ball is in your court, Facebook. Help people understand where your loyalties lie and do a better job of providing support to your customers – the people that “like” paid advertisements and support the businesses that promote themselves through your application.

Be honest with people and their loyalty will become unwavering.
