Facebook’s news feed is inaccurate!

Written by Uthfull on May 26, 2008 – 2:05 am

A couple of days ago (May 22nd to be precise), I logged into my facebook account. As I was going through the News Feed on the home page, I noticed this :

Facebook - News Feed 1

Look carefully at the news in the red box. It tells me that a guy named Vishal Kharbanda has accepted my invitation to join Facebook. Now this set my alarm bells ringing. Why? Because I don’t know any Vishal Kharbanda and have never invited anybody by this name.

So, just to investigate further, I clicked on the guys name. A box popped up.

Facebook - News Feed 2

Had the dude been my friend, his profile would’ve opened up instead of this box. I saw that we had one friend in common. I clicked on “1 mutual friend” and it revealed the thumbnail of one of my friend. So, my friend had invited Mr. Vishal but Facebook incorrectly shows me that I have invited the guy.

The conclusion: Facebook is already messed up with thousands of useless apps and now they post incorrect information to your news feed. Way to go.
