I've had varying comments about Facebook's usability.

I think it's pretty easy, although some things like 'how do you know this person' sucks. And if you don't verify your account the kapchas are painful.

Any thoughts?

I've heard some people find it slow too.

I am having issues with it at the moment, I am receiving emails saying people have posted comments but when I go to my page there is no new comments at all. I think it takes a while to get use to it, it's not the easiest network to navigate

How do you verify your account.  Is it possible to get rid of the CAPTCHAs?

I keep getting new friends whom I just don't know. I allow them and say hello, then they disappear.

Maybe it's just me?

I find it easy but a friend of mine doesn't like it and is confused by it.

The only thing I've really found that I don't like so far is that there's no way to keep track for friends requests.  I've had a request that's been either denied or been sitting around too long without acceptance (if that's possible) but I wouldn't have known without searching for the person again.

And yeah.. the CAPTCHAs are annoying, as is the need to give my work email address to join the network.  There's a certain amount of private information that I'm not willing to give to the site and phone numbers and work email is across the line...

@Draigwen

You don't have to give them your work e-mail addy? Least I didn't. You should be able to give them any address eg: a devoted GMail address.

Your friend requests should turn up on your e-mail in box list, unless you disable the function.

A lot of the information given can be subsequently deleted.

@John

To join the work Network you do have to give a work email addy, just like to join a school Network you'd have to give an existing school email address.  I've used a facebook@mydomain address to sign up with, but just can't use that to join the work Network.

And re the friend requests, it's not the requests themselves that I want, it's notification of when they've not been accepted or when they've been expired - I'm getting notifications of requests and of acceptances.

Ah, to join the WORK network, yes I see your point there. As with the School network.

The friend request problem seems universal to all social networking sites.

I think it's one of the easiest sites to use. You can get a site up and pimped-to-the-gills with apps in no time.
