Why I hate certain social networking sites
I really dislike Bebo at the moment. I once signed up there because someone else had a quiz online. A quiz I could only take if I was a member of Bebo. So I did. I myself also created a Bebo quiz for my friends there. But after the people had taken the test, I stopped using Bebo. Now, more than 2 years later, I tried logging in. I knew the mail address and username I used on Bebo, but the password I usually used for certain sites didn’t work on Bebo. The mail address had expired. It was an msn address I haven’t used for two years!
MSN and Hotmail became Live. So I tried logging in on Live. It failed. I tried recovering my password. And I spent the whole evening recovering it! Unbelievable. But eventually it worked, through the msn site itself, not through Live. After more than 10 attempts I could login again. So I did.
The only reason I needed that old msn address was because my Bebo account had been registered on that mail address. In order to recover my Bebo password, or at least reset it, I had to login on my old mail address.
The problem is solved. And I wonder why I even bothered. It’s not like I’m going to use Bebo any more than I already did. I just wanted my login back, so I could edit my account and use it on HelloTXT.
I clicked ‘Add Friends’. Stupid move. I filled in my mail address and looked up friends already on Bebo. I deselected everything else. I don’t want to invite people. I know how annoying that is. Plus I don’t feel the need to invite old acquaintances. But Bebo sent out an invitation to everyone in my address book! That’s just stupid! Now, hundreds of people have been invited. Even people I don’t even want to speak anymore. Great. Thanks a lot Bebo. It sucks. If I deselect everything, I do this for a reason!
*sigh*
So anyone who’s gotten an invitation from me through Bebo. Please do ignore it unless you want to be on Bebo and are still a close friend.
