Well really the problem with Facebook is that's too complex.

Though I'd agree there are non-sys admin problems that people have, but the worst problems are all sys. admin type ones, viruses, out of space, slowness.

The user-space stuff is nice to have, though the movies tend to have some impressive visualization and lots of data (like floorplans, schematics etc.) in order to show things like that. Facebook could maybe show a picture of your 500 friends and say "sending..." though.



You almost make it sound like it would only show you it's going out to 500 friends _after_ you clicked the button. :D


Well a decent undo would fix that


Undo is good, but I can't help but chuckle at the thought of "Whoops! He's not really my boyfriend" going out to 500 acquaintances 20 seconds after the opposite statement.


Exactly.
