Friendster Mobile is crying … because of you?

Ok boys and girls, listen to papa here. After I told you this one, please don’t try to sue FS mobile again. But if you still, go head cause they will answer you with the same stuff. At least after they had done with this.

Here is the excerpt from the FS Mobile FAQ:

Question:

Some of my testimonials, messages, or friends are missing. Or items I delete are back.

Answer:

Friendster has made a number of recent changes to our service to improve your experience and make things faster. One of those changes is to make sure that you are always connected to the fastest server we can provide you at any given moment. This change however means that as you move around on our service, you might be connected to a server that has not been updated with your latest data (like new messages or testimonials) or recent changes you made. The result is that you might see things missing from your profile, or added back to it, until all of our servers are updated with the changes to your profile. One thing you can do is simply use the refresh button on your browser to reload the page from a different server. Doing this once or more times should bring back your data. We are working on this particular issue right now and hope to have it cleared up soon.

All things run badly then …

Some of commentators in my previous blog posts always complained on the same issues:

1. I can’t see comments and testimonial (itha)
2. Same with itha … i can’t read any comments … (citra)
3. I CAN’T READ and REPLY MY COMMENT and TESTIMONIALS (Starr)
4. i cant see my whole comment (pradzt)
5. I CAN’T READ MY COMMENT N I CAN’T REPLAY IT .. (AndRiaNy)
6. Now I can’t read comments. (lou)

However, besides those honest sentences, there are still another serious problems too which I unfortunately can’t find it on the FAQ. This list below will be a good feedback for FS developers there. Enjoy this fellows:

1. can’t update with enjoyable, and the most important i can not go back to desktop version (itha)
2. please remove this irritating mobile version,or just give the user an option, desktop or mobile view (irsa)
3. Give me the better, the comfort. Not like this!

What next?

If only those commentators had lived on a startup daily life, sure they will have a better view to see this case. And if only I am one of those FS guy right now, I’ll take all of this “sucky stuffs” into a table with my team and start solving it with JSP or PHP, MySQl, Javascript, and off course CSS.

Note:

Perhaps all of us may have a better judgement after asking about FS to its cofounder, Jonathan Abrams. Wired had interviewed him nicely on July 2006. Read it.

Be patients guys!
