Posted October 1, 2011 Well then how the fuck can people complain about them? I wish there were free buses near me. I can see how they might be annoying to cars, but a lot of car drivers use the excuse of "I'd use public transport if it was cheaper". Now there's no excuses (for people on bendy routes). They've killed enough cyclists to warrant being removed from the streets of a city that does not suit them. I've actually been on a bendy bus that got stuck for about ten minutes because it couldn't physically turn a corner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 1, 2011 Are you saying that these "bendy buses" have a higher kill ratio than regular buses? I want proof. PROOF I SAY! I don't really, ignore me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lorries are far more dangerous to cyclists than buses are (5 times more dangerous according to the british medical journal). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 1, 2011 http://uktransport.wikia.com/wiki/London_articulated_bus_controversy And the thing is we can't really help the design of lorries whereas bendy buses are a recent and unnecessary introduction, though. Anyway, back to the Facebook. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 1, 2011 But that doesn't take into account the routes that bendy buses do. When you do, there's very little difference between them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 1, 2011 I wouldn't be surprised to see Spotify "fix" the Facebook/Spotify account thing in a couple months. It's a good way to get a rush of new users. And Stephen Fry can kiss my ass. He likes those awful bendy buses. Unless you're using the iPhone app. Also, it doesn't remember it's set to private so you have to do it every time you log on. I hope this is fixed. The only issue at the moment is that Spotify can get things fixed but they have to wait for Facebook too, which halts the process. It should be, I'm sure things will work out eventually. As to Stephen Fry, I never hear about him raving about Spotify before the change, so it was nice of him to stick his oar in. I was pretty disappointed, I'm a massive fan of his.

Posted October 2, 2011 Realistically, the only reason I use facebook at the moment is to play a chess app, which I could use direct on the chess.com website. I used to like catching up on pictures and statuses of people but I do really feel that the news feed makes it more difficult and generally makes the whole facebook experience a lot less trivial. I'm seriously considering getting all my pics off the site (to maintain a copy, as I've been through a few laptops/computers and don't generally have copies of them anymore) and just leaving facebook. But then again, I really feel like I'm being an old man with how I approach the whole thing. I don't use modern social networking to any sort of personal advantage. I'd rather retreat and just use whatever services the internet provides if and when I need them. Facebook's IM/chat system is pretty much all that keeps me there, after chess. There's like 3 people I chat to frequently... bleh. Just... bleh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 2, 2011 By the way - Spotify has a feature now called Private listening, if you start to listen to stuff you don't want n-e knowing about - mostly to appease people like Charlie, before this you could setup certain things to private. Also Spotify racked in a ridiculous amount of new users with the facebook thing, they've certainly not shot themselves in the foot by any means. :P No idea what anyone else has said in the thread, and I'm steaming, but the private listetning is alll I was looking for so I'm happy and I"ll lett it ocnenct to Facebook acgain so Ic can see what m yfriends ar doing.

Posted October 2, 2011 Don't really like the news feed as I preferred seeing the Recent Stories at the top rather than the stories Fb deems important. Is there a way yet to limit what Facebook friends can see on your wall? Like I might not want work colleagues seeing what family members post to it. Or even be able to track down family members via my friends list? I like privacy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The private listening was always going to be a feature, so it's good it's sorted. I've not used it as I'm not bothered at all, but let me know how it goes. It's quite funny how it wasn't just Spotify that was merging with Facebook, there were other companies too, but because Daniel spoke at the f8 conference and none of the others did, people keep forgetting about them.

Posted October 2, 2011 I suppose it's because no other company hooked their future onto Facebook as much as Spotify did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
