Make it so people can set their profiles public so all your friends and family don't have to register to see everything.

You could argue that this destroys a lot of the privacy that FB has over MySpace, but who cares? Private by default, public if you want people to see things... What's the problem with that?

Some kind of last.fm widget or other "now playing" feature would be cool, although the lack of (auto-loading) profile songs is one of its advantages over Myspace.

I've just registered for a FB account yesterday, so I hope I'm not "wishing for something that already exists" :)

I hope there's a space somewhere on the Profile page that pulls updates (discussions, notes, walls, pictures) from the groups that we've joined.

For example, I participated in a discussion in one of the groups yesterday, and this morning, I had to go back to that particular group, and that particular discussion thread to see if anybody else had commented after I did.

So yea, an "updates" column would be good.

Or does this already exists? :)

An option to stay logged in - I find it infuriating that I have to log back in each and every separate time I try to use facebook. Get online in the morning, see someone's sent me a message, click the link... have to sign in.

Grrrr.

Notifications of activity in groups you're a member of (optionally) is something I miss.

@Cas

That seems to be the trend these days...no websites seem to let you stay logged in for more than a session anymore. Greasemonkey to the rescue, I suppose.

Does 9rules log you guys out?

Sometimes, yeah, it does.

If someone could track how long you are off the site before you are logged out that would be awesome because I never get logged out.

Scrivs, I normally last two days of constant sign-in, sometimes three if I'm lucky, before I get kicked out of 9rules.

This normally happens when I'm at work, have just typed a long response to something or even *gasp* an entire new note, and I never notice till I hit post... And everything's lost. Yes, this could be a lesson against Noting whilst at work, but either way, it bugs me. Not as much as Facebook not remembering me at all though.

Maybe having the option not to let them aggregate your personal information and sell it to large corporations?

Cas: Well that's even more weird cuz if you aren't logged in you shouldn't be able to type a Note until you login.

Lol - I do like having the odd problems. To be fair, that's probably more to do with work and their IE/caching policy than a 9rules thing. I check the page in the morning whilst logged in, then when I revisit in the afternoon I see the cached notes page and not the actual one. Hence not realising I'm not logged in.

The ability to customize my profile page beyond boring ass white and blue.

That's one of the things I like about FB over Myspace, though. At least if I click on a user's profile in Facebook I know I won't be assaulted by tables in 5% opacity, pages with animated gifs for backgrounds, among many of the other offenses Myspace users commit. Maybe if the customization were like Virb's inasmuch as it's damn difficult to violate others' eyeballs with your profile, I'd be accepting of it.

That's what I mean... I'm not talking MySpace customizability... just "color options", even limited ones even.

Agreed, thats one of the things I prefer about Facebook. No one is able to destroy the UI. MySpace had the "benefit" of having a terrible UI in the first place, so it isn't relevant there if people make it worse. Likewise, I'd prefer to avoid color options as well. Based on my friends that are on MySpace, most people aren't very good at picking colors.

*Tyme is glad someone else said they were logged off 9rules because Scrivs didn't thought it was my PC hahahaha

One thing I find odd. I don't hear anyone saying that Virb has ugly pages and they allow customization. Couldn't Facebook implement something like Virb or does Virb have ugly pages and no one is saying anything?
