Comments on: Top Friends Gets Demoted: Socialistics is Now My Favorite http://facereviews.com/2007/08/31/top-friends-gets-demoted-socialistics-is-now-my-favorite/ Tue, 19 Aug 2008 21:12:45 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Ron Carstens http://facereviews.com/2007/08/31/top-friends-gets-demoted-socialistics-is-now-my-favorite/#comment-5001 Ron Carstens Mon, 10 Sep 2007 17:28:49 +0000 http://facereviews.com/2007/08/31/top-friends-gets-demoted-socialistics-is-now-my-favorite/#comment-5001 Personally, I think Buddy List is the best friends app (see link above). I'm surprised you still haven't reviewed it. It has a very clean look, it's simple, and it does its job extremely well. It allows me to put my friends into one or more groups that I name. When I click on a friend's name, his picture appears as well as links to his profile, wall, poke, email, etc. I can give nicknames to my friends. I tried Socialistics but I kept getting php errors so I uninstalled it immediately. Top Friends only gives you access to 32 friends and instead of linking you to friends' walls, poke, etc., it forces you to install super poke and super wall and all those bloated crapps. On top of all that, it's very spammy and annoying. Personally, I think Buddy List is the best friends app (see link above). I’m surprised you still haven’t reviewed it.

I look forward to the Sub Groups and Socialysis features. Thanks for sharing it with us. This is a cool app. I may now be my favorite. I look forward to the Sub Groups and Socialysis features.

I just wanted something that has my friends in view where I can easily click through to the profile of those whose materials interest me the most. In my case, the Cloud view fits completely on my profile page, but the thumbnails don't, so I am using the Cloud. I only saw slowness the first time I loaded. I suspect that if I tell it to refresh, it will take a reasonable amount of time. It wasn't that bad the first time. More than I need, but a winner because it provides exactly what is helpful to me.

I'll check back again later. Screenshots look cool, but I’m getting a bunch of php errors when I try it. I’ll check back again later.

Sounds like a great application. I hope they work out the slow load kink. Slow loads can cause user flight. I never used the Top Friends program because I thought of it as a dis to my other "less popular" friends. I only have a handful, so each of them is equally special. Of course, people with too many to keep tabs may want to check this out. Wow. Sounds like a great application. I hope they work out the slow load kink. Slow loads can cause user flight.
