		<description>Dear facebook,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I have discovered several severe holes in the site that should have been caught by&lt;br&gt;Quality Assurance, but somehow have slipped through and remain on the site.&lt;br&gt;These are not security holes, but holes that are liable to&lt;br&gt;slowly erode the face of facebook and dissolve confidence in the product by&lt;br&gt;many members and most hurtful, non-members.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In the invite feature of fb, I accidentally accepted the fb&lt;br&gt;feature to invite every single person that I have every emailed, CCed, or BCed&lt;br&gt;in my entire life from Gmail. (hmm, a warning message would have been nice,&lt;br&gt;once clicked, surely I would not have wanted to do that.)&lt;br&gt;Once clicked, I immediately realized my mistake. After the initial&lt;br&gt;embarrassment of inviting my whole world, I got over it as &quot;oh well, my&lt;br&gt;mistake.&quot;&lt;br&gt;However, no daily email spam is sent out to these contacts, harassing&lt;br&gt;that they join! Many unpleasant folks have contacted me and are very irritated&lt;br&gt;at me and fb!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I found a way in fb to remove all of these accidental&lt;br&gt;invites, but it conveniently doesn&#039;t seem to work correctly.&lt;br&gt;The following process/path I used and the error that I was&lt;br&gt;confronted with:&lt;br&gt;facebook &gt; friends &gt; invite friends &gt; View all&lt;br&gt;invitations &gt;  Select: Not Yet Joined&lt;br&gt;:: Popup Delete Entries? &quot;Are you sure you want to delete these 100&lt;br&gt;entries from your Invitation History?&quot; Delete&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Oops!&lt;br&gt;&quot;Something went wrong. We&#039;re working on getting this&lt;br&gt;fixed as soon as we can. You may be able to try again.&quot; OK&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Could somebody else or a team of people, try hard to&lt;br&gt;improve this site with very simple enhancements?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Update: fb requires you delete these invites one by one. Deleted.&lt;br&gt;However, here it is a week later and the weekly fb spam has been sent&lt;br&gt;out to all of the formerly invited contacts again!!! What a joke!&lt;br&gt;Horrible business practice!!</description>

		<description>What you are asking for is micro collaborative filtering. I made a post about it following some insghts from sarahpcr (Dev @ Yahoo ).
http://ulik.typepad.com/leafar/2007/05/collaborative_m.html

I&#039;ve just discovered the preferences for the facebook minifeed it&#039;s actually very good. I am testing it. Rating people and tagging them would be very good too.

Enjoy the essential Web</description>
