Dear Facebook, please fix the duplicate names bug NOW. XOXO :-) LOL

It would be very cool, borderline awesome if Facebook decided to fix the annoying problem they have with duplicate names.

Let me clarify: there’s a guy in Italy called Luca Candela, just like me, and he’s uploading videos of his snowboard stunts all the time. While I can enjoy some snowboard videos here and there (I used to be a snowboarder when I had better knees and more time) I definitely don’t like being spammed by his friends’ comments all the time.

It’s baffling how a company of that magnitude decided to match people and accounts by using a simple string compare… really? That’s an amateurish mistake, and it’s been like that for as long as I can remember.

Do I have to change my name to get some peace?

About Luca Candela

Born in Italy, after studying computer science in Torino, Italy, I moved to Madrid where I worked as a graphic designer, multimedia specialist, then project manager in the localization field. The tides of destiny brought me to the sunny Orange County, California, where I live, work and blog about Project Management, User Experience and graphic design.
