I would like to be able to be added (or add) without Facebook too. I've no interest in using Facebook at all.

Just get your programmers moving on getting Waze up to being a standalone program without piggybacking off Facebook for the "friends" feature. That's one aspect of Waze I (along with a lot of others) do not like. Is this even in the works?

I'm also interesting, I convince many friends to use waze but we don't have a FB account... And we don't want to have one.

You mean instead of building their own social network infrastructure? I would much rather the app remain focused on driving than social networking.

There is a pretty granular level of control you can establish with Facebook - that is, who can see what. You can create custom lists there.

On the other hand, if you have 10,000 "friends" on Facebook....

travtufts wrote:True, Facebook allows you to group people into various lists and apply custom privacy settings to those lists. But I don't believe Waze allows you the same benefit when in the app. That is, I can control when Waze posts on Facebook and to whom, but I can't control other "friends" that are Wazers seeing me while in the app. I'd be very happy if this wasn't the case, but as far as I can tell, it is.
Facebook allows you to restrict posts from an application to a custom group. Or at least, it seems/claims to. I have not tested it.

Interesting thought. Facebook is NOT required. Whatever gave you that idea?

I would also like to have this functionality without FB. I can't stand how everyone is integrating with FB now!
