Yeah my top story yesterday was people bitching about the changes. I won't even bother checking it anymore, too much of a mess to sort through now.

Ohh also you can create a list for just updates (no games) and you can create another list for games, keep the two seperated.

I'm really not a big Google+ fan, but at least it's not offensive at this point.

Google+ not offensive?

It was annoying but then again I never use the main home page for the most part and think of it like this:

The again I really only play a few games there and the game bar they added awhile ago was easy enough to remove with adblock + element hider.

I am one step away from paying for my own email hosting. Gmail and Homail suck, anything that is free always makes me wonder.

The new changes were so bad I experienced an actual, physical 'anger' moment. Just no reason for that kind of thing. I really enjoyed being able to connect with friends old and new, and in the last few years it had become the primary communication tool for me. I sent FB a nice little informational message about what they could do with their 'update'.

I'm really not a big Google+ fan, but at least it's not offensive at this point. Huge number of others I'm friends with have done the same. I'd love to see some subscriber and use numbers for the two services before and after the new system.
The drama of an Internet Geek.:whiste:

Facebook is fine if you just use it to keep in touch with friends and family large distances away, at least that's what I use it for. I could give a shit how they change the format.

I hate how facebook keeps changing stuff. It's like youtube, why do these keep changing for the worse? They were fine when they first came out.

I hardly go on facebook anyway, so my care factor is rather low.

Yeah that thing is starting to get on my nerves. It was "cool" at first, but it just wont go away now. In fact I hate how I have to be "logged in" to Google search now. If I log out, I just end up being logged back in next time I check Adsense or something. I guess I can't complain too much about a company giving me 100 bucks per month for free. :biggrin:

My local news had a feature this evening on how much people hate the facebook changes. Pretty sure the next step is riots.

Kinda makes you wonder why a company like facebook goes out of their way to make changes that nobody likes anyway. I can't see how it's somehow making them more money, or otherwise has any advantage whatsoever to them.

why don't you try proving yourself right first.

Barr had been interested in social media for quite some time, believing that the links it showed between people had enormous value when it came to mapping networks of hackers—and when hackers wanted to target their victims. He presented a talk to a closed Department of Justice conference earlier this year on "specific techniques that can be used to target, collect, and exploit targets with laser focus and with 100 percent success" through social media.

If you think this is the only guy thinking of this, think again. Also, cop outs saying "I have nothing to hide" don't hold water. EVERYBODY has something to hide. All it takes is the government legislating that particular piece of your life to start being relevant.

facebook just can't sit still. change can be good, but too much change doesn't let any one get comfortable. for some reason they think they have to change it up constantly.

OP, as for deleting your facebook, i applaud your new found freedom. :thumbsup:
