Stop f***ing up Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg!
All I want to do is RSVP to party invites, spy on my ex-boyfriend and LOL at the inane things all my high school friends are saying, and you keep sorting my friends into coach and first class and Hufflepuff and people I’ve slept with and people who will never sleep with me in a million years and Calvinists and douchebags and oversharing pregnant ladies.
Are you guys confused, too? Is this the worst thing ever? I mean, no. But feel free to follow me and Beca on Twitter, where life seems to have purpose and meaning!

I’ve never complained about an update in my life because, in my opinion, they had better utility and design but this time it makes absolutely no sense. All I ask for is order and now there is chaos. Nothing is in chronological order and I don’t care what pictures the person I haven’t talked to since high school is commenting on.

The changes will take some getting used to but everything changes.
guest
Lol I agree with you. I go on there and there is something new blocking me from doing my usual! I like consistency and stability, they’re ruining my mental well being.
guest
Normally everyone gets used to the changes after a while, but I don’t understand what the feed is in the right corner that tells me all the exact same things that the main news feed tells me. I wish there were a way to personalized it so if I don’t want that section to show, it doesn’t have to. My status on facebook right now is “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”
guest
They’re always upgrading and whatnot. Just when I had my privacy settings neatly done, they screwed it up again. URGH.

LOL Calvinists – thank goodness for Twitter! @sari_ramirez
guest
I signed on, quickly got frustrated and signed off. Darn you, facebook! lol Just leave good enough alone, already!
guest
I feel like people just keep getting more ways to facebook stalk me.
guest
lololol oversharing pregnant ladies
guest
I normally don’t really mind when facebook updates. But this time… I don’t get it.
guest
Haha when I signed on this morning my entire news feed was filled with long status updates complaining about the changes. The supid thing in the right hand corner is REALLY annoying. I can’t stand it. All if my friends have up and moved to google + and twitter.
guest
The new format is too cluttered and I’m not a big fan of the scrolling newsfeed on the right hand side of the home page. Also increasing the size of everyone’s pictures has made my news feed longer and I have to scroll through tons and tons of random shit to get to the stuff I actually want. All this makes me want to do is trim my friends list down to twenty people and attempt to move everyone to Google Plus.

I freaking hate the new facebook. If I didn’t live a thousand miles away from my family and friends I would delete my account because of these new changes.
guest
There’s been some talk (via a Twitter trending topic) that Facebook is beginning to go the way of MySpace. Apparently — from what I hear, anyway, as I was never big on MySpace — right before MySpace fell apart it started updating a lot. Perhaps Google+ picked the right moment to appear?

I HATE IT. Fuck top stories. I’ve never complained about any of the other facebook changes until now. I am not a fan of the updating feed on the top right…creepy, for real.
@beca - I LOVE THE NOT GARY BUSEY TWITTER HOW ARE YOU SO COOL

I agree that I hate the sorting! Layout changes are whatever. But I want to stalk all of my Facebook friends, not just the ones FB thinks are important!
guest
I miss the old myspace because you were able to be creative and it was all really simple.

I fucking hate Facebook. They change it every 3 months. It’s so annoying. The only reason I’m on it is because my friends don’t know how to keep in touch with me without it. But I only go on it to see when they need something when we’re not together. I avoid it otherwise. IT SUCKS.
guest
The new facebook literally gives me a headache. It is overloaded with information!! I don’t care if one of my friends liked this persons status who I DONT EVEN KNOW!!!!!!!! Keep it simple! Luckily, I have the arms of twitter out stretched for me. @RayRay0916
guest
I hate the new layout.
guest
it was bound to happen. why doesn’t everyone just shut the fuck up about it? mmk

I actually like it. It’s less cluttered though the only thing I would love to get rid of is the updates at the top/those notifications. I don’t mind the side scrolling one but the thing is..everything changes.
guest
So much dislike. They’re gunna be the new myspace if they aren’t careful, hahaha

I’m just waiting for the first week of December (when we finish our semester) to come by so I can deactivate my account. I use facebook mostly to get organized (I’m trying to say “ponerme de acuerdo”) with teammates for projects and homeworks.
Once the semester is over, I’ll close it and just migrate to Google+
guest
I think he’s doing this just to fuck with us. I mean really, every time something changes people flip out, and yet they keep changing shit. I’m waiting for them to hit the breaking point, where a lot of people say “fuck it” and quit facebook.
guest
the only thing thats confusing is the way they have the news feeds set up.
stupid
guest
This post was awesome! thanks for the laugh!
guest
I hate itt!! Its more cluttered..top news is dumb and I don’t care if my friends are commenting on other people’s status/photos that I dont know! lame.
guest
They know that too many people are connected to mass quit and we’re talking about them. I think it’s a success.
guest
I had to laugh when I clicked on “top stories” the whole “story” part was a lie.
guest
I just don’t understand FB anymore.
guest
I think its creepy now, and there is ZERO privacy.
I know, why would I want privacy on a social network? because I’m only on it to stalk YOU, not for you to stalk me, duh.
guest
I hate it. Once more people move over to Google+ I just might shut down my account. I’ve never really felt this way about an update before. It’s like it tried imitating Google+ but without the same control over privacy (I mean yeah, privacy is disappearing but Google doesn’t seem to be deciding what your privacy settings should be like FB) and a newsfeed that picks which friends are most important to see and isn’t chronological. I especially can’t stand the lack of a chronological news feed. Plus that ticker is redundant when I’m on the news feed yet I can’t get it to go away.
guest
I don’t like how it is so much more stalkerish now. Makes me scared to make statuses or comment on peoples posts!

Sounds like this company is creating reasons for people to keep their jobs rather than just saving some time and money. So inefficient.
guest
I don’t have a Facebook, so I wouldn’t know. If you don’t like it, just leave. Oh, wait, you’re all addicted. Sorry, I forgot the world revolves around Facebook now.

Facebook doesn’t care so much because they know you’re still going to use it anyways. This is nothing new as every major update to the site has been received with waves of harsh criticism powerful enough to make national news. I remember the huge outcry against the MiniTab back in 2006, which was nothing more than a prototype feature for showing your friends’ status and picture updates. Now we all act like it’s a natural part of the site.
Of course, I’m sure there are many who wish Facebook just remained what it started out as: A way for college students to meet their fellow peers from their campus and from other campuses.

What do you mean, ‘the new Facebook’? I’m not seeing a difference at all.
