What The $#@! Happened To Facebook?
Sabrina Cognata

I know I’m not alone in this ’cause everyone I have ever met is complaining about how terrible these “great new layout changes” on Facebook are. Which begs the question, were any changes necessary to begin with? People were dropping MySpace like flies because it had become outdated and lacked the essential user friendly qualities that Facebook offered.

First there was the initial layout change on Facebook. It was sort of worthless, but at least you could choose to ignore certain people’s status updates and certain types of updates. Let’s face it, I’ll never care about the fact that some chick I went to elementary school with has taken every movie quiz on the planet. The initial layouts saving grace was the fact that you could fine tune what and who you wanted to ignore. The fact that everything else in the layout was a piece of crap could be ignored due to that.

Then there was this last layout change that went through about a week ago. Honestly, what is up with the morons that run Facebook? Didn’t they understand that all the complaining about the layout was because people wanted things back the way they were? Now we don’t even have the option to cipher through the countless amounts of stupid updates and changes to people’s profiles. There’s probably a total of TEN people I even care about on Facebook. I mean that in the deepest, most caring way. And they’re probably the only people I could put up with having to see every last one of their stupid updates. Otherwise, I don’t care to know that you’re in a relationship or that you just had Pinkberry. I just don’t care.

The way things are now, people are waiting for the next big thing in social networking, which appears to be Twitter. I’ll leave you with the last status update my friend Riley made because I think it says everything everyone feels: “To Mark Zuckerberg: Seriously. Can you tell us the number you need for us to get – posts, petitions, what have you – to stop this idiocy you think is an upgrade? Is it a million? Two million. Say the number. You’ll get it in a day. Or just let us know what moron on your team told you this was a good idea so I can send him a flaming bag of poo.”

Feel free to click on Mark’s link and tell him what you think as well. Everyone should. And then follow AMPRadio on Twitter.
