I like the new timeline layout. So There!

IT people never have enough to do, so they spend most of their time fixing things that are not broken.

I am guessing it is justification of their jobs.

The software works great... why change it?

HEY EBAY I'M LOOKING AT YOU.

Hey youtube and Twitter, I'm looking at you!

It feels incredibly laggy.

You'll get over it.

I'm unzipping my fly now.

I'm less interested in quitting because of changes and more interested in quitting on the thought a company is going to go public and possibly make 8b$ based on the collective ramblings of the average ding-dong.

Why yes, you are the product.

"Upgrade" usually means "you know all that stuff you can do really fast because you're familiar with the program and can almost do it automatically? Yeah, we're changing all that to something 99% different because we've got nothing better to do with our time".

Facebook gets less and less simple to use with each new feature. The new profile layout is terrible, pictures and information and other crap is just all over the place. This shiat is getting more and more like MySpace every year.

It's weird, but it's no MySpace. You never go full MySpace.

Precisely why so many tech "news" sites are writing these articles. They plan on buying as much FB stock as they can afford at the IPO, so it is in their interest to run a lot of negative stories about FB now in order to drive the IPO price down as much as possible by skewing public opinion and portraying it as being on its way "out". Once they have completed the IPO purchases these same media outlets will all be on the FB bandwagon trying to pump it up as much as possible.

Of course the only problem is that FB is on its way out because of increasingly risky data handling practices and policies. That is fine with most people when it comes to scientific data regarding shampoo tests, but when it is the users' personal data that is simply another story. It is the internet, and it is therefore easy to find a better alternative. Look how easy it was for everyone to find an alternative to MySpace. I sure wouldn't be putting my money into it. It is too much like vaporware, and isn't safe enough even over the medium term to seriously consider as an investment option. I think you will see a lot of quick sell offs after the initial buy, and in a year it will be about half of the IPO price.

meat0918: I like the new timeline, but the subscribe/unsubscribe thing has been pissing off more and more people. That, and Facebook is not your personal soapbox. I don't want to hear how much you "Love Gaga" or how much you "hate the *racial epitaph* president" (I have redneck family).

That, and I am simply amazed at how tight of an echo chamber you can create with Facebook anymore. Simply unsubscribe from or block that which you find offensive or counter to your beliefs and BAM! Self reinforcing bubble.

I just use it anymore because I am too lazy to bother sending photos to my family, and use it as a photo posting service. I should just transfer over to Flickr or something.

Epithet, bro, not epitaph!

Agreed with the bolded and I'm surprised no one is offering, or marketing in a higher visibility, an alternative to it yet. Including the concept of ads to support it, but privacy and your info is your privacy and info.

I for one am considering cancelling my facebook subscription over this.

Zuckerberg won't get another penny from me if he keeps changing things.

HEY EBAY I'M LOOKING AT YOU.

Really, what kind of slack ass website would change a layout and functionality that everyone is used to and comfortable with?

Timeline, which lists all your activity on the site in chronological order

Didn't Facebook already list your activity in chronological order? Also, timeline sucks.

Facebook's IT department is not responsible for the design or implementation of Facebook's interface.

You're using Facebook wrong (you are supposed to make the cheque out to me...)

Timeline is stupid. And rather creepy.

Yea but Timeline makes it super easy for someone to click thru and read all that shiat. Deactivated mine a few months ago - I highly recommend it. You wouldn't believe how liberating it is.

Beat me to it. Which is obvious when you look at it in timeline view.

Heh, that's funny because Fark.com did that a fe...**BANNED**

what is this facebrook i hear so much of?

The timeline makes a nice alternative way to view profiles, but it's terrible as default(and only) view. It did make me realize how much stuff I put on Facebook, so I deleted my old account, waited the two weeks for it to be done then opened up a new one.

Subby sounds like a Psych 101 student who's usually too busy protesting the 1% at Starbucks.

lohphat: It's been two years since I deleted (not just disabled) my FB account.

I was tired of setting my "security settings" only to have them reset after the next "upgrade".

Never looked back.

Tried G+ for a month. Nope. Not doing this again. Baleted.

Interestingly enough, that new Google tracking cookie has no info, not even an age range guessed.

That's incredible. Well done. You deserve a pat on the back. Congratulations.

That does it. I am going to post an angry comment about the timeline in my timeline today!

Facebook is farking terrible. Their 'artist' page is laughable, and they manage to get worse with every new feature and revamp.

Facebook has become slow to load, glitchy and just downright a pain to use. They've kind of done the whole "Firefox 4" thing, where there's so many add-ons and such that the entire thing slows to a crawl and doesn't work well anymore.

Unfortunately, it's the only way to connect regularly with most of my family that lives 2,000 miles away. So for now I'm just putting up with it.

/Really hoping for a more simple and streamlined social network to comes along soon.
//tempted to just build it myself, but I'm lazy.
///Google+ doesn't seem like a good fit from what I've seen of it.

Exactly. What initially drew me to Facebook was the clean simpleness, as opposed to the eye-raping atrocities known as MySpace pages.
