    I left MySpace when Uncle Rupert bought them. I stopped fussing with Facebook after the press started accessing photographs to add to news stories. I'll give Twitter a shot but frankly - I feel safest here at Snark Central where the beer is cold and nobody knows my name.

    People who are upset over changes to Facebook need to get a life. In real life YOU actually get to control the features. Imagine that! What will they think of next?

    So is there a way to see when people add friends? Because that was how I found some people I haven't seen in years and how people have found me too.

    Personally, if you're on facebook, you're a fucking loser.


    Day by day, this is proven. Facebook users perceive themselves as a "Clean" and "Elitist" site. Well, now we all know why the world isn't run by juvenile college shits in glorified chatrooms.


    I haven't used facebook in 2 years. If this is what matters to you, you live a dismal life. Yes, you have a voice, but no one cares.

    @Widget Economist: To clarify, I mean you're a loser by virtue of DNA and natural selection. Not just you being on facebook. Facebook is the "telling point" of your genetic abnormality.


    Also it's your bad personality and poor music taste.

    Wow. Bitter much?


    Not to mention out of touch. "Well, now we all know why the world isn't run by juvenile college shits in glorified chatrooms" Except for the whole social networking (and specifically some of the people behind facebook) being a HUGE factor in Obama getting elected, the majority of media people being on facebook and/or twitter, major companies getting behind facebook as a means of connecting with consumers, etc. etc.


    You being too old/bitter/pretentious to effectively use facebook doesn't mean that it's not a revolutionary social tool that is becoming an ever more integral part of life.

    @mattymcd: Let me be more specific. Gawker: I love you, you're perfect, don't ever change. But let's be serious, the last redesign of this very site pushed it straight into some serious twitter territory. And I'm not complaining about, in fact I like it, but let's leave the kettle out of this, OK pot?

    I hope they're listening...the other day they added your own profile pic to EVERY comment box in the feed, people freaked out and by the end of the day they were gone. It gives me a slight ray of hope.

    I would say the problem is that they took away some of the sorting control. They already had a live feed under one of the tabs in their previous system. Before I had tabs where I could look at just status feeds, or just photos, etc etc. That worked. Why don't they find a happy medium between the old facebook and the new facebook? Rounded corners & design changes to don't bother me, but the loss of some features that I used all the time plus the difficulty of finding certain features makes this a lose. There are some nice new features with the new facebook, keep those, but give me my tabs and everything back.

    @Cassi Haggard: Try creating friend groups as a form of filtering. I find that a great way to review what my close friends, coworkers, and other are doing, all in a batch, and quickly.

    I hate that it doesn't seem to let you edit down the amount of status updates you receive from annoying people who post 3 times a day. Before, you could just hit "see less about X" - now the only way to clean up your page is to de-friend them, which is kinda harsh.

    @automata: Got it. So maybe my gripe stems as much from my computer aptitude than the redesign. But I'll still jump on the anti-redesign bandwagon anyway, because I am inherently cranky and enjoy having things to complain about.

    @ChanRasit: After getting used to the last change and actually getting more addicted, I wasn't against them changing it up again. But I have been trying to give this one a chance, and I just don't want to use it. Maybe now I'll check it like twice a day, or just log on when I see an email notification. All the addictive gossipy little things I loved in the live feed are completely gone, so it's of no use to my procrastination anymore.

    The worst thing about the redesign is people's quiz results showing up constantly in the news feed because people have nothing better to do than to take pointless quizzes. I think earlier there was a quota of how many of these useless results would be shown on the main news feed page.

    @automata: See, but that makes me not see things about that person anymore, not that kind of message. So while I may not care that my high school crush should live in Australia, I still very much want to see his cute ass tagged in random pictures.

    @HeyThatsMyBike: @automata: Yes, those quiz results will continue to silently mock me. Clicking the "X" is throwing the girl I secretly like out with the proverbial bathwater. The question is whether I would want to be with someone who obviously enjoys completing inane and vaguely exhibitionistic Facebook quizzes.
