It was already unsettling that hundreds of people could pull your profile and see what you're up to. Who you're dating, what you're doing with your free time, what classes you're taking, etc. Its strange to have that kind of contact with your friends. It was okay though, because the only people who saw were people who took the time to look. This has changed now. Every time you change your profile, it is going to be plastered on the "news feed" of all your friends. Meaning, those people you don't talk to anymore or try your best to avoid...they are now going to be made aware of every change you make. Every photo. Every friend. Every comment. Every errant change in your relationship status.
I am not comfortable with this.
No one I've talked to this morning is comfortable with this.
Facebook does not have a "contact us" option on the website either. So all I know to do is call for a boycott of Facebook.com until further notice. Spread the word.
It is not that I'm resistant to change, I consider myself pretty adept at adjusting to change. This is not about it being "different" it is about it being "worse".
This has to stop. Facebook, you've batted 1.000 until now, but you just struck out. Now the test is, can you adjust your swing and get back in the game, or are you going to go into a slump that makes the world turn its back in favor of something less savory.
You've been a refuge to those of us with enough education to avoid "myspace", where the HS grads of the world spend their time and energy creating profiles that are too "fancy" to read, and posting pictures that demonstrate that they have just as little respect for themselves as we have for them. Don't make us go there. Things were so good.
Facebook...You're on notice.
Stay Tuned...
