Yeah, the new look has problems. Yeah, they should just leave a good thing alone. All that rings true, but those things aren&#8217;t the real problem with Facebook. The New York Times did <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2009\/03\/29\/technology\/internet\/29face.htm\" target=\"_blank\">a nice story<\/a> on the site this weekend, and the real problem became readily apparent.<\/p>\n<p>People like Liz Rabban are the real problem with Facebook.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Ms. Rabban, 40, a real estate agent and the mother of two from Livingston, N.J., joined the site in November 2007, quickly amassing 250 friends and spending hours on the site each day.<\/p>\n<p>But these days, she spends less time on the site and posts caustic comments about Facebook\u2019s new design, which turns a majority of every user\u2019s home page into a long \u201cstream\u201d of recent, often trivial, Twitter-like updates from friends.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe changes just feel very juvenile,\u201d Ms. Rabban says. \u201cIt\u2019s just not addressing the needs of my generation and my peers. In my circle, everyone is pretty devastated about it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Devastated? Really, Liz? Devastated by changes in Facebook. And not just you, but &#8220;everyone&#8221; in your circle. Facebook hurting the feelings of you and 250 other people qualifies as devastation?<\/p>\n<p>Devastation is the death of a parent, a diagnosis of a fatal disease for a child, the destruction of a house via tornado, the sudden loss of a job in a bad economy. Those things devastate people. Changes in Facebook are annoying, not devastating. Like <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Inigo_Montoya\" target=\"_blank\">Inigo Montoya<\/a> said, &#8220;You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I agree, Liz, the home page can be a pain in the butt, but they have already instituted a few changes. In the meantime, I suggest you get some perspective, deal with it and look into starting your own social networking site if someone else&#8217;s vision of how Facebook should work doesn&#8217;t meet your personal needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The discussion of the changes at Facebook have pretty much run their course, in my opinion.
