Something I wrote in the large protest group's forum:
"I'm really not convinced that Mark's new "news" model is superior to the old "encyclopedia" model the site has used in the past. For me, Facebook is a way for me to contact people in my courses for clarification, a way for me to find out more about that cute gal I've had my eye on, a fast way to communicate with friends, and nice way to look at my friends' pictures. Now diffs are being broadcast all over the place, whether I want to see them or not. Why the hell do I need to have all this stuff thrown in my face? If I want to look for friends who have updated their profile, I'll click "My Friends" and have it display that information. If I want to look for new pictures of my friends, I'll go click on "My Photos" and display that information. I NEVER want to know when somebody has written on somebody else's wall. I don't want all this information horribly jumbled together and displayed in one place. The guiding principle should be, make information available so that users can look at if if they request it. If not, don't display it."
