For those of you with Facebooks, what do you think of the changes?

I like it, but at the same time it is a bit too stalkerish. lol

I'm hoping Mark's new "news" model will fall flat on his face and we'll get our old "encyclopedia" back.

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."

way too stalkerish.  I really dislike it.  Especially with all that crap I've dealt with in the past few months with the internet... I really hate it.  So that's why since they changed it so you actually could hide that info, I did.

i think they went a little bit over board.

i dont really care what someone wrote on someone else's wall or who befriended whoever. the only info i slightly care about is if have a message.

I couldn't agree more.  That's the only thing I care about.  I don't exactly want people knowing what I write on other ppls walls nor do I care to read what other ppl write on ppls walls.  Just my own.  Thanks.

what I really don't care to know is when that one guy down the hall just broke up with his long-term girlfriend. :x

Well, you can see all that stuff anyway, pretty much. It's just in a condensed format for the lazy kids like myself who don't want to look at everyone's profile. I don't have a problem with it. :p
