facebook is now absolute garbage

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/chris-willma...t_b_175358.html

Facebook used to be so good, I enjoyed "connecting" with people and posting on their walls, posting photos for my friends, and finding events and stuff...but since they changed everything to be more like Twitter, the site has become an absolute abortion. No control over anything +forced ads everywhere, people updating their 'status' every 15 minutes, just totally retarded, no customization of views or the livefeed, just pure shit. Everyone on the site hates it, all my friends hate it, there's over 500,000 people who have all said they hate it. Will facebook actually do anything and listen to its users and pretend to care? Nope...

There are tons of petitions and stuff to bring back the old facebook but I thought it would be cool to take it a step further...THE FACEBOOK SUICIDE PACT!

I created an event encouraging everyone to delete their accounts on March 27th if Facebook didn't change back to how it was. There were thousands of people invited, 300 people signed up and were ready to do it, I was hoping to get mainstream media attention etc. THEN facebook decided that I somehow "violated their terms of service" and deleted my account and the event. The Facebook suicide turned into homicide :D

I know they won't go back to the old version, but overall it really is the downfall of the site. I did enjoy using it while it was good. Oh well

RIP Facebook

why the hate

also chax <3 autopilot

i was actually just saying to my girlfriend tonight that i hated the fucking changes facebook has made. i dont use it enough to know exactly what had changed but it was really annoying me!

there was an article in fortune about how zuckerberg wants to turn facebook into the next "cell phone". that scares me. anyway the fact that the site's first bit of venture capital came from peter thiel was enough to keep me away from it.

I should have been born earlier, damn this facebook generation! No one even uses the cellphone anymore, sometimes I know people who'l let it go to voicemail and text an answer back!

I hate that shit, mostly because text costs me more than talking.

really couldnt care less about what facebook looks like.

what's facebook?

I hear you man. Just logged on for the first time in a while. Total arse bollocks. Im shutting my account asap.

i love facebook

I stopped using Facebook about a month ago. I've deleted everything on my wall and pretty much everything about me.

That place is nothing but trouble.

facebook suicide pact sounds like a great idea

I like the new layout. THe only thing I don't like is 459 "John Quigley just took the 'What BPM are you?' Quiz. John is 206 BPMs" messages all over the news feed!

fucking quiz's jesus christ

if they dont sort this shit out or make it so i can choose wtf i can see im deleting my account

Same. I've long since erased myself from it.

I think you should embrace and adapt, by blogging everything little thing you do and have it appear on everyone's main page.

Does that in return delete you from society? I'd imagine if I deleted FB I'd be excommunicated from the social pipeline.

mmm if only there was some way i could voluntarily log all my personal details, contacts, daily activities, personal communications etc onto some massive public database....or failing that, maybe there could be someway that enabled other people to some how connect my identity to old photographs that somebody else has uploaded so i could be plastered all over the database against my will in some kind of fun bizarre invasion of privacy... now that would be amazing and just the sort of thing i would happily spend any spare time i have doing. in fact.... if there was somehow i could do all this while away from my computer, that would be perfect... if only someone would invent a small hand held object that contains complete audio visual surveillance equipment and some kind of global positioning recognition system that i could take everywhere i go .... eventually my whole life could be logged in some big really cool database... also it would be cool if you could .... i dunno.... "poke"? people on it as well somehow.... that would be so the best thing ever. ultimately it could replace the utterly pointless activity of real face to face human interaction and eye contact .

then again... what if all this was true and it was all really fab but then one day in a couple of years, they change some graphicl aspect of the layout...that would really upset me and i would probably feel like crying about it all over some gay idm forum

Kind of. I decided not to add two of my friends to my list of friends and I haven't heard from them since. True story. But what's great about not using Facebook is that everything is news to you.

You know what I'm sick of?

"Hey, you forgot it's Gary's birthday!"

"I didn't know it was his birthday?"

"What!? Didn't you see it on Facebook?"

Fuck...

yeah it sucks nowand its damn slow too. i get a "unresponsive script" error.

its been reported for awhile that they werent making the money they projected from advertising so i guessed drastic changes are coming. trying to copy twitter is cheap though. remember when myspace went all facebook? you got to have confidence in your model and stick to it. people hate change. and this change is pure awful. when they last update they had a button that let you view the old homepage, not seen it this time. this is as bad as the new vs old boomkat homepage

I closed my account and manually deleted all my content last year and it was mysteriously re-activated a couple of months ago and all the stuff i deleted was back. i fucking hate facebook. I'm going to remove everything from my account again tonight and send facebook an email telling them to fuck off and leave me the fuck alone.

It is slow. But I use it to post pics, keep a beer journal and share links, so the format they have switched to is great for all that. I hope they will be able to change the homepage to update people's posts in real-time.
