Facebook: Stop Messing Things Up!

When will the folks at Facebook learn to stop messing about with something successful. Surely they should be giving their users more options rather than taking them away. Isn’t that what the internet’s supposed to be all about? Introducing the “Mini-Feed” without making it optional was intrusive enough, the least they could do is allow us to collapse it thus banishing it from our sight and by extension our consciousness.

Ah, but we are cunning and have deleted every item in our mini-feed. You’ll nae get the better o’ us!

Facebook is planning even greater changes to the profile page, nearly all of which are bad news. Some rogue programmers should copy the code and start a Facebook (Ancien Régime) for those of us who are loyal to the old ways and believe strongly in the principle of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”.

Facebook continues to be the only real option for cultured individuals, and yet it seems to be turning into another Myspace. Pity.
