Facebook: It’s your own damn fault
September 8, 2006
Everyone is losing their minds over the new Facebook news feeds. Ok, I’ll admit, when I first saw the facelift, I said it. “Uh…this is kind of stalkerish.” But now? I mean, let’s face it (AHAHA). If you’re going to add the entire student body as your friends, how are you going to complain, if, I don’t know…
And how many anti-groups popped up instantly? Probably around 738.
It must go? Go where? I know you, you obsessive students. You love the news feeds. Otherwise, you’d be the ones deleting your accounts, rather than using one of Facebook’s own features to rebel.
I kind of love how they call them stories.
And poor Mike, right? But really, if Mike didn’t want you to know, there’s a little gray X in the upper right corner of each story. Click on it Mike, and your biz is your biz. It sort of seems like everyone is making an unnecessary fuss. And they’re the same people who continue to log on 57 times a day. Facebook is doing what it’s always done. It’s just getting better at it.

I thought it was funny that when the feeds came out, everyone joined grows about petitioning facebook. I was a little skeptical about it too, but it was funny to see everyone reacting. I even knew someone who changed their status message to something like “laughing at facebook with the whole feed fiasco.”

AHA! I feel the same EXACT way too! I think every person secretly likes the new features… and they like making a big to do about signing petitions, and headings groups because it makes them feel special.
There are two ways to eliminate the stalkerish feel like you said; just change your privacy settings to block all kinds of stories or just some, OR just click the little x’s to delete select stories.
People either secretly enjoy the feature, or are just too dumb if they’re complaining about the feature. Sadly, I think its mostly more of the latter.
