It’s free. So stop your whining. “Waa Waa Waah! It looks different. I don’t like the news feed! I don’t like the new lists.” Blah, blah, blah. People just don’t like change. Well I’m down with the changes. Mostly because I have no control over them and REMEMBER – It’s flippin’ FREE!
Admit it, you don’t even remember what it is you don’t like. You can’t even remember what Facebook used to look like – and that was less than a month ago!
Don’t you like the way pictures are now gigunda on your news feed? Don’t you like how you can see how many people shared your post (and who they are)? And don’t you like how your friend’s entire post is revealed when you mouse over the live mini feed in your sidebar – including pictures?! You can even like or comment from there! Come on, you know you like it.
Being the social media maven that I am, I watched the F8 Facebook Developers Conference (well some of it – til I fell asleep). I like the cool new words like “open graph” and “timelines.” No, I don’t know what they are – but they must be cool.
Some might try to argue that Facebook isn’t really free because you are inundated with advertising. That’s like saying watching tv isn’t free (oh, except for cable). Do you even notice the ads, anyway? I don’t pay any attention to them at all!
Moral of the story: Shut up. It’s free.
