Hate.

I wish there was a choice to upgrade.

Makes no difference to me. Like John said, it's gonna change no matter what so either accept it or just stop using it. I hardly use it really except uploading images to my photography page. After all I have more than 2x the number of people that like my page than I have as "friends" haha.

You guys need to check out some articles written after their Facebook Developers conference in CA this week.
I referenced one of them below, but their "developers" ie: companies that are trying to figure out how to get more information on you and how to get in your head and in your face... love the new changes.

The un-savvy consumer users however may not even know its happening.

Facebook revamps site with 'Timeline' and real-time apps - CNN.com

Excerpt:

Quote:

Facebook will make it easier for people to post info to their profile pages without visiting the site or clicking a Like button. The company has partnered with dozens of prominent software developers for applications that integrate more closely with the social network. Some of these features launched on Thursday...

Streaming music services, including MOG, Rhapsody, Rdio, Spotify and Turntable.fm, can automatically send data to Facebook about each song a user listens to ...

To promote this real-time sharing, Facebook also announced partnerships with Yahoo News, Netflix, Hulu, foodie social network Foodspotting and others. These companies have created Facebook apps that can post all of a person's activities on Facebook's new "ticker," ...

Some video services will similarly be able to notify Facebook each time a user watches a video. Hulu, the TV streaming site, and Netflix, the paid subscription service, will be among the first to adopt the new features.

I for one have decided to quit using Facebook altogether.
Facebook shouldnt be determinine who my friends are or filtering my friends.
Facebook also shouldnt be determining who of my friends I see updates and data feeds from.

I will however keep an account to monitor my kids activities and for admin of an a couple of active groups.

I will however no longer use it as a channel for any personal communications.

I love the new time line! Didn't like the other changes they made the other day, though. Here's my time line.

The only thing that bothers me is my feed is out of order. I don't hate it enough to quit using it yet.

But what I find funnier than the complainers, is the people that complain about the complainers....

Or say something like "it's free, quit complaining"....well, I got some news for you, it's not really "free". Sure it doesn't cost money, but it's a trade off of my time and demographic info in exchange for there services. And remember, we the users ARE THE PRODUCT BEING SOLD! And I'm fine with that, but if they keep requiring more of my time and info to use the service, then that when complaining starts. I'll probably use it less now, because that little ticker in the corner that shows everything you comment on or "like" freaks me out. I mean, I don't want people seeing that I "liked" one of Abel's post!
