I hate new Facebook changes, but I've come to the conclusion that I will never quit Facebook and neither will you...so deal with it.
Facebook from Day 1
Oh the history of my time with Facebook. I began my profile as a bright-eyed freshman in Fall 2005. Everybody was doing it. At a meeting for the soccer club, every girl on the team introduced themselves with their name, year in school and whether or not they FacebookeHTMLd. (Oh yes, it was already a verb way back then along with the request that you friend me when you get home.) It was just us college students back then and we thought we were hot shit.
But all good things must come to an end and despite the whining of millions of Facebookers, within a year anyone with a valid e-mail address was allowed in. All of us original Facebook users were outraged. We joined our share of protest groups and threatened to leave for MySpace. Now I can't imagine a Facebook without my best friend's 50-year-old uncle and all my Chinese friends from the semester I spent abroad.
Stalkerbook
In Fall 2006, another upheaval began when the news feed was introduced. Everyone can see what you're doing on Facebook all the time. Let's just be honest with ourselves. It made what we all were already doing on Facebook that much easier and you know it. However, the uproar from the Facebook community was so fierce that a public apology was issued by Mark Zuckberger, the site’s 24-year-old founder and CEO.
A few days ago, after being given the option to use the new Facebook for weeks, which I never did because that’s how much I hate change on Facebbook, I signed onto my page and everything was all switched around. Now, Facebook has become even easier to stalk people on and in turn have people stalk you.
It's about communication, it's about networking and it's about knowing what your friends doing all the time because with everything else going on your life you need to look at the mind-numbing photos of how drunk Kelli got last week.
Friends Forever
In conclusion, I will never quit Facebook no matter who's on it and how stalker-friendly it becomes. Zuckberger always knows best that's why he's worth 1.5 billion and you're still checking your ex-boyfriend's status update.
