  • I can't get it to work. I wanna change it just to see what's different about it but no go.
  • I don't think it's that bad. by the way, there's a link at the very top right that says "Back to the old Facebook"

    I use the old way. I didn't like using the new interface either. Makes it look like myspace. I like the way that the old facebook had everything on one page instead of several tabs.
    NERDS!

    I tried new facebook for the whole of about 5 minutes a couple of weeks ago ... soon changed back.
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    I don't get facebook in general. I have a recent account, but I just don't get it. I don't really care to see update after update about how my "friends" added other "friends" or commented on some picture. What's the appeal or how do you use it to make it more interesting?
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    I didn't like the new facebook at first, but I've given it a chance and now realise it's a lot more functional. The tabs means less loading of pages, so less disruption to the chat box and finally means you don't need to scroll down for a million years to find the wall because some moron has 1305742967436703507 applications. Having the wall and news feed in one does seem a bit weird, but then again I don't understand why the news feed is compulsary anyway (why the hell do I want other people to know that I'm writing on other people's walls?!).

    All in all, I prefered the old facebook without the chat and applications, but as long as chat and applications are around the new layout makes a lot more sense.

    I hate the layout. That is all.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    I hate facebook... period.

    If I could block all the stupid stuff that is sent to me and just be able to keep in touch with friends it would be great.

    Is there a way to do that?

    I'm with you on that. That's all I need/use it for too. I'm not sure if you can block all the other crap, but if you find out, let me know.

    And I keep hearing about "new" facebook, but everytime I log in, it's the same. From all the shit reviews about it, guess I'm glad about that. Then again, I don't really give a fuck.

    I think if you are sent a notification, you can go to the application and block it. Or you spend some time browsing popular applications and block them before your friends invite you.

    I'm going to have to do that. We had somebody (who my husband was able to identify as coming through facebook.com) add a nasty virus to our computer. All of our firewall protection must have pissed the person off, 'cause when it finally broke through, the person was MANUALLY fucking with our system deleting everything. It was seriously fucked up watching someone remotely destroy our shit.

    Hubby had to reformat the hard drive, so I am no longer allowed to try any facebook user created applications. :o

    #106 Facebook
    July 31, 2008 by clander

    Social Networking sites have been embraced by white people since their inception. Because these sites use profile pages, white people can more efficiently judge friends and future friends on their taste in film, books, music, and inspirational quotes. Advanced level white people, fearful of being judged on their tastes from last week, will often only list one or two ironic things as their favorites. For example under music they would simply list “P.M. Dawn” or under films they would choose only Armageddon. In both cases these ironic answers serve as protective shields from the harsh gaze of other white people.

    However, it is important to remember that the “where” is often as important as the “who” when it comes to social networking. As noted in earlier posts, white people are obsessed with being in the right neighborhood and the Internet is no exception.

    In the early days, white people joined a social networking service called Friendster where they could connect with old friends and make new ones. Eventually, white people started to notice more and more of their friends on MySpace, so they closed their Friendster accounts and migrated to the new service. It was like living in a neighborhood that was pretty good but kind of far away, so you might have to miss out on a few parties. Needless to say, this was unacceptable.

    For a brief period of time, MySpace was the site where everyone kept their profile and managed their friendships. But soon, the service began to attract fake profiles, the wrong kind of white people, and struggling musicians. In real world terms, these three developments would be equivalent to a check cashing store, a TGIFridays, and a housing project. All which strike fear in the hearts of white people.

    White people were nervous but had nowhere else to go. Then Facebook came along and offered advanced privacy settings, closed networks, and a clean interface. In respective real world terms, these features are analogous to an apartment or house with a security system/doorman, an alumni dinner, and a homeowners association that protects the aesthetics of the neighborhood. In spite of these advances, some white people still clung to their old MySpace accounts. That was until they learned that Facebook started, like so many things beloved by white people, at Harvard.

    Within a matter of months, MySpace had gone from a virtual utopia to Digital Detroit, where only minorities and indie bands remain.

    If you plan on befriending white people, it is essential that you join them in the digital suburbs and open a Facebook account immediately. It’s also a good idea to make up a story about how someone from high school sent you a friend request and after accepting you discovered that they were fat and unsuccessful. White people love these stories.
