I use Facebook to keep in touch with friends and relatives all over the world. It was the first 'social network' that I tried online and I liked it so I kept using it. However recently Mark Zuckerberg decided he would like to change the layout and no one would have a say in the matter. It's terrible. I don't think that's even strong enough to describe it. Facebook will die because of this change.
Websites come and websites go, I can accept this. However the stuff that's going on is quite stalinesque. I joined one of the groups deploring the layout change (there are many groups, some with over 2 million members and counting). The Facebook administrators have been deleting posts, topics, groups and members at whim. Anyone who speaks out against the layout change is silenced. Now I'm not sure how the rest of you feel about it, but to me this seems underhanded - certainly against the better practices of an international company of this size. Some comical instances now involve members posting information relating to the Better Business Bureau (an American business watchdog), censorship and email addresses for Facebook staff. Admins have been deleted these to see 12 more topics sprout with exactly the same information. Then groups get deleted and recreated by members. Then members get deleted only to rejoin and repost. It's like some sort of cyber war against Facebook.
Anyway, I just thought I'd post my experiences and remind anyone else who doesn't like it to perhaps join one of the groups or blog.
