Facebook is proving that people are afraid of change just because it's change.

Posted by nubby Oct 26 '09, 06:28

and what short memories people have. All of these people who were threatening quitting Facebook last time it changed because of how "shitty" the feed page was are now screaming from the rafters that they want that way back again.

I'm kind of baffled for the same reason. - Callisto Oct 26, 06:59
and they still voted for Obama! -- nm - Danedukenuuk Oct 26, 06:52
I haven't figure out why different things go in different feeds. - ty97 Oct 26, 06:49 8
- i have the same problem - this isn't clear at all -- nm - undeadMojo Oct 26, 07:14
- from what I've been able to see, everything goes in your live feed, listed chronologically - znufrii Oct 26, 06:51
- News Feed is the "most popular" stories only. Live Feed is everything. -- nm - nubby Oct 26, 06:51 5
  - I guess it's using logic about how I comment on/talk to? Because I've got posts in my news feed that have no likes/comments/action. - ty97 Oct 26, 06:53 4
    - Most total likes and comments, I think. -- nm - nubby Oct 26, 06:57 1
      - Top item in my my news feed has no likes, no comments. - ty97 Oct 26, 07:01
    - there's a slider-panel that lets you emphasize things, too, somewhere -- nm - Beryllium Oct 26, 06:53 1
      - Interesting. I'm not really complaining, but more trying understand the algorithm they are using. - ty97 Oct 26, 06:56
I don't even really see what changed. I switched to the Live Feed and it looks exactly like the old page did. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 26, 06:43 5
- I do this, but for some reason, whenever I have to log in (instead of it remembering me) it defaults to the News Feed, and I have to change it over. -- nm - znufrii Oct 26, 06:47 3
  - yep. -- nm - Andie Oct 26, 07:23
  - Hmm. Mine stays on the Live feed. Wonder if it's a cookie-based setting or something. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 26, 07:03
  - Me too. -- nm - Jim Oct 26, 06:47
- That's exactly what I thought. -- nm - MDH Oct 26, 06:45
I call what Facebook is doing change for nothing but the sake of change. People making changes to in an attempt to validate what they do. -- nm - HdnAgnda Oct 26, 06:42
Yeah, I thought that when I saw the new "CHANGE IT BACK!!!" group pop up. I don't care for the double feed but don't feel THAT strongly this time. - Cuzzin Todd Oct 26, 06:42
Therefore America should just bite the bullet, adopt socialised medicine and get rid of the penny :) - Roger More Oct 26, 06:42
I'm not sure that's fear, exactly. -- nm - mara Oct 26, 06:35 3
- "I'm not afraid of gay people, I just hate 'em." -- nm - nubby Oct 26, 06:36 2
  - i think people are more of the 'if it's not broke don't fix it" mentality. -- nm - Andie Oct 26, 06:45 1
    - I think people are just confused. -- nm - mara Oct 26, 06:51
I do not necessarily think you are talking to me, but I like having status updates only - so there was a fix for that - Trick or Pippy Oct 26, 06:33 5
- Hold on a sec...back up and talk to me about "status updates only". - Jim Oct 26, 06:38 4
  - I think so - I just did it this am - go to your Home button and on the left side - there is a "more" button - Trick or Pippy Oct 26, 06:43 3
    - Nice - thx! -- nm - Deevil Oct 26, 06:46
    - Rock on...thanks. I'll play around with this and see what I like. - Jim Oct 26, 06:46 1
      - yall are welcome- I am not going to miss the Mafia updates. ha ha -- nm - Trick or Pippy Oct 26, 06:49
Hmmm...well, I don't know what it looked like before, cause I'm new. I just think the news feed is obnoxious. - Jim Oct 26, 06:32
the new split just seems pointless to me. -- nm - Andie Oct 26, 06:31
