Get out of my mind, Facebook!!

Facebook used to be "a place for friends", now it's a place for sharing random shit.

Wait, hold on...

No, Myspace is the one that's "a place for friends," not Facebook.

FB hasn't changed my account to the new version yet, but from what I've heard from other people, it doesn't seem like a good idea. Here's a fun article about it that I found:

I think I'm going back to Myspace. THEY haven't changed their design or format in a really long time, maybe only ONE major change since I first joined, but right now it seems that Myspace is a lot simpler than Facebook right now.

Everyone was so upset over the last major FB change, it's just ridiculous that they want to keep trying new things! Why not keep it one way for a while, so that people can understand how to use it? It's nice that they want to experiment with new interfaces and whatnot, but I think that even the current version has a few problems with scripting. (Like, sometimes around midnight when you post something, on your feed it will say that it was posted "tomorrow")

I don't know, I just thought that Facebook's orginal plan was to make it easier for us to connect with our friends. Now it looks like they just want to copy things from other sites, like Twitter, and make a weird social hybrid machine.

Yeah, I think I'm going back to Myspace.

Who's with me?
