Just read a quote that's kinda true in a way, that states Facebook has changed more things than Obama did. Yeah that 'awkward moment' kind you see every now and then. Speaking about change and FB, it's been a recurring thing for the past few months. I've tolerated the many changes but the most recent one is useful and stupid in a way. In the past, you'd scroll down the news feed until you're reading the ones you've read before, but you're unaware of that. Now there's an indication for you where exactly you can stop scrolling.

And now the stupid stuff. 2 points to be exact. First is the more cluttered interface. FB attracted the hearts of many in its early days due to its simplicity and ease of use. Now there's so many things going on (which may be a good thing because it's not so boring) but you've somewhat turned into the world's ultimate cyber-stalker. We have to acknowledge the fact though, that once you've joined FB, you've somewhat signed a contract on your willingness to be stalked. This brings me to the next point: the Ticker function. What the hell is it for? We already have a news feed and now we have its little brother at the right side. It even displays stuff that doesn't matter to us, eg. posts and comments between our friends with people we don't share any connection with at all.

Now loads of people complaining that FB is turning into Tumblr. I kinda want to slap their faces because like hello, there's something called 'share'. We use it to share stuff that yiu think deserve the attention of many others, it's just that now they're in a form of pictures. That share function existed way before Tumblr, you know.
