So this article had to do with the anger of facebook users softening with the changes to facebook. I think like it says in the article that the moment of surprise is what affected people most, when your used to seeing the same thing over and over and over again, you get accustomed to them, and the minute they change you feel lost, or in this situation, outraged. It also says that many of the posts and "hate" for this facebook change was in sarcasm so one can imagine that it would blow over easy. I personally still stand by the fact that if this facebook change affects a person that much, then they are clearly on facebook way to much. I found it pretty funny what some of the comments were, especially this one, "More Facebook changes, Mark Zuckerberg?! Would you like me to go to your house and move around all your furniture and see if you like it?!" I just thought this was hilarious, but in the same sense, its true. You wouldnt like someone changing your house around without telling you, and you just having to deal with it! Sorry for the font change!

I definitely agree with your statement that if people were truly bothered by the changes facebook made, they should probably get off the site because they spend far too much time on it. The comment you quoted in the blog post is pretty hilarious, though the person who made the comment had no logical correlation given Zuckerberg owns his house AND our facebook pages. So, facebook users really can't complain; using the angry comment's analogy, only with a more proper correlation given what he owns versus what we own: if he changed his own house without telling us, we might as well not go into his house if it bothers us that much.
ReplyDeleteThat comment is really funny. I was sort of amused when my facebook newsfeed blew up with outraged comments by my friends about how horrible the changes were. Sure, it was inconvenient and took some getting used to, but the decision makers at Facebook are probably going to change things around again, and it will probably be sooner than later. It seems a bit extreme to liken the page and features layout of a social networking site to the furniture in someone's home. Although... maybe not, if the complainers use the features of Facebook as often as they use their household furniture! :)
