Earlier this week popular social networking site, Facebook, unveiled it's new homepage/general layout... yet, again. Facebook used to be, in my opinion, a good alternative to Myspace simply because it wasn't as bloated with useless nonsense. It was clean and intentionally over simplified and dammit, it worked just fine.
The layout leaves much to be desired --- like, hmm, maybe the old way? Well, for starters, I really don't like the "streaming" friend status. It seems like Facebook was feeling the heat from newcomer Twitter to add this. If you don't know what the hell Twitter is, it's basically a stalker's best friend since all it does is just tell people what you're doing. Seriously, that's it. Woooo (sarcasm). Despite my trepidation to get an account with Twitter, it's taken off fairly quickly due to word of mouth and it's general acceptance in Hollywood circles. You know it's a big deal when Diddy is busy plugging it on Ellen.
My friend Veronica is gonna hate me lol. But look, I made you famous haha.
So Facebook has put a bigger emphasis on friend status, which is something I care about to a degree, but overall I'd rather not be in the know about whenever my friends do something. I love you guys, but I honestly don't give a blueberry fuck about what you're doing every 20 minutes. Besides that, the site just looks more confusing to use on first glance and seems more sluggish when you're trying to do stuff involving your profile.
Hate it.
Facebook is like the girl that was cute to begin with, had some deep down self-esteem issues, and went on to have way too much plastic surgery to win her boyfriend back who was boinkin' Twitter... And it didn't work. Now she just looks like a hot mess and eats tubs of chocolate mint ice cream on the couch while watching re-runs of Charles in Charge* while sobbing like a pathetic sack of crap.
But my question to social networking sites: Why do you have to copy each other? One site gets a feature, then the other one has to add it. Myspace totally swagger jacked Facebook with the friend status updates, Profile 2.0, mutial friends, and the "people you may know" features last year. Now FB had to go and rip off Twitter. Look, the differences in the sites are what them great. If they're all the same bull shit they should just combine as one big pile of ass goo called MyFace or something retarded like that.
Fuck this lol.
*Charles in Charge = 80s ref. to prove how old I am lol
