Facebook gives the News Feed a makeover, users get angry

I am so sick of people who complain. We have revolutionized social networking. You need to show appreciation and far less negative input. We decide whats best. We decide what direction this goes. We decide what partners to include. And remember, we decide who to keep and who to break up with.

Stupid Troll. You're just in denial because you know it sucks and won't admit to it. Face it, you screwed up *AGAIN*.

Piss off, Anthony. You are no more important than my circle of friends who build the software you use to try and dictate what we see on Facebook and who build the code in which you claim supreme dictatorship over. Remember programmers use back doors in their code, really, and of course, I'm sure Facebook will pay them $500 to show them how they brought you down. Know your place, you little peon. That is, of course, if you actually work for Facebook, which I seriously doubt you do. You really couldn't be THAT STUPID, since it is incredibly EASY to track you down from your posts. lol

I WAS a facebook user who spent real $$ on this stupid crap, and I used to advertise with Facebook. When asked why I am deleting my Facebook, I will refer them to this link in addition to telling them their new layout is crap. I'm already on Google +, and will point and laugh while Facebook follows My Space into the history of failed social networks sites.

Now I get it, did you help create the anger and frustration being shown by just about all fb users? Or, are you just here trying to get attention?

One thing I discovered early on about FB: just about anyone on Planet Earth who is a realtor (and what the heck are they actually "selling" nowadays - short sales?), has their profile out there for anyone to view. They also have over 500+ "friends." It's called marketing and realtors are desperate for customers these days. I also have several friends who practically live on the site and post every little detail of their boring daily routine: "decided to have a vegan dinner last night; here's the recipe for lentil stew." Yeah, I was holding my breath for that tidbit. Sorry, but I don't find Facebook particularly interesting. Great for posting photos for friends and family if you aren't in contact that often, but maybe I'm just too old. I see people on there who are practically addicted to it. To each his own, I don't care what new concepts they put on there. For those of you who enjoy using it - great.

Anthony you are so childish! If you actually worked for FB... you will lose your job over your remarkes you have made in these comments! FB stop controlling what we see! You will be losing a lot of users over this one. Including me!

#39 - Wed Sep 21, 2011 10:17 AM EDT

I will tell you what. Leave your user id an I will persononaly delete your account. We will have our proof then.

Could you make sure my account is COMPLETELY deleted? Do you need my social security number, home address, and bank account numbers to make sure the deletion is complete? Just tell me what you need and I'll provide it for you. No worries here about identity theft or misuse of my private information by a souless, heartless collection gatherer masquerading as a social network. Yup, no worries at all.

Wow, Anthony. You work for FB, yet are on here insulting the users?? Don't know a damn thing about customer service, do you? If I'm treated like crap somewhere, I'll shop somewhere else. FB won't rule the world forever; something better will come along and take over. Are you not reading what's happening to Netflix?? Don't think it can happen to you?? Ah, the ignorance of superiority never ceases to amaze me! And if I were your employer, I'd think twice about letting you back in the building.

Where will you go? We own social networking. That why we call the shots. Oh sorry. You could go back to MSpace.

#40.1 - Wed Sep 21, 2011 10:21 AM EDT

Even the largest empires fall under their own hubris. Just keep fueling that fire there sir, you'll see the bottom soon enough.

#40.2 - Wed Sep 21, 2011 10:27 AM EDT

We are in a position where customer service is of little merit. It a great job to have. I mean what choice do you have? We own the market. Its not like Walmart where you just go to the next store.

#40.3 - Wed Sep 21, 2011 10:30 AM EDT

Huh, 15 new people added to Google+ in the last hour, yeah we got a choice. I choose to laugh at your claims and arguments. So does everyone else. You do know everyone hates you right? Just making sure.

You work for Facebook ANTHONY? Doesn't really surprise me, with the way you are treating those who don't like or want the new app. By the way, when you act like a whiny corporate shill, it doesn't do much for the cause you are pushing. Listening to what the people want goes a long way, instead of telling them to live with what corporate allows them to have. Why make more enemies than friends?

"Not when you dont have to."

Well, you just made up my mind. After that child like response, I am going to do like one of the other posters, and take screen shots of your comments to those who use Facebook, and sent them around to my friends who use Facebook. Googles reputation may not be the greatest, but at least their employees don't come into these forums, and treat their customers like crap and making their company look like total dirt-bag morons. And I suggest, anyone reading this do the same thing. Take screenshots and let the rest of the Facebook users know what the Facebook corporate employees think of them. This way, corporate can thank it's employees like ANTHONY here for it's downward spiral. Way to go ANTHONY, and thank you for showing us your corporations true face.

Rosa Golijan, this is a great story for you to investigate and write about. How their employees are driving the customers away.

With comments like this: "Where will you go? We own social networking. That why we call the shots. Oh sorry. You could go back to MSpace."
