Facebook Design Changes

Every time Facebook has made changes recently it has actually made the site less desirable to use. Usability matters in design and all the re-organizations, feeds, top news and recent news "enhancements of the past" have been rather shotty. Part of the beauty of the earlier Facebook was its simplicity. Regardless, soon enough and I am not sure when, I think people 30 and over will start moving away from Facebook. Mainly because its appeal will grow tiresome and it's hard to mention one damn thing Facebook has ever done for "me." And if that transgresses; privacy will become important again...

I think people aren't going to move away from Facebook because the primary value of Facebook is the network effects of it. That is, you use it because all your friends use it. Moving over to a new site would require convincing all of your friends to move with you and the more people you know on FB the more onerous that becomes.

I used to use LJ exclusively for keeping in touch with my circle of friends because most of them were on there. Now though most of those people are also on Facebook and I've thus had little reason to go look at LJ anymore since it's only a small subset of the people I run into on FB.

See I think people will eventually go back to e-mail, perhaps Skype or IChat. For the most part I think eventually Facebook is just going to go too far. And people eventually will get fed up or move on.

I like social networking like the next guy, but I don't think another site is necessary to replace Facebook.

The world existed quite fine before it.

Get Your Dunkin' Thursday

 Snow! It's everywhere. Still had to go to work though..bummer. We're looking at frigid temperatures in the upcoming weeks. NOT COOL GROUNDHOG. I'm tired of it. It really drains you to wake up and trudge through the weather. I should start working out. Nah, why do that? Here are your highlights: GOP is going to attack the most vulnerable . It's the cruelty.  EGGS! Remember all that whining about eggs? Guess it doesn't matter when Republicans are in charge. Never good when Nazis are gaining momentum in Germany. Trump hands Ukraine over to Putin . As expected. Trump has been and will always be a Russian asset.  DOGE has always been bullsht. HOWEVER, Elon the government parasite is getting a huge contract for armored Teslas . Totally makes sense to gut Medicaid we have bigger priorities like useless, poorly made, Teslas.  Asian-American clubs cut from West Point.  I am Frank Chow and I approve this message

Get Your Dunkin' Tuesday

 It's Tuesday and I'm depressed. I woke up intent on getting to work early and returned to bed. Maybe it's seasonal depression? The weather was good for one day and tricked us all. Nevertheless, I persist. The sads will not defeat me. I will defeat the sads.  Here are your highlights: Pritzker signs Karina's Law . Get the guns.  Einstein Ring spotted by space telescope In this bizarre world, Trump pardoning Blago means little Tulsi is closer to spying on all of us China has a marriage problem Elon makes a fake bid for OpenAI. Proving once again that Elon can't make good sht and only buys and breaks things others make.  I am Frank Chow and I approve this message
