Close up of FB Dev at work
(If you are a normal person, who has an actual life, and who doesn't like rants and tirades from folks who don't, please don't read any further....please...you will just think ill of me, and I value your good opinion. However, I have no life and get my personal interactions here on the interwebs.)
Yep, Facebook devoured itself yet again, just turned around, grabbed its tail in its sticky, black beak and sucked itself right inside. Slurp! Just like a cocktail olive. It's done it before and eventually everyone got used to the pointless, intrusive, and annoying changes that it made to itself when it emerged from its own ugly, and now inside out, butt. This seems like the worst update yet.
I read my morning news on FB, keep up with friends and family, play pointless, but addictive games and generally waste quite a lot of time. I also used to get the news feeds of a large number of farms and farm organizations, which I used to glean tips for future Farm Side stories or to kick off posts here on Northview. A whole new ball game now.
Only Facebook, with its insane level of popularity, could c**p in the hats of millions upon millions of loyal, all day every day, customers and get away with it.
But they will. We will all whine and bitch and carry on and send them nasty notices. Then we will all figure out how to find the news and updates we used to use and twist ourselves inside out to do so. I truly don't think that FB devs have any interest at all in serving their customers. I think they sit around in little padded rooms thinking up ways to tick off their millions and millions and millions of users and then gloat when they get all those millions of angry letters.
Meanwhile, maybe they bought shares in Google+ (which is also hard to use and confusing) and want to send a little business their way.
Okay, enough of that. Now I will go see how much time I can waste figuring out how to find Farm and Dairy, and Dairy Herd Management and all those other folks....and you...if you are my FB friend. Rant over.
***and yes, I do know that there are many more important issues to worry about, flooding, famine, etc., but today is my day to whine.
***Update #2 Becky pointed out that all we really wanted was a "dislike" button
