NOT AGAIN!!! Facebook revamp

I will be the first to admit that I don't care for change. Facebook has yet again, tried to reinvent its self by updating the mobile version and the online newsfeed. Why had Facebook decided to do this? Because everyone complained the last time about how the "Top News" wasn't really what the users wanted to see. The users felt like there was a glitch in the algorithm that decided what stories were posted and which were left off.

I personally like the new changes to the newsfeed. Instead of liking a celebrity, you can actually subscribe to their feed. I feel like this is Facebook's way of competing with Twitter. With the new subscription button, it goes right to your rss feed so that you can make your own version of a newspaper. The updated online version also allows you to put your close friends on their own feed, so you do not miss a minute of what is going on in your circle.

As for the updated mobile version, the only word that comes to mind is FINALLY!! You can now tag people that you are with and put a location on your status! I also like the mobile version because you can see what the person does more easily because it is right next to their picture.

Not all change is bad! Some advice to those who are complaining yet again, just suck it up and get used to it. Facebook is like fashion, it is always evolving and is never finished!
