I still love Facebook!

There are over 500 new groups on Facebook centered around the premise that the new mini-feed= stalking.

Give me a break! It is somewhat tediously detailed but don't all you facebookers feel like stalkers already? I think this new mini-feed actually just highlights an already prevalent tendency of college students to learn little details about each other...and to spread gossip. It is like a facebook-wide rebuke. Relish it.

Don't lie- all of you use Facebook to see if that "so and so broke up" rumor is true and to see if one of your mentorees has been out partying over summer break. You may also use photo comments as a way to initiate some innocent internet flirting with your new crush.

The simple fact that you are on facebook and have the ability to look at all of these personal facts makes you a stalking candidate already. If you don't want people to see that you are in a "it's complicated" relationship then DON'T PUT IT ON THE INTERNET! If you don't want people to see whose group you just denied then let your request box fill up.

Personally, I love the new Facebook for a few of these reasons:

-You can now see what exactly has been recently updated on your friends' profiles instead of hunting to see if they added one more band or quote to their lists...meaning you would have had to have memorized their last lists.
-Everything is streamlined so you don't have to click all over facebook to see which of your friends are coming to Paradigm.
-You can locate trends in your commenting (and if you find that you just keep saying "you're hot" over and over again on picture comments then you can spice it up a bit)
-You can hide any mini-feed story you don't want people reading!

Consider the rant through.
