I never did figure that out. To be honest, I switched to TweetDeck, which, yes, is Twitter.. but, it also shows me only the updates of my friends on Facebook as well as the twitter updates. There is no extra shit thrown in. Love it!<br /><br />The downside (or upside!) of it is that you cannot make a comment on the Facebook status or see what others have written. That's alright by me. So, anyway, you may want to look into it-- come to the other side.<br /><br />Also, I HATE HATE HATE those damn top fives. It was fun at first, now I have realized I don't freakin CARE what cars my facebook friends had in college.

Granted, ...For those not wanting to join facebook:<br /><br />Granted, some of the people get annoying and the quizzes can be a pain in the butt, but there is good to be found in facebook.<br /><br />I grew up in a neighborhood full of children. The year my sister was born, there were 8 girls born on our block alone. By the time she was in middle school, they had all moved to other parts of the state.<br /><br />With facebook, I've connected with kids I haven't talked to in 30 years. It's been great seeing them and their families. Their children and parents and siblings.<br /><br />Through facebook, I'm in touch with 6 of the 8 girls, plus their brothers and sisters. For me, that trumps the hassle of the quizzes.<br /><br />One more thing: I have a son in college and facebook lets me get a glimpse into what he's up to and what kind of friends he's making. That's priceless!<br /><br />Deb in LargoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36095574.post-44592679973355810722009-05-08T07:31:00.000-05:002009-05-08T07:31:00.000-05:00Wow Kristie...this facebook rant really gave the c...Wow Kristie...this facebook rant really gave the comments section a work out, didn't it? I'm not reading the comments first, so please excuse me if I say something that has already been said. <br /><br />Like you, I loved the old style of facebook and wish they would bring it back. I've adjusted somewhat well to the new style, but it still just gives me a bad feeling. Weird, right? Anyway, I don't mind so much the quiz results being displayed as much as I mind the people that send me the quizzes...umm...I feel like no one notices that on the page where it says to pick 4 friends (or 6 or 8 or however many) that in very small letters at the top it says skip to results or something like that. I mean, I take my fair share of the quizzes, but I skip the whole sending a request to anyone because I know how annoying it is to have those dumb little icons in the corner that say 5 quiz requests just keep bugging you until you do something about it. Also, am I the only one that feels guilty if I am sent a request or application and ignore it? It's almost like I am insulting the person that sent it, but you know what? I have enough beers and cosmos and white russians, and I can't even really drink them. I used to accept everything out of fear that if I didn't, facebook would send a notice to my "friends" saying "your friend has IGNORED you" and then they would secretly hate me for ignoring an app on facebook...LOL...I think I need professional help. But yeah, I totally get where you're coming from.J-Quell'nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01878522077562588401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36095574.post-57605701233170473752009-05-08T00:13:00.000-05:002009-05-08T00:13:00.000-05:00One of my 'friends' took 24 quizzes in one afterno...One of my 'friends' took 24 quizzes in one afternoon and every single one of them showed up on my home page!

I have to agree that the quizzes do get a little old. But, you can go to the tool bar on the left hand side of your home page and click on "status updates" and it will take it off the "newsfeed" and will only give you updates, no quizzes, or any of the other stuff. You do have to do it every time you go to your home page, because it reverts to the "newsfeed" each time you go there.Jenny Bradennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36095574.post-35872683588806586482009-05-07T16:03:00.000-05:002009-05-07T16:03:00.000-05:00I'm pretty sure there's a fb test for what kind of...I'm pretty sure there's a fb test for what kind of blogger are you . . . <br /><br />But now that you mention it, I drifted away from FB for the last week or so and it's kinda nice!Elaine at Lipstickdailyhttp://lipstickdaily.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36095574.post-63926223508516803052009-05-07T13:58:00.000-05:002009-05-07T13:58:00.000-05:00I totally agree with you.

Did you know that there never used to be a home page with updates, etc.? There used to be groups saying "I hate the new Facebook", and now we just seem to accept it because those Facebook goonies are going to do whatever. There is a way to change your email settings so you don't get email reminders about every single thing, though.
