Facebook getting too over-the-top

Featured Replies

Has anyone noticed how they keep adding all these new features to Facebook that make it easier for people to know every little detail about yourself? Just this morning, I logged in and there's a new feature called "News Feed" that highlights everything you have done recently on facebook...posting on walls, commenting on pictures, accepting invitations, etc. Talk about stalkerish.

The only feature that was cool was adding photos...everything since then has been unnecessary. There are some people that update that profile badge thing every day, making sure everyone knows their whereabouts. I haven't used it once.

I've heard Facebook has ties to the CIA and that it's monitored closely by the government (example, if you list Very Liberal on your profile)...it honestly wouldn't surprise me. And even if that is all crackpot conspiracy theory, it is a fact that employers are now starting to check Facebook before they hire.

I agree. The new setup is not only a visual mess, but it's extremely invasive. How is it beneficial to know that one of my friends posted on some random person's wall at 3:32 AM?

everything they have added to facebook in the last year has been too much....I will regret the pictures feature someday....forget running for political office

I never really got too into Facebook, so now that it sucks I don't care that much really.

I discovered the new feature yesterday and was kind of weirded out about it. I guess I could care less, though.

Croc, I'd like to see your FB someday.

Facebook has definitely crossed the line...way too much information!
