As college students, we all love to keep in touch with our friends. And for the past few years, Facebook has been one of the easiest and coolest ways to stay in the loop with everything that’s been going on in our family and friend’s lives. But recently, Facebook has undergone some, in our opinion, drastic changes. The social network that we once knew has gone under the knife, getting extensive work done to compete with Twitter, and the up and coming Google+. When a famous movie star or singer gets a procedure done, it’s generally the topic of debate. When Michael Jackson had his nose redone [multiple times] we all knew he shouldn’t have done it. The point were getting at here is that, when someone or something changes essentially what or who they are, it can be a big mistake. The changes for those who don’t know include “upgrades” to the news feed, which now shows users, stories that Facebook decides are important bases on your activity. Also, Facebook has added a “Subscriber” feature to compete with Twitter’s concept of having followers. We personally do not approve of having people that we do not know viewing my profile. Mostly everyone knows about the “Facebook Creeper,” and this adds an extension for users to creep on other users. Users do not receive a notification for added subscribers. You can block a specific user by managing your privacy settings, but having to check you subscribers and managing who to block on a daily basis is a hassle. Also with the new GPS [global positioning system] added to every status update, it allows “Subscribers” the opportunity to locate you at your current position. Think about that for a minute. Scary right? Also, especially for students, Facebook can be a distraction. Time on Facebook also leads to procrastination in class. However, Facebook has been a consistent source for people to stay in touch with friend’s and family, so undoubtedly, Facebook has its benefits. But personally, Facebook should work hard at trying to be Facebook, not imitating other social network sites. Facebook became popular for it’s clean, grown-up way of managing your friends online. If it’s not broke, why fix it?
