Change in Facebook: The New Update + Apples


I Like apples, okay. I might even include my liking of apples as an Interest in my Facebook Profile, okay. Worst-case scenario, I may cry out for help when feeling blue with a Status Update that says, 'I like apples!'

BUT, I'm not gonna create a Page or a Group to express my Interest for apples.

The new Facebook update has destroyed my Interests in the simple pleasures of life: such as apples. I can no longer tell the world with my Profile that I simply like apples… I must have a Page on my Profile that says, 'I LIKE APPLES.' Then, I could gather Fans from all around the world who like apples too! Facebook could help me gather statistics from all other Fans of apples. And if I reach 1,000,000 Fans for my liking of apples, I would start planting apple trees everywhere…

I worked hard on my Facebook Profile, okay…

4 years of belligerent college photos, 2 years of ‘WTF I'm outta college what do I do with my life now’ Status Updates, and 6 years of acquiring hypothetical Interests and trying to figure out who I am and what the internets are... and for what? So Facebook can turn all my Interests and most intimate hobbies into Pages with its newest update! Come on!

You can say I'm not a Fan of the new Facebook update... But hey, things change… for better or for worse… But, I really don't care enough about it to spend my internet efforts rallying '1,000,000 Against the New Facebook Update.’ I could care less… I’ll settle for a new profile and spend the unnecessary time venting through this blog post.

So check out my Facebook Profile and meet the new me: One with very few interests, no political or religious views, no sarcastic profile responses, and my support for random Pages, half of which I don’t even know what they’re about.

Cheers!
