As the article makes clear, I've never complained about the zillion Facebook design changes that came before. But the numbers are the numbers -- people aren't happy about this latest iteration -- and I think they have a point. The question is, will Facebook listen to its members?

Most users (me included) use the news feed, almost exclusively. I'm mourning the loss of the serendipity of Facebook, the real-time quirkiness of FB posts by folks worried about their status updates becoming permanent personal records. Though I hope I'm wrong about that.

Oh, I think a lot of amateur blogs are alive and well, but I do worry that the concern about permanence is a bug and not a feature, as Facebook would have it.

Alan, I haven't gone through the assortment of privacy controls to keep one's past private on Facebook (there's supposed to be a push-button solution), but users are raising this point a lot, which doesn't seem to play well with Facebook's notion of status updates as autobiography. We want a bit more control over our digital histories.

Alex, couldn't agree more. This should be a tool, not the dominant part of a new interface imposed on all users. I think Facebook will backtrack on that by the end of 2012.

People seem to prefer talking about this over on Facebook, naturally, so feel free to join in the discussion over there:

Completely agree, Steve. These bills haven't received the attention they deserve by the scandal-obsessed mainstream media.
