What is up with the new Facebook Newsfeed thing?

[Patrick]

This was an update made to Facebook that they have been working on for a while. The guys over at Palo Alto decided that you needed some more pointless crap on your wall. While technically this stuff was on your home page all along, it was just in the highlights section on the right hand side of the page. My guess would be that by clearing out the side panels of their webpages, Facebook can allow more advertisement space to be sold and thereby increasing their already huge profits.

There are two options now however, you can either watch the news feed or the live feed. The news feed is a closer match to the original, with just the highlights thrown it. The live feed however has as much crap as you can imagine in it. So with even 200+ friends you and everyone else is going to have to troll though everything on the page to find something even remotely interesting. Sorry bud, wait till next year and then facebook will probably be obsolete and a new social site will pop up.
