Stop your facebook whining

Change facebook back to the old facebook….

If 4,000,000 people join this groub, fb promised they would change back…

Dislike button, need 7,000,000 members…

We liked facebook the way it was, change it back…

Right, yes, please, facebook change back to the old way, we’ve all always loved the old system.  I struggle to remember a time (say about six months ago) when all these whiners were complaining about the change from the very old to the now old.  We were all up in arms about the new tabs and the live feed, and now that small changes were made, we’re suddenly horribly attached to what we hated yesterday.

Now I understand, I’m not a huge fan of change usually.  But come on, at least realize what you’re saying.  If facebook hadn’t ever made changes it would look like this:

The "New" Facebook in 1862

I think I’ve made my point.  So stop wasting your time whining, and give change and innovation a shot.  If you’ve still got something to say then make constructive criticism or actually do something productive about it.  And I’m not only talking about fb anymore.

Anyways, so what do I suggest other than whining?  Well you could learn how to program and help the developers, but that’s a bit of a time commitment.  So just leave all those silly groups and join If 1,000,000 People Join This Group, Facebook Won’t Care.

If you don’t like the junk in your news feed try this greasemonkey script called facebook purity (you’ll need anything other than ie, I recommend firefox).  And while you’re doing firefox stuff, you could always give a dislike button a try.  Only other people with the extension will be able to see the dislikes, but hey its a lot closer than complaining by joining a group will ever get you.

Now apply this to something that actually matters, because although the world may revolve around facebook the sun doesn’t, and don’t just complain about things that aren’t right–actually go and try to do something about them.
