July 31, 200816 yr No thank you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What do people think of the new layout? It makes my head want to explode. I opted to go back to the old one.
July 31, 200816 yr it just popped up on my banner today, i think it was just randomly being rolled out.
July 31, 200816 yr Yeah, definitely don't like how slow the photos section is - and the wall as the main (first) thing you see for a person can be a bit much.
July 31, 200816 yr If you use Firefox, try the Boost Extension for Facebook. One of my parts allows you to mouse over an image and it immediately is shown in a pop up. I am so very upset Hasbro has made the creators of Scrabulous pull their app.
July 31, 200816 yr Me, too. Big time. By far, one of my favorite things about Facebook. Buncha corporate, money-grubbing assholes.
August 1, 200816 yr The new Facebook sucks...I tried it out and after about 2 minutes I couldn't take it any longer and switched back. I don't know why they file everything away seperatelly. I liked having everything in one profile screen instead of having to toggle back and forth between 3 or 4 different areas.
August 1, 200816 yr It grows on you. I've been using it for about a month now. I miss the dedicated Wall for posts. Now, status updates are mixed in :(
August 2, 200816 yr I've got a pretty big group on Facebook supporting the Columbus Streetcar. ;) http://www.new.facebook.com/group.php?gid=8974865836
August 3, 200816 yr and let's not forget the ultra cool facebook group about a webpage! (UO) http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2210039502
August 3, 200816 yr and let's not forget the ultra cool facebook group about a webpage! (UO) http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2210039502 I had no clue this group even existed...Looks like ill be member 81 to the group!
August 4, 200816 yr Wow... I do NOT like the new facebook at alllll! I started freaking out because I couldn't figure out how to switch back... my sister had to show me... Pretty much the scariest part of my day.

August 6, 200816 yr My old band's touring trailer got broken into outside our rehearsal space during a three day layover in Detroit.
August 6, 200816 yr Kind of funny, for how long that list is, what a small amount of equipment that is. Seriously do only two stacks get the job done these days? I've seen guys play with two full stacks in a 30x30 room before!
August 6, 200816 yr One of the great quotes in all of rock and roll: "You can't turn down a Marshall stack." --Incredulous response from 15 year-old kid in opening band whose amp was completely drowning out every other instrument in his band. Oshawa, Ontario. March 1998.
August 7, 200816 yr >"You can't turn down a Marshall stack." My uncle does a "marshall stack impression", where he turns his back on an imaginary crowd, gets on his tip-toes, and over-reaches to an imaginary amp above a ridiculously high imaginary stack. He then asks in a British accent "how does it sound out there, does it need more Presence?" and then someone will say "yeah, just a tad more!". Anybody whose turned a Marshall presence knob knows why that's hilarious. And for someone who hasn't, it's because the "presence" knob does absolutely nothing! LATEST: The stolen van belonging to punk icons IGGY POP + THE STOOGES has been recovered - but the band's equipment has yet to be found. The truck - containing the group's gear - was stolen outside their hotel after a concert in Montreal, Canada on Monday (04Aug08). And Canadian police have confirmed the vehicle has now been found abandoned a short distance from the place where it was stolen. But there is no sign of any of the items which were stored inside. The rockers have launched a new website appealing for help in tracking down the missing equipment.
August 7, 200816 yr The new Facebook sucks...I tried it out and after about 2 minutes I couldn't take it any longer and switched back. I don't know why they file everything away seperatelly. I liked having everything in one profile screen instead of having to toggle back and forth between 3 or 4 different areas. So true.
August 11, 200816 yr I promised myself I wouldn't post anymore of these but I can't resist, especially with the urban environment analogies so pertainent to this site: #106 Facebook July 31, 2008 by clander Social Networking sites have been embraced by white people since their inception. Because these sites use profile pages, white people can more efficiently judge friends and future friends on their taste in film, books, music, and inspirational quotes. Advanced level white people, fearful of being judged on their tastes from last week, will often only list one or two ironic things as their favorites. For example under music they would simply list “P.M. Dawn” or under films they would choose only Armageddon. In both cases these ironic answers serve as protective shields from the harsh gaze of other white people. However, it is important to remember that the “where” is often as important as the “who” when it comes to social networking. As noted in earlier posts, white people are obsessed with being in the right neighborhood and the Internet is no exception. In the early days, white people joined a social networking service called Friendster where they could connect with old friends and make new ones. Eventually, white people started to notice more and more of their friends on MySpace, so they closed their Friendster accounts and migrated to the new service. It was like living in a neighborhood that was pretty good but kind of far away, so you might have to miss out on a few parties. Needless to say, this was unacceptable. For a brief period of time, MySpace was the site where everyone kept their profile and managed their friendships. But soon, the service began to attract fake profiles, the wrong kind of white people, and struggling musicians. In real world terms, these three developments would be equivalent to a check cashing store, a TGIFridays, and a housing project. All which strike fear in the hearts of white people. White people were nervous but had nowhere else to go. Then Facebook came along and offered advanced privacy settings, closed networks, and a clean interface. In respective real world terms, these features are analogous to an apartment or house with a security system/doorman, an alumni dinner, and a homeowners association that protects the aesthetics of the neighborhood. In spite of these advances, some white people still clung to their old MySpace accounts. That was until they learned that Facebook started, like so many things beloved by white people, at Harvard. Within a matter of months, MySpace had gone from a virtual utopia to Digital Detroit, where only minorities and indie bands remain. If you plan on befriending white people, it is essential that you join them in the digital suburbs and open a Facebook account immediately. It’s also a good idea to make up a story about how someone from high school sent you a friend request and after accepting you discovered that they were fat and unsuccessful. White people love these stories. www.stuffwhitepeoplelike.wordpress.com
August 13, 200816 yr Online student-teacher friendships can be tricky By Mallory Simon updated 10:00 a.m. EDT, Wed August 13, 2008 (CNN) -- Randy Turner knows there's a huge gap in age and technology between him and his adolescent students. Critics say social-networking site communications blur the necessary line between educators and students. More at cnn.com: http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/08/12/studentsteachers.online/index.html
August 19, 200816 yr A young female professor sent me a very personal and flirtatious email last year; boy was that awkward.
August 21, 200816 yr ^^There's a hard-to-spot tab at the top of the home page. Look up there to the left.
August 21, 200816 yr KFOW, that video occupies a special place in my heart, as I was about the age of the kids in the video when the video came out, and my views of women, wealth, and the world which persists to this day were largely shaped by David Lee Roth and Rodney Dangerfield. That video is also a great cultural relic illustrating how fantastic the world was before rap & MADD & pro tools. Let's see somebody into "drum & bass" attempt either that drum part or that bass part. Or even the bass player's backing vocals! Teachers suck -------> Kids Rule!
September 8, 200816 yr Spammers are infultrating facebook! I just got a friend request from someone named "Archetype Leukemia". She's looking for a "third person to have fun with and doesn't want to be in a relationship"!
September 9, 200816 yr Spammers are infultrating facebook! I just got a friend request from someone named "Archetype Leukemia". She's looking for a "third person to have fun with and doesn't want to be in a relationship"! Damn boy!!! Do it!
September 19, 200816 yr The new layout is totally stupid, scattered, temporary-looking. I suppose the way there's that big box where you tell people what you're doing appeals to people who text message. Which means they're either female or they're hopeless. Okay, so what the hell is with people who you barely remember finding you, then constantly pestering you with "I'm on a sailboat!", "I'm eating Italian Food -- life is good!", "12 hours before I leave for ***ARIZONA!***", whatever.
September 19, 200816 yr Hmmm, I like it. I especially like the live feed. Great for stalking. I also like how the bookmarks are now on the bottom. I guess some people just don't like change.
September 19, 200816 yr I hated the new layout when I first saw it, but now i don't mind it so much. Maybe I'm just used to it now.
September 20, 200816 yr I hate how you can't see networks anymore. When people post on your wall it doesn't say the network you're in, and you can't search for friends from different schools anymore.
October 12, 200816 yr Just for sh!ts and giggles, if anyone wants to join the clevelandskyscrapers.com fan club, now's your chance! http://www.facebook.com/pages/clevelandskyscraperscom/29471643751?ref=mf clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
December 8, 200816 yr These photos appeared on my cousin's facebook page. Two things first off: 1. Thank heavens we don't know what sort of dreadful music was playing and 2. Maybe Ohio Brain-Drain isn't such a bad thing. In 3 or 4 years half of these folks will be the east coast's problem. Third, whoever this photographer was (not my cousin, btw), they have a brilliant anti-aesthetic which seemed to be winking at the whole event but I fear this was just one beautiful accident after another. This party didn't need to happen, and it didn't need to be documented! Hell, this apartment didn't need to happen! A truly incredible photograph: Dude's checking her out, plus look at the little finger securing the cell phone: The ladies, nice & out-of-focus:
December 8, 200816 yr Ugh. I detest people who wear North Face as some sort of a fashion statement, but never go hiking or backpacking, much less step foot into the outdoors. It's for OUTDOOR use.
December 8, 200816 yr What is so wrong with those pictures? It's people at a party...does picture taken have to be profound and of great composition? Those people look to be having fun, so what does it matter what a bunch of people on fucking UrbanOhio.com think? This site can be so obnoxious sometimes.
December 8, 200816 yr Ugh. I detest people who wear North Face as some sort of a fashion statement, but never go hiking or backpacking, much less step foot into the outdoors. It's for OUTDOOR use. Northface jackets are comfortable. That's why I wear 'em, anyway. There's really no difference between wearing a Northface jacket to walk somewhere vs. hiking somewhere. They're not going to help you get up hills or rock climb. I think people like 'em because they're timeless..they don't really go out of style. I got one that is just basic black with a logo. Also, if anything goes wrong with a Northface jacket, they have a lifetime guarantee. It does suck that douchebags with no personality tend to wear them though. They ruin it for other northface wearers.
December 8, 200816 yr I swear if someone posted photos of me at a party on a forum I wasn't aware of, I'd be incredibly pissed.
