Facebook

      I think sometimes businesses etc. lose their way when they start catering outside their target audience. I think it happened when the NHL tried the glowing puck etc. to try and get people who didn't care about the game to care about the game. I think it happens in baseball when they try to find ways to speed up the game. The true baseball fan is sitting in the stands in the sun with a beer (or several) and isn't complaining about the speed of the game.
      It seems like the same thing is happening on Facebook. I like Facebook. Always have. I like that it helps me keep up with what friends are doing, thinking etc. It seems like now people are being chastised for doing what made Facebook what it is. I see lots of posts (and may be guilty of jokingly sharing a few) saying: don't share your political views, or I don't care if you went to the gym or what you had for dinner.                     
      Personally I say update it. I want to see it. I like knowing what is going on in my friends lives. If someone posts too much stuff you don't want to see and you can't just ignore it then hide their updates or change which ones you see. I like the original way people used Facebook and I hope people continue to do it.
