Many of my own friends have joined the super-group. Personally, I like the changes. However, my friends list is small - it really is only my friends, and so to me everything in the feed is interesting. The people who have huge friend lists have suddenly realised that they're broadcasting to the masses. I can't believe none of this picked up in testing though. They did test it, didn't they??

I think these new tools would have kept me more interested, but as i continue on my digital journey i find myspace and especially new things like www.uplayme.com starting to fill the void. good luck FB but i wont likely return.
