I hear you!
I hate the fact that my profile layout changes every 3 months. I need to adapt to a new profile. I understand facebook think they are helping us but the good old quote says – “don’t fix something that’s not broken” – and I think that applies here.

At The NY Post, certain stories have your photo and all info, despite the fact you are NOT logged into FB at the time and DID disable instant personalization. This is outrageous.

Well that’s one thing BING will not like to hear. They plan to introduce a search engine for Facebook that will highly depend on “Like it”- clicks and less on backlinks as Google does. Time will tell :)

AT ALL! and its pissing me off because what i post is NOWHERE near what 80% of the people on facebook (or at least my friends list) post on their walls! i need to block my mom or something. but i cant let her figure out that i blocked her or i could get my facebook “taken away” or just get a warning. any help? ):
