Guess what? Facebook didn’t spend millions of dollars redesigning their website to change it back because a few people don’t like it. My favourite thing I’ve seen is this group called IF 10 MILLION JOIN MARC ZOMBERG WILL BRING BACK THE OLD FACEBOOK! The description of the group reads:
Today I received a message from Marc Zomberg the founder of the greatest company and he told me to make this group he wants to know how many people realy want the old facebook back, so he could bring it back.
Now we need everyone who want the old facebook back to join this group and invite everyone because he gave us only 20 days to do this.
Hurry up and invite we have only 20 days to do this.
I died when I read this. Literally, I died. I only came back to life to blog about this. First of all, his name isn’t Marc Zomberg. It’s Mark Zuckerberg. Second of all, we are to expect that this jackass (although potential genius if this group is the intentional joke that I think it is) received an email from founder of the greatest company himself, Marc Zomberg and went something like this:
“yo gui. i is hearin dat sum ppl dont like da new facebook so start a group and shit and let me no. holla bak.”
From there, he only gave him a 20 day deadline to prove to him that people didn’t want the new Facebook. You can all stop joining groups. It won’t work. Especially if you think that 10% of users not liking something is enough to convince them to change it back. Perhaps if the group got over 50 million users, Mr. Zomberg would consider changing it back, but short of that, I don’t see it happening.
A 10% disapproval rating? That's it? If the president of the US can't get impeached by only having a 10% approval rating, I doubt that Facebook will get changed back when only 10% of people (if the group succeeds) don't like it.
It reminds me of the forwards you sometimes get in your inbox that read:
Hello, my name is [Insert Professional-sounding Name Here] from [Insert Free Email Provider] and I'm here to tell you that if you don't forward this to 50 people, we'll assume that you don't use your email and delete it.
Thanks for (letting me waste) your time,
[Insert Professional-sounding Name Here]
The bottom line is: the new Facebook is here to stay. Don't just hate it for stupid reasons like the fact that it's "more like MySpace" because now it's more organized... just like MySpace... right? (Spoiler Alert: This is wrong)If you want to give them constructive criticism, then contact them using the "Send Feedback" button in the top corner. Marc Zomberg will appreciate what you have to say.
