A New Facebook?

Earlier this summer, CIA-owned social networking site and happy meal sugar injection ‘Facebook’ had a clever overhaul. This new look threatens to share even more of your information to friends and those embarrassing photos of you getting intoxicated and trying to hump everything in the room to your work mates and managers. After switching to this new Facebook I’ve been told that my ex girlfriend is already seeing someone else and several of my good friends have gone away on holiday without inviting me, it’s a bit of a bummer really.

Is this new way of sharing information really that great? I wish for the good old days on Myspace where you would have to trawl through endless reels of brightly coloured, seizure inducing profiles and computer lagging amounts of video to find out the latest gossip about that girl your friends, friend embarrassingly had an encounter with at that party last week.

Will the public embrace this new type of soul-sucking network forever or will it simply become a passing fad like all the rest of them? Will data from social networks ever become so tightly integrated that even your doctors and the police will be able to know practically everything about you without your knowledge?
