The Ensuckification of Facebook Continues
Vodkapundit ^ | July 27, 2012 | Stephen Green

It’s official: Facebook is forcing us all to switch our profiles to the new “Timeline” format, whether we want it or not. I can assure you that, empirically, it sucks.

Wouldn’t know. Have never succumbed to invitations to sign up for Facebook.

IMO, FB is nothing more than a fad gone wrong. A self imposed cultural Ponzi scheme. Only one outcome possible.

The only thing that might keep pounding on it's chest is the government as they see it as an amazing big brother tool. But I doubt all the kings horses... can keep it viable for more than a few years.

As above, JMO.

That’s been official for a long time. And really the whining is silly. Yeah timeline looks a little goofy, but really how often do you look at your own postings? And if you actually want to look at stuff you did in the past it’s a heck of a lot easier with timeline that it was before.

Oh no! The FREE service you use is changing its format to one you don’t use!!

The nerve of not consulting you on the matter.

/Facebook users are nothing more than marketing test subjects. And you give them that info willingly and at no cost.

Ensuckification. Now that’s a great new word to describe FB.

Yes, Facebook, the application, will ultimately go away.

Social networking, however, is here to stay.

It even happens on this site.

I have a throwaway FB account with a throwaway email address and a bogus name.

Get my daily talking points from Palin and Cain.

Baraq and Holder will track me down anyway from my IP address but I hope to escape to the Caribbean and work in a boutique medical clinic for non-Obamcare medical consumers.

You bashers are nuts. Facebook rocks for promoting conservative causes. I manage 5 pages with over 2 million fans. We are able to mobilize tens of thousands of calls, emails, and faxes at will to direct an issue our way. Yes, Timeline is horrible, a big mistake for Zuckerberg. But FB as a whole is great for us activists.

I like and enjoy facebook. It’s a good way to stay in touch with friends, family, and like minded people. I don’t NEED it, but it’s nice to have.

Facebook is a great tool for getting started with a small business. I just started with my page (very small so far, stained glass), and most of my sales are word of mouth and friend-of-friends. So far, it’s working great!

I don’t like Timeline either, but not complaining!
