Just so we’re all on the same page:
Facebook has implemented new features. These new features quickly tell you what updates your friends have made lately.
Everyone is freaking out about it.
In a matter of six hours, I’ve become so tired of hearing about and being invited to groups condemning it that I’m ready to forego the “Poke” feature in favor of the “Punch In The Neck Even If It Means Driving Nine Hours To Your House” feature.
Seriously, if you’re that worked up about it, DON’T USE THE SITE. The collective sense of my generation would make me weep for our future, if I were the weepy type, or if I thought it had a chance in the first place.

Haha — it was hilarious to see how much of an impact it made on this campus — shows how integrated it is in our lives.
I had emailed the FB team out of curiosity of what made them decide to do the feature. Of course Mark Zuckerberg then released his open letter onto the homepage. The team was cool and replied back to me personally though, but I they discussed the privacy issue, which was not even a problem with me, so I feel like they might have copied and pasted that same response to every individual possibly (since I know they got tons of emails).
