Facebook users protest home page changes

Yes, again! As the popular social networking website, Facebook continues its makeover policy, a “Change Facebook Back to Normal” group at the website claimed slightly more than a million members urging the social networking giant to change back.

On Friday, Facebook modified its news feed feature to let members of the world’s leading social-networking service catch up on tidbits they may have missed while away from the website. However this change, as like the previous times, yet again triggered ire amongst the millions of users that prefer things remain the same.

“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” a Facebook user with the screen name Carlos Deleon wrote on a protest group chat page clearly stating the preference for the former page and in protest against the company’s policy to continuously introduce changes in its homepage.

The Facebook’s new feature enables the users to switch between getting real time streams of news or activities taking place and the highlights of what their friends have shared in the preceding 24 hours. The new concept of Live Feed option funnels updates and news about online friends’ activities to Facebook home pages.

Twitter, Facebook costing British economy £1.38bn

Twitter and Facebook! That’s how you keep in touch with your numerous friends and well wishers across the world. Touted as two of the most popular and the fastest growing social networking sites, these are known to be the best way to keep yourself updated about the every minute happening around the world.

However, the British economy might not appreciate this cult. According to a new survey, popular social networking sites including Twitter and Facebook are actually costing British businesses 1.38 billion pounds a year in wasted time.

The figures in the survey reveal a rather sad figure. According to the figures, more than half the office employees have admitted using these social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook for personal use during the working day. Reportedly, they have admitted wasting as much as a good 40 minutes on average a week each!

According to the report published in The Daily Telegraph, one in every three of the 1460 office employees surveyed also admitted having seen sensitive company information posted on social networking sites, leading to fears about how workers use the Internet.
