Well, whaddya know… Facebook has changed their layout (again) and people are losing their s**t (again).
But fear not! Photographer Mark Meyer created a simple, color-coded chart that explains everything:
Some brave souls have decided to persevere yet another storm using the only comfort they can find in such a dark time as this: humor.
But for others, the trust issues have simply become too much to bear.
Interestingly enough, just yesterday Google+ finally opened its doors to the masses and is no longer an invitation-only community. Will this drive the angry Facebook mob away…
…or will we all get over our collective Asperger’s in a few days like we always do whenever Facebook changes anything?

Copy & paste this:
i wonder what Honey Badger thinks of all this.
Not much!
I know what the birds and hyena’s think…
“THANKS FOR THE SNACKS, STUPID!!!”
And all the fish!
What! Lions, tigers, bears, OH MY!!!!
It’s things like this that make me remember how glad I am that I have a mobile phone. Need to find out where my mates are? Text! Need to know what my mates have just eaten? I don’t need to know what my friends just eaten! Need to talk to someone about something? Phone!
I don’t have friends…
You’re the envy of the world.
Nope, Chuck Testa.
Just talked to him, doesn’t give a s**T.
Not much.
every time FB changes, the consensus is that it gets worse. I wish I had signed on sooner, so I could know how incredibly awesome it must have been way back then.
Repeat in 3 months.
Facebook should have gone farther: I would like to see a lot MORE information & features!!
Such as:
- All of my friends’ core body temperatures and current heart rates;
- real time stock tickers from Albania, Somalia and Laos
- the ability to not just “poke” someone, but “slap” them as well; and
- smell-o-meter readings
There are stock tickers for Laos? Isn’t it in upheaval right now?
KYRGYZSTAN. Spell it. I dare you.
I’ve actually been to Kyrgyzstan! Bishkek mostly, but went to a friend’s village for a few weeks, too. Loved it.

…..you going to the mall later? That’s what I’m asking.
Oh Billy, you must miss him so.
No, YOU spell it.
I-T.
It.
it!

They’ll get to that point soon. They’ll do it once Apple creates iPhone 5, where they monitor your heat temperature through a sensory function, and they also monitor your facial expression, then, Facebook will implement that though webcam and BOOOM, everyone can know if you’re sad, happy or whatever, instead of people going “sad” on their status.
Why not just implant a chip that’s linked up to facebook through the government. It just seems so much simpler.
The only possible facebook status that can ever really be true is “I am currently updating my status on facebook”
Further studies would be needed, but all and all, we can build it. We have the technology.
Actually I would totally go for that slapping one.
the ‘core body temp’ thing sounds cool, mainly because it would require people to walk around with rectal thermometers.
I actually quite like the new facebook.
because its basically a copy of google+
And Twitter. I don’t care for it, mainly because I don’t give a s–t if my friends comment on their friends’ things. I don’t need an alert every time someone posts a status and I don’t need to know when someone is talking to someone I don’t know. Too creepy for me.
I find it funny how they have implemented new features that are equivalent to G+…
But feel retarded compared to Google+.
i find it funny how g+ copied facebook wholesale, then facebook copies features back over and it’s now worth noting derisively.
I find it funny how both are retarded and Facebook is just easier to get to so you can use it than g+.
I find it funny how G+ copied facebook and how facebook copied myspace and how myspace copied friendster. Welcome to the world of taking someone else’s idea and expanding on it. Kind of how the world works.
You forgot Xanga. Myspace was just a better Xanga, and Facebook a better Myspace, now they have Twitter and Friendster and even Google and Yahoo are trying to join in.
Sort of like Minecraft and Terraria. Or Bond and Bourne.
I do too, though things aren’t perfect I’d say. The twitter in the corner keeps moving and blocking what I’m trying to see. It’s still a hell of a lot better than Google+.
So, even if a service is free, the users are not allowed to have there individual opinions on how that service may be better for them?
I for one would like to sort my news feed with the most recent option that seems to be gone now. Especially since this new way of sorting seems to put things in a random order based on what Facebook ‘thinks’ I will want to read first…
You can tell the OP of that ecard doesn’t use facebook and probably never did. The new page just makes no sense to me, I need everything chronologically ordered. Apparently that makes no sense to anyone but me.
Facebook status updates aren’t X-Men comics, and most are pointless moments of blah anyways, but because they’re written and possess our names to it, it’s special to us, and that we belong there. Like what I’m writting right now(Sorry, no troll food from me).
This is my issue with it as well. Getting sick of everyone from the Fed to Facebook trying to tell me what I like and want to see. We’re apparently no longer capable of choosing such things for ourselves.
So far on G+, I’m not having that problem, so as long as it stays that way it may be “Sayonara, Facebook!” for me.
According to the internet, your time is worth nothing. So, all the time you’ve put into Facebook, generating ad revenue for the company, is not worth consideration.
Well, to be completely honest, my time is pretty shoddily spent. But Facebook still sucks. I say that and I am honestly trying to ween myself off of it. It’s not going so well.
Also lol at the “not obligated to use”. I guess you’re not obligated to have a social life either, and to keep on top of friends, parties, and other things.
I would have commented earlier but, because of the changes on facebook, I got lost along the way
I was lost in the nothingness that suddenly became my newsfeed.
#firstworldproblems
They have facebook in the 3rd world too y’know. #firstworldknowledge
my god, imagine the upheaval this caused in places like the middle east and asia!
Look how he’s calmer, now that he replaced his lollaptop with a real pc. Just goes to prove desktops are better.
What?
So sorry, he broke out of the um…the psych ward. Yeah, that’s it.
*Shoves Vicarious into large metal box. Locks.
If Charlie Sheen changed his website layout, he’d be Charlie Newscreen
Carrot Top has found failblog. Abandon ship.
3 weeks later he bought a PC.
Hmmm. “…or will we all get over our collective Asperger’s in a few days like we always do whenever Facebook changes anything?” I actually do have Asperger’s and I like the new layout. It makes sense, it’s well organized, and the obvious changes made because of competition make the amateur Austrian economist in me very happy.
I have asperger’s and it doesn’t make sense to me.
Same, it’s quite irritatins
*self-diagnosed asperger’s
I have fully diagnosed and accredited Asperger’s and I officially don’t care one way or the other.
As covered by The Oatmeal last time Facebook did this:
http://theoatmeal.com/pl/state_web_winter/facebook_layout
Every time new changes hit fb, I wouldn’t mind checking them out on my own profile.. But, its layout hasn’t changed in over a year. My friends come over, sign into their account using my computer, and they have the new layouts, etc.. But, mine’s still the same as it was in the beginning of 2010, I’m guessing…
Honestly, whenever Facebook has changed, it really hasn’t bothered me too much. But seriously, this new layout is incredibly stupid. One of my “Top Stories” that Facebook decided would “interest” me was my aunt going “Hmmm…” That’s it. Just “Hmmm…” Yep. Totally worth being at the very top of my page.
Zomg! Breakig news! Why did Villy’s aunt post “Hmmm” as her facebook status more at 11.
I don’t have facebook, but I do want to point out that because of loyal users, the facebook company has done quite well for itself. They’re in a business model in which their users don’t pay for services directly, but it is sort of like television: if nobody uses it, they’re not going to make money.
So they do kind of owe the users. The users are the ones who made the whole thing possible in the first place.
It is rather like that Simpsons episode several years ago, when Bart argued that Itchy & Scratchy provide free entertainment and the viewers, if anything, owed them. But the fact is that a tv show gets its money because of its viewers (not to mention that in this case, we do pay for cable access and suffer through annoying commercials).
haha, I can almost connect with the guy in the last cartoon
freak out for a while but then I just get used to it. The only thing that doesn’t make a full connection is that I don’t go tossing my computer over it o;
Click “Add Friend”. It now prompts you what list to put that requested friend just like Google+. Also I don’t like the idea of squeezing in the Ticker in the chat sidebar… could’ve put somewhere else.
But now I can STALK PEOPLE easier than ever WITH THE NEW TICKER MUAHAHHAHA
Personally, I’ve seen a total of two layout changes to FB because I’ve only had it for a few months now.
However, the latest layout sucks. I would like to have my news feed sorted chronologically, but apparently whoever designed the latest layout doesn’t think that chronological order makes any sense.
Honestly, I should have seen this coming when I noticed that my news feed automatically reverted to the ‘Top News’ whenever I logged on.
Also, I have a Greasemonkey script called ‘Better Facebook’ that allowed my to customize the layout any way I liked. It no longer works with the new layout.
Thankfully, In a week or so, a new Greasemonkey script should be out to undo most (or possibly all) of this. So I’ll just wait.

WE GET IT ALREADY! You have no experience with the service at all, but you want everyone to think you’re very clever. How many times do you need to post that?
You obviously have no Frickin idea what Asperger’s means.
Why must they be mutually exclusive? Why can’t they co-exist?
What does “mildy” mean?
THIS IS FREAKING HILARIOUS!!!!!!
i dont know where failbooking is getting this idea that “we get over the changes in a few days” cuz i STILL (and a lot of my friends) have not gotten over or used to the changes facebook made 8 months ago…. but the recent changes are so drastic and horrible i AM thinking about leaving facebook for google+.
They’re gonna be changing it again really drastically soon. There was a press conference today, they’re totally changing the profile system. I’m curious as to what it’ll be like.
Don’t fool yourself…I still hate chat, and I will not like ticker, everytime i post comments which used to be set to private get shot to ticker, I fell violated, because those comment were selected by me to remain only in the place I had commented. Keep thinking we will be submissive, but the discontent grows STRONGER every day. Keep fooling yourself FB. This will be my last post on the topic, I now remove my personal self from FB, and run a fake profile to keep doing my page admins, and wait for you to bleed yourselves to death.
*heard
adapt or die
The only thing worse than people whining about FB changes is people whining about people whining about FB changes.
Which technically means this missive is whining about about whining about people whining about FB changes, but I don’t give a flying F*, so there.
^C-c-c-combo breaker!
Facebook came up yet again with a new, even crappier profile! Hard to imagine that was actually possible, right?!
http://www.vectorash.ro/facebook-new-crap-profile-reloaded/
1.) flip laptop.
2.) use magic desktop with no computer on same table.
3.) ???
4.) PROFIT!!!1eleven!
Yo Dawg Uve been Facebookcepted.
uMad?
I take serious offense at that Asperger’s remark. Make sure that there aren’t people who actually have been diagnosed with that on your websites before you make fun of it. >_>
I came to the comments just to see people whine about the asperger’s remark. You mad ass burgers?
