I'm not sure why everyone whines and complains about the changes in facebook - I thought this culture was supposed to be able to adapt easily? It seems with every new change there is a new facebook group to oppose that change (sounds kind of like "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction?")

This TIME article has an interesting quote from Meredith Chin, a manager for Facebook: "It's going to be more about the message you want to send to others than what you're doing at that very moment....a timeline - or a stream."

I think Facebook updates are already this way - or a sort of mixture b/w statuses and updates, with a hint of song lyrics, inside jokes and URL's. Regardless, Facebook continues to amaze me - tens of millions of people sharing information and their life together, with it quickly integrating video, pictures, blogs, notes, and more and more and more and more information.

Another thought from Phyliss Tickle: It's not wonder at the end of the day we come home exhausted. We are overloaded with so much information pounding into our head, we can't fit it all together.
