According to Time Magazine, This May Be My Generation's "First Official Revolution"

So, what are all my peeps revolting over? Facebook, of course!

And to our credit, the "News Feed" feature is legitimately creepy. Sketchtastic, you might say. Do we really need such quick, easy, and public access to everything our "friends" do on Facebook? When relationships begin, end and reconcile all over again? When somebody joins a group? Leaves a group? Goes to a party? Leaves a message on a wall? Even the smallest profile change is recorded and logged. It's like everyone got "Big Brother" powers over night.

Seriously, if you have a Facebook account, go to your "home" and look at this damn thing. It's a giant two step guide to stalking. Step 1: look at your News Feed. Step 2: commence stalking.

"Le Facebook hast gone tu fah! Fire ze missiles!"

So after you check it out and agree that the line is a dot to Facebook, log out and run far, far away.

Wow, I'm glad we're taking up such great causes...

Option number three to either being stalked or blowing up your account is to just make changes like once a year, just so your friends know you're alive. I'm kinda leaning that way...

But I like the news feed... *sniffle* It's not like Facebook was all that non-stalkerish before - we just had to work for it. Now we don't. *commences facebook stalking*
