I have been screaming into the void regarding the depressing re-formatting of Facebook. For me, the major change was in the decreased control given to users regarding the graphic layout of their profile page. Before, one could adjust the size of uploaded photos, videos, etc. Now everything is uniform, resulting in an absence of correlation between form and content -- a diminishment of individuality. Whereas, before the change, a user could foment self-expression via the arrangement of the profile page, now he is left only with prefabricated quizzes of an increasingly sinister inconsecuentiality with which to define himself. Seems like the corporate hand is at work, choreographing a uniformity whose economic intent has not yet been unveiled. Nice commentary.
