The newest edition to facebook that was announced at the f8 conference is that you’ll be able to stream content through your facebook page. They’ve partnered with Netflix, Hulu, DirecTV and a bunch of other entertainment companies to streamline content with a double-click. Facebook is literally taking over! Great, just one more thing to add to our A.D.D.

At the conference, Mark Zuckerberg demonstrated how the new facebook ticker will stream what everyone is watching to draw more consumers into watching more content on Facebook. So, basically this is his big plan to infiltrate our lives even more, and completely throw privacy out the window. I’m all for social networking, and I half think this partnership is a good idea, but I don’t like the voyeuristic qualities that are associated with the idea.

Oh…and…the new facebook layout sucks!!!!

    Nads, I totally agree with you. I don’t go on Facebook for 2 weeks and when I finally do, the layout it different. It is so crowded and there is so much crap on it. I hate it. Now, more crap on the freaking page. Facebook keeps doing this, they are going to fall hard like Myspace did. That is what you get for being greedy.

    I just think it is really dumb to streamline everything. It just feels like it will make people lazier because they cannot type to go to a different website. I mean, I am lazy but even I have my limits. I will type in a new website to go see a video. I will do everything else. This just bothers me.

    Hope you are well Nads!

    Totally agreed. As a person who was waaay late on the fb train (my sis literally forced me to create a page), I’m even less likely to keep up with it anytime it becomes any more ccrowded and complicated than the last time I logged on. If it aint broke, don’t fix it, right? HATE.

    I HATE it too. There is a way to change the page back but I just have not done it yet.
