I had to laugh a bit when I read this post on Rev2.org about 'angry facbookers' and the author's particular disdain with Facebook's choice to enroll every user in the new platform. It is amazing to me that people will really complain about everything.

First of all, did they have a choice? As it is the platform and its associated applications are somewhat difficult to navigate and get used to for first time users and the less tech-savvy. Had Facebook made the introduction of the new applications an option, few would have opted in as they didn't really do very good advertising of the new functionality in a way that was directed at actual users. Beyond that, I think the solution to this is simple, don't add the applications if you don't want them. As far as friends profiles...well..,tough. Adding an option to have them not visible is silly. Personally, I found Facebook useless before the new applications and I really can't imagine how anyone could not see the utility in adding at least one. And I can't believe there is a firefox extension to block them! People have too much time on their hands. But I guess each to their own, change is not for everyone even if its for the better.
