It is nothing personal against high school students. It is just the fact that I knew them being allowed into Facebook would turn it for the worst, and from the looks of facebook these days I was right.

It has turned into a ridiculous, gimmicky, PoS with tons of apps and things that make the pages look like a joke. It other words, it turned into myspace.

That's cool of them to do and all, but I hope they don't become like MySpace. Seriously, all the account hacking, spam commenting and sellout is why I switched in the first place. Although they do have that stupid application shize going on already..

They really need to kill the apps thing. I really liked facebook before they did that! Now, half of people's pages are extremely cluttered and it is heading the way of myspace!
