Facebook Status of the Day

A good high school friend said this late this afternoon. Made me laugh.

Fear the New Facebook Layout!

Now that everyone has transitioned to the "semi-new" news feed layout on Facebook, I am here to say that that change was just the proverbial TIP OF THE ICEBERG! I can't believe the number of people FREAKING out over such a simple MINOR change to the News Feed, when they really haven't seen the real deal.

Supposedly, the new layout will come at the start of next month (OCTOBER 1), and will look drastically different, so different that many will now migrate to Google Plus. You've seen the current layout - description of yourself on the top, a five-page collage underneath, and then the long-running Recent Activity underneath - all in a vertical fashion.

CURRENT VERSION:

NOW, the layout will be HORIZONTAL, with your "Cover Photo"/Profile Picture taking up THE ENTIRE SCREEN - I kid you not. Now, instead of the current three-column layout, there are only two - with both columns filled with your recent activity (instead of the one-column scroll-all-the-way-down look for the "Recent Activity" section). Mr. Zuckerberg is emphasizing the new profile page "Timeline" layout, where the middle bar is a timeline separating the two columns - initially VERY confusing if you are trying to find certain content on your profile page.

Like how one commenter on Mashable noted:

"These changes will make or break the Zuckerberg’s empire. Some Facebook users may try or tried Google already, and some are just reacting but staying on Facebook."

Drumroll, please...

*NEW* Facebook Layout:

So, what do you think of the new changes?

Epic Pokemon Battle

If you do not know, I am a huge fan of Pokemon - anything revolving around the Japanese cartoon, especially edited videos. I bring this up because we all love doing homework, so I bring you the most epic Pokemon battle there is:

Human versus Homework!




I especially liked the fact that Homework used "Facebook" as an attack; that the student used an "energy drink" as an item (similar to "awakening"); and that as a replacement for "HP" was the time to defeat homework.
