Facehub. Its Facebook, but it's not!

<p>So everyone has noticed that Facebook is changing. For better or worse, Zuckerberg is making some waves and we only have two choices. We can get in the boat with him and hope we make it, or jump ship and drown in social isolation. Since we all use Facebook, I think the choice is obvious.</p>
<p>So what's to come for the new Facebook? Well rest asssured this isn't going to be a simple layout change like we're usually used to. This time its being rearranged to the core. Rumors are even floating around the the "like" may be removed? How, and why would you do that? How can I like something if you take away the option?</p>
<p>The new setup is supposed to be a way to connect us better. Information will be shared in a much more open format. Every detail in a large timeline format. Privacy freaks, be ready to let your OCD kick in. Supposedly all the TV shows you watch, all the songs you listen to, will be fed straight into your Facebook feed for public pleasure. We can guess this is where the new subscription setup comes in. You subsribe to people and receive their feed in your list.

Now listen, I'm not trying to sound like a Google fanboy, but lets go over a quick translation chart.

Subscription = adding to your circle
List = your circle

Not trying to say there's a similarity, but there is. Google + anyone?

Will this work out? Maybe, maybe not. Alot of people like Facebook for its generality, myself included. Its nice to just have one feed. I usually don't use the seperate feeds on G+ (just circles for posting separately). Any thoughts or comments?

Have another great day,

Matt
