I have to write this letter, it needs to be done. You used to be my best friend, my one true buddy. Someone I could wake up to and turn on, now I am no longer seen by you?
New Facebook Rules
So with the New Facebook Rules I No Longer Like You. I dont. Its really true….I loved how easy it was to share my news, my pictures and my blog posts. Now unless I pay you, you ignore me and hide my status updates??? Whats with that!! Why should I have to pay you when before you were free.

You see I could easily jump on and find pages to “Like” and connnect with like minded people.
And I still can….
Yet if I set up a Business Page to help a great New Business they can’t opearate there Facebook page so easily….and whats the use for them? There is no point to try to build up their Page when they can’t connect with others. Oh thats right, its for your Benefit – they have to pay you for ads.
Its like you have to keep changing your rules on purpose, like you have a mind of your own…yet do you think about what your people want? Or need?
You must be a Man – changing the rules all of the time.
Letting us down, and Breaking promises. Yep it must be a man behind the scenes because no way would a women set up Facebook and change all of the rules – we like to keep things easy simple in our life. (oh that’s right a Man did set up Facebook, right?)
We like to know what we are doing, and how we are going about our day to day business easily. We like to keep our friends happy.
Beside the old Facebook Set up worked well so why the new way of doing things? Oh that’s right…its not us, its you.
I am sure I am not the only one you have let down, nor am I the only one whose heart is breaking.
You and I need to have a word, and you need to listen. Or we are over having a break.
I No Longer Like You. Cause you won’t let me like others…..so you are no longer my buddy, no longer my bestie, no longer my one true lover friend. I am searching online and heading towards Google+. At least there I can share and be seen….at least there I don’t have to “Pay” for my news to be shared.
At least I don’t feel like I am used and no longer approved.
New Facebook Rules You Suck Big Time.
Do You Like The New Facebook Rules?
Thanking you following our Journey.
Cheers

PS :: I am taking the mickey out of Facebook, Men and Women…I really don’t think that all Men let Women down and break Promises – some Men are actually very loving 🙂 But I still Reckon us Women would keep things basic!!!
My hubby keeps telling me that I am not building my brand using facebook, I am only building facebook. I have been seduced by the ease of sharing but now realise I need to concentrate on the blog and use fb for it’s original purpose to connect with others. I totally get your frustrations and those rule changes drive me nuts especially privacy ones which protect an image one day and make it public the next all without warning.
On the plus side I have made vast amounts of wonderful friends I would never have met otherwise so she is still my bestie (funny I think of fb as a her??) sending love and so enjoy your honesty. I wasn’t honest with my last post about our time in Bangkok and went back and shared what we were really dealing with and the response was just lovely. Thank goodness for friends xxx

FB used to be so easy to use, and also was my way of sharing…your hubby is smart! I am now trying to work out a better way to get the Business online (Its for Dave’s new boss) because FB is not what it used to be 🙂
Off to check out what really went down in Bangkok xxx
oooh I hadn’t notice. But on an aside, I have just been reading a TIME article this weekend about Facebook’s Chief Operating Officer who is a woman! Ahem. cough cough. Could she be responsible for your woes? Her name is Sheryl Sandberg and she’s written a book called Lean In about the internal barriers women have holding them back from going as far as they can.

Noooooo – do not tell me that!! It can’t be a women, it just cant 🙂
Maybe I need to get a copy of that book!!!
Thanks for letting me know, but now all of my fantasy’s are ruined!!! Actually that makes sense, only a women would work behind the scenes (after all we are smarter than men!!)
Giggle giggle. Funny Lady. I refuse to pay. (I must say I did try it once and frankly didn’t think it was worth it.) But I don’t get Google Plus either. It’s such a weird landscape in there. Don’t know where that leaves me!!

I think most social media online companies are weird!! interesting to know that by paying wasn’t worth it 🙂
So true, all of it. I’m quite disillusioned with our relationship too. Mine and Facebook, not yours and mine, heh. Facebook is definitely a male.
