Facebook seems intent on making the service more and more irritating to users. It’s sad when the only thing that keeps me there is that I have scrabble games going on. I hate the new feeds, they’ve over complicated what was simple, and the groups pages are pointless now as they’re indistinguishable from pages or profiles.
