funny that you mention that - mine totally tried to reconnect me with my ex the other day...and a few more times after that until i clicked the "x" to get rid of it!

i'm okay with it but it seems repetitive...i keep getting the same 4 people over and over

I don't like it. I feel like it's guilting me. Yes, I know I haven't talked with XYZ in a while. I'm BUSY.

I yet again hate the "new" facebook. I get bombarded with irrelevant ads, suggestions, and applications. And what's with having to switch between the Live Feed and News Feed. Nothing shows up on the News Feed anymore, so why is it still there. Or better yet, why is the Live Feed there? Unfortunately status updates, pictures, comments, and the other stuff I had the "old" facebook set to show is now mixed in with all the stuff I don't care about, i.e. who's now friends with whom, the people I hid, etc. I have hated the facebook layout since they changed in last year, its harder to navigate and find the info you want. Remember when you could choose who you wanted more info on and who you didn't, and what specifically you wanted to see? No one I know likes the "new" facebook and when ever it changes we wonder what was so wrong with it the way it was before the major overhaul. If it weren't the primary way I stay connected with people from college I would have deleted my account a long time ago. But, alas, it is the easiest way to stay connected to a group of people, no matter how much I dislike the format. I will have to remember to try out the facebook lite since that is suppose to emulate the old layout and be less obtrusive.

I am SO angry at Facebook
...or perhaps what happened when I made the mistake to click on sugar's little "post this comment to my Facebook feed" which effectively resulted in ALL my friends/followers evaporating on Facebook.

Perhaps it was a coincidence that it fell on the same day that Facebook changed----but Facebook is not concerned about my lost content....ALL of it...I get little tiny emails saying "oh yeah we no there is a problem" but nothing has been done to repair it.

I like it. With hundreds of friends and family on Facebook, it's nice to get a random reminder about someone I haven't seen in a while. I also like that the photo box of friends rotates -- I click on random people I haven't been in touch with in a while to look at their updates and photos and see how they're doing. It's a nice way to stay at least a little in touch -- certainly more in touch than I was before.

I like it until it recommends me to reconnect with a friend who has sadly passed on.

I just removed a bunch of connections the other day, to streamline my friends list. I got rid of all the people I had no interaction with, like friends from highschool or old work colleagues. So I'm not sure how helpful this new feature will be!

Btw, can anyone explain the difference between the two News Feeds??

You can go on the top left (under the list) and click the blue "more". Then you can move the status updates above the news feed. It makes it more like the "old" facebook.

My facebook keeps recommending that I reconnect with friends of mine who are dead... So if facebook could set up a feature that would facilitate that, well awesome! Until then, it's just really creepy.
Also, FB keeps suggesting that I friend my own (much older) facebook account. It's funny because I no longer know the password to that account and the e-mail account it is linked to has been deactivated, so I literally can not accept myself.

That is hysterical. I friend you but you are "Anonymous" ... which means nobody can friend you. I have always wondered why there was a need for "Anonymous" comments.

I don't care about the new reconnect feature. If I haven't talked to person X then I don't want to.

And I too don't get the two new news feeds.

@cheekyredhead: i dont understand. just become friends with everyone again. it's not like you lost your thesis.

Tidal Wave---it was a network of friends/followers that were driven to my content in other sites and blogs. It was over 30000 people who have now vanished from my facebook page. BTW...left you another comment at my link.

Many people use Facebook as a means to develop their business contacts, or in my position I am working on "branding" my writing and content as a specific voice.

These were not idle "comments" on my profile feed...they were people who were there because they liked my writing, blogs, and other content I could point them to. Now they have vanished.

Can I just sit and pray I meant enough to them that they'd come find me? Really silly because they have always depended upon my event notifications announcing my new issues "Cheeky" and now they aren't getting them.

Sugar basically did the same thing to me when they discontinued the notification feature on here and then it took them almost three months to find my follower list...and it still is not complete.

The bottom line is that my Facebook account was linking people to my work in other places...a network. I have lost that and it is not replaceable.

Facebook AND Sugar fail to see the impact of someone like me on their business and perhaps they need to. I pulled people into Sugar by using Facebook and vice versa...so I was promoting them as much as I was myself.

When Facebook ignores my complaints they are also ignoring my reader base which then does effect BOTH Sugar and Facebook. The traffic in several forums here on Sugar since my Facebook profile issue is down 45% and that is not a small number. My blogs are now down almost 75%....HUGE.

No...it was not my thesis...it was my livelihood. I am building a business and this is like stealing all my clients.

It keeps telling me to reconnect and talk to MY OWN BOYFRIEND.
