Yikes! I like the "new" Facebook

Don't Shoot Me.

I actually like it.

Why? It's simple. If you use Facebook for many different reasons (i.e. business, staying in touch with close friends, people who are just acquaintances, or personal updates that you only want family to see), it comes in very handy. It makes it harder to miss important news and lets you decided who you would rather NOT hear from (i.e. I don't care if you just used the bathroom for the fifth time today, and now I don't HAVE to hear about it), without hurting anyone's feelings.

Another example, I have secured many new clients through social media, therefore, it's important for me to have business contacts on my Facebook page to easily stay in touch and maintain that relationship. However, I don't think my business contacts want or need to know (as an example) if I'm planning a family reunion or a surprise party for my sister. In the past, I had to create a separate group just for my family to maintain contact with them separate from my business contacts. Now, I can do it all from one page.

If you just take the few minutes necessary to learn to use it correctly, it is a big help and SAVES you time and frustration in the long run.
