Simpler times - University of Houston was on the waiting list of schools to get access to Facebook. And when it did, we had to strictly use UH email. Imagine the number of people flocking to the IT dept to start using their UH email. Good times..
I used to be one of those fanatics who made sure they could tell everyone what was going on, finding every one of my friends on there, following them (no not stalking them). I liked facebook.
And then .... it got complicated. It became this myriad of quizzes, of farmville, of fishville (god give extra time to these people, since they know not that they have sinned), of mafiawars, of craziness. And I began to detest it. It is an addiction - an inelastic demand that I am trying to turn into an elastic one, if only that were possible, considering I am in grad school.
Facebook has A.D.D.- what happened to it being a social network place- now its so ANNOYING, to say the least. Everyday its layout changes. Everyday its privacy stuff changes. Everyday its new. Everyday I check it I go I miss the old facebook.
I really do. I used to hope for a better interface, and look what I got. Please Mark Zuckerberg , please don't make any more changes. Please. I am tired of hiding friends, and hiding quizzes and random smiles I get from people.
Please please please - pretty please

I agree that lots of useless apps have degraded user experience, but I don't think that the layout is that bad. Well, for one thing, it allows you to check notifications, friend requests, messages without having to leave the homepage.
I am not sure how late you got into Facebook, but if my memory is good, then it was definitely after the first really big change was made. I don't like my homepage so crowded. I want my homepage to be like I want it to be, hence more and more friends are getting hidden in my friends list, cause its just ridiculous. There was an element of fun in using FB before, skepticism has taken over now :)
