Facebook changes ‘annoying’; Google+ becomes ‘worldwide party’ public to all

Facebook changes ‘annoying’As Facebook created changes to its internet website leading up to what could be a significant redesign announcement, Google’s social network competitor Google+ became public to all or any.

Facebook’s revamped news feeds that highlighted a lot of “important” stories got — like many of Facebook’s prior revamps — a cold reception from users. Some readers even recommended ways to revert back to the previous Facebook style, like setting the account language to English (U.K.).

Meanwhile Google+, which rolled out tons of new and improved options when it went public Tuesday, got a rousing vote of approval for the first time. “If you hate Facebook's new update, undertake Google+!,” technology blogger Ashley Esqueda wrote on Twitter Wednesday.

Social network users brought out all kinds of comparisons Wednesday to form sense of the new changes on Facebook and Google+.

Blake Hounshell, managing editor of Foreign Policy magazine, compared the new Facebook to the Windows operating system, because in its new style Facebook is “always asking you to update stuff, verify stuff... behaves in strange ways. Super annoying,” he wrote on Twitter. Sixty individuals retweeted Hounshell’s comment.

About the new Google+, Swedish technology entrepreneur Anton Perlkvist, wrote that it had been now not “like a house party while not alcohol [where] most are just standing around waiting,” a comparison he had created just 32 days ago.

“Update: it's improving. A lot. Things are happening. NOW,” Perlkvist wrote on Google+ Wednesday.Could this be a turning purpose within the battle for dominance between Facebook and Google?Facebook, at 750 million users, is the world's No.1 social networking service. Google won’t say how many individuals have signed up for Google+, but analysts estimated upward of twenty five million users. That was before it went totally public these days.Google+ hasn’t lost all its critics, including faculty Humor, who roasted the social network Wednesday by releasing a video that called it “the delinquent network.”But computer World points out that Google+ has got the advantage over Facebook in one category — it encourages individuals to have a lot of followers.Be prepared, Perlkvist says, continuing the metaphor, for Google+ to become a “worldwide ... interesting party.”
