Some decent changes to Facebook in the post:

Facebook’s Response To Twitter

Facebook appears to be broken.

Down for anyone else?

Not really, no, you could argue Facebook status updates are similar to Tweets but it all works very differently, both sites having different user-bases too, something Facebook is worried about with Twitter now gaining massive popularity due to it's real-time Tweets and an increasing business presence on there.

Did you read the article?

real-time tweet sounds like pay-to-view porncam.

I went to a reunion in 2006. Left school in 71 - and I would swear that I'd never seen any of the other "kids" before. Only some of the ancient teachers looked familiar. It was kinda sad.

I don't get how people can have that varied an opinion on it. I add people I know. We send each other messages if we have something to say. It's pretty simple. How can you "go off" it?

Just don't accept people you don't want.

Surely most people don't know their spouses passwords.
The whole thing has the potential to be a bit creepy I think. Who decides who takes charge?

Aye, before I saw this I was talking about how the suggestions section now has a 'reconnect with' link and it keeps displaying 2 of my dead friends (obviously because they've been inactive).

I think this is a great idea.

KingCraig, did you read the article? You don't change the account to 'memorial' by logging in. The loved one sends Facebook a notification and proof (i.e. orbituary/death certificate) and they will change the account.
