Last week we asked SodaHeads what they thought about Facebook's recent changes.

There are always a few people acting like the world has gone up in flames whenever Facebook changes something, but this time the chagrin was palpable.

To top it off, speakers at the Facebook f8 conference on Thursday revealed there would be more change to come -- a lot more.

It looks like the buzz was justified, because an overwhelming majority of respondents thought Facebook should drop the changes like a bad bowl of clam chowder and bring back the old News Feed -- the News Feed we grew to know and love, where we could exercise our right to choose whether to view top stories or recent stories!

Are you with us?!

Of course you are. (Most of you, anyway.)

But that's not all we found. We were a little bit curious to see who was leading the charge against algorithmic news feeds -- and dying to know who actually liked them.

We also gave you a broader look at who's on the 'book these days, and took a glimpse at Facebook's new partners-in-crime, Spotify and Netflix.

Let's dive.

That graphic showing IT workers like the changes is puzzling. I am in the field and most IT guys I know don't go anywhere near Facebook. It's a data mining, virus portal, creepfest.

I HAVE TO ADMIT, I WAS SO AGAINST THE CHANGE I WAS GOING AROUND THE HOUSE CUSSING ALL DAY, AND I'M NOT A CUSSING PERSON. BUT I SAID LET ME START AND SEE WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT.....SO I DID...I GOT TO EAT CROW...BESIDE A LOT OF WORK TO ORGANIZE YOUR MATERIAL THERE IS A LOT OF FLEXIBLIITY AND SPACE FOR PHOTOS. I UNDERSTAND THE RESISTANCE, I WAS THERE. I THINK I WAS REALLY AFRAID OF CHANGING MY PAGE. BUT FOR ME IT HAS WORKED OUT. I THINK WHAT I LIKE THE MOST IS YOU CAN MOVE ITEMS FROM "NOW TO THE YEAR YOU WERE BORN" VERY EASY. LOOK LUCK :)

Oh. I think that is fine. You're talking about Imelda Marcos. Yes I don't know how much shoes she really had but yes it was a lot. She is one of the many worst in the world. :) I was just saying I can't complain really about new Facebook, It still let me communicate with my family and friends. :)

I've honestly never cared about the changes, you just have to adapt to a new layout etc, the world didn't end and it's not that hard. In time everyone will get used to it and then when Facebook make more changes they'll go up in arms once again, as usual.

Facebook is getting on my last nerve. I HATE THE NEWS FEED NOW! All I see are people saying they also hate it! OLD stories are on top and I have to search for new ones. Have I mentioned how much I hate the changes? They are NOT an improvement and I also Hate the loss of privacy now. When a friend post on THEIR friends wall it now shows up on my news feed, that is NOT right. Now when I post somewhere ALL my friends see it, it has made me STOP posting, it is NOT the business of others to see every move I make!
Facebook should ALLOW us to decide which format we want! They are NOT improving it, its making people angry!

On one hand, I understand that Facebook wants to make the site more functional and look better, but on the other, I know what I want to see, and their changes make it difficult to find what I am looking for. I would much rather choose what I want to see.

If anything is to improve, it must change. You all will go out and buy the newest trend in phones and you don't complain about having to deal with those kind of changes, yet you whine about something that is free? Quit using your i-pods to play music and go back to 8-tracks if you can't enjoy evolution.

I just created a Google+ account because I want a news feed (I'll ignore the freaking circles that FB has attempted to emulate). Now, instead of going from top to bottom, when I log on, I just read my friend's status and do not see what I've missed from businesses, musicians, charities, etc. So FB used to be a great way to spread "the word," whatever that word may be, not anymore. Well done FB, you've finally managed to begin chasing people off and REDUCE the sharing of information.
