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 like Facebook because I like to check out my friends and family's statuses, and the changes have made it horribly time consuming to do that. More changes coming too, hopefully once the whole thing is refurbished it will come together better.

people complain about everything this days. Nobody likes change, they are to lazy to look and figure out the new page. Do most people realize that it's a FREE website?? Stop being such whiny people and get over it.

BUT they do Facebook and it is totally true, it's because some employees Facebook during working hours and nothing has changed it's relxing of the employees.

Gamers are screwed. In addition to the "recent stories, and top stories" there was also an option on that drop down menu for "games". It allowed you to filter your news feed of everything but game posts. No longer. Now you have to plow (sorry farmvillians) through six pages of posts just to find your game stuff.

I am unhappy with their NEW FEATURES, just packaged differently..
and since when did a social networking site limit your accepting friends and accumulating friends? I GUESS YOU CAN ONLY MEET THOSE THAT YOU ALREADY KNOW...what the F*CK. For social networking and they limit how many you can meet, DOESN'T MAKE SENSE, in light of the NATURE OF FACEBOOK..SOCIAL NETWORKING..isn't that the IDEA TO MEET OTHERS...DUH...

Yeah but Facebook sucked before the update... they just got popular because people were tired of Myspace... not because they had anything spectacular to offer. We're just waiting until something better comes along... oh and I think Google invented it.

fact is that only change persists. shame, I wud like to have a snapshot of this world right now.. or maybe in 2000 or something. but back to the point, I am annoyed from constant change in facebook. the new chat's buddy list is practical though.
