Social Sweatworking

Let's be honest...if it weren't for social networking sites, I'd be on the phone a lot more, I'd have to be very creative or borderline stalker to meet the right people, I'd have to work 10 times harder to get two steps ahead, etc.  I could sit here and pontificate on the joys of social websites all day and their never ending uses to make life easier.  But Creators: can you just sit back and take a couple days off?  Us users are not going anywhere.  We are addicted to Facebook, crazy for Twitter and nuts about YouTube!  In the last couple weeks, Facebook decided that what we initially see on a person's wall isn't interesting enough.  Now, we get a slide show of pictures, where they work, where they went to school, a birth date...and probably soon: an underwear size.  I wouldn't really care so much if I had a choice whether to use the new "layout" or keep the old.  I did have a choice...for about 3 days.  After that, a forced switch-over was going to occur.  Twitter has been touting its new design but has been great about letting you keep the old.  Until now.  Again...your days of the old way are numbered.   I'm all about progress...both macro and micro.  However, it is enough to keep up with all the social websites and find a good balance between practical use, entertainment and anything in between.  I don't want to constantly deal with changes and figure out where icons, boxes, links and the whole nine yards now exist on a particular social website.  I could probably fashion a list of 10 other things to improve upon with Facebook, Twitter and all the other big gun sites.  I suspect these sites' respective design teams could too!  So please...leave the sites alone.  Think about this: When you drink out of a cup...you don't have to think twice about how to do it.  Cups are still relevant, still account for a portion of everyday sales and really haven't undergone a real giant change since their inception.   No Facebook, you are not a cup...but could you think like one?  I'm sick of being thirsty from all of this social sweatworking!
