What about the news feeds that aren't news feeds that tell us to get rid of the news feeds the aren't news like Huffington Post (a blog, no matter what css it has) or arstechnica?
What about those silly ads on so many website pretending to be news too? This is a menace all over the place, I don't even use Facebook and it's hard to get away from this nonsense.
I've been opposed to the News Feed ever since it was introduced. I'm glad to see the real media is finally taking it seriously. The original concerns were about how it led to stalking-like behavior, and to the incessant need to see something new or get approval from friends. But it's gotten much worse now that they've allowed people without a .edu email to join.
