- As former Facebook enthusiast and original founder of "I Just Tried to Ford the River and My F***in' Oxen Died," I'd like to personally express my disapproval of Facebook's News Feed and Mini Feed features. Facebook has gone too far in its attempt to subtly introduce features that increasingly invade our privacy. Facebook users won't stand for it. Remove these features, Zuck, or watch as Facebook accounts are deactivated by the hundreds and the site collapses under its own lack of foresight.

- I really don't think it's fair to have a mini feed. I love Facebook, but I just don't feel that you should see if I've updated or what groups I check out. That's my own business.
