Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.
Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
for those of you who are friends of mine on FB, I have deactivated my account. I just can't abide by the new Timeline format. I am more than a little ADD and it just puts me over the edge. Since I'm on FB to keep in touch with friends and family, it is meant to be a social conduit, not another stressor.
Heaven knows I don't need more stress in my life, so Goodbye Facebook. Thanks for messing up a good thing.
If they ever allow the old format again I'll be back. In the meantime, I have more time for Inforoo and other social media. And other worthwhile pursuits like reading, writing and sewing, not to mention camping, hiking, etc.
I was quite happy before FB and I'm sure that I'll be quite happy without it (after a few days)

I have no issue with the timeline, but I agree with ITM. They shouldn't force it on you. I prefer it with the cover photo and being able to see how many friends I have in common with someone.. I've been wanting that foreeverrrrr.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

I like the way one can manipulate the cover photo and the profile image to complete a thought, the way the two can be made to work together, to form a unified image.
Some days, however, I want to chuck FB as such an ineffectual means of authentic communication.
PSYCH!!!! that was a short lived separation. Just realized how else am I going to stay on top of what's going on with so many friends and family around the country and overseas.
so, I'm only hurting myself. FB doesn't give a rats ass whether I'm on or not.
Plus I couldn't possibly deprive Holls and dreamingtree of the entertainment.
Now, I still can't guarantee that I won't throw a couple more tantrums.....

I very much hate the forced aspect of the timeline. And from what I've seen of some of my friends timelines, they look to be incomplete ??? So far they haven't changed my profile yet. I'm considering when they do if I might stage a Facebook resurrection. It will be a tremendous pain in the ass, but it would be my way of shaking my tiny impotent fist of rage at them.
Save all of my pictures. Bookmark all of my friend's pages (I'm not a friend whore so it's less than 100, just people who are actually personal friends of mine or family). Jump through the umpteen hoops you have to jump through to permanently delete a profile. Then sign up again with a different email. Re-friend all of my friends, re-upload all of my photos, and re-tag all of my friend's photo's that they tagged me in (just the ones that make me look respectable ;D). Lather, rinse, then dry my hands.
I find it hard to get worked up about changes to Facebook. I wish that I could jump to a certain point in the feed such as the last time I was logged in rather and switching things to "recent" and then reading backwards but that's my issue. I'm not upset about it enough to create my on social networking site and I still get more positives from the experience than negatives.
