So, Facebook is officially the new AOL. A post on ReadWriteWeb about Facebook’s new collaboration with AOL’s authentication system somehow became one of the top Google results for “facebook login,” and the result was hundreds of Facebook users stumbling onto what they assumed was a “new” Facebook, confusing the heck out of many FB users:
The new facebook sucks> NOW LET ME IN.
I WANT THE OLD FAFEBOOK BACK THIS SHIT IS WACK!!!!!
I was just learning,why would you mess it up?
This event is likely to be remembered for a long time as the moment when we (the “savvy” users) were reminded of how ignorant many users are about the general workings of their web browsers, and the web in general.
And that Facebook is the new walled garden.
