Change Facebook back?

Do people agree that Facebook should go back to work and school networks again? I guess I felt kinda special knowing that because I was in college I was able to join a network, but now the networks are open to pretty much anyone. Anyone think this is dumb or like the change?

I happen to like the city networks because i've been to three colleges and can't get into any of the emails anymore and work doesn't provide an email for anyone, so in order to use it i have to be in a city network (green bay by the way).

I forgot that you need a school e-mail for the account sign up. Valid reason. I can understand now.

I am in college as well and I do kind of miss the old less complicated facebook. I liked it because it was so simple now with all this new stuff it gets me all confused and wastes more of my time. I also liked when it was just open to college students because there was less worrying about people stealing you identity and that kind of thing. Oh well, what can you do?

Yup, there's nothing you can do. I think it is a little bit of competition with MySpace that way as well.

I very much agree that facebook should go back to what it used to be. Now that every and anybody can join it is not as good. Plus all of these new applications that keep being added need to go. I know that facbook is trying to keep up with the times but the way it was before made it very unique and more likeable by the college and working generation. If things keep going the way they are on facebook, they are going to be myspace and more people will begin to teave the site. I hope that they realize that there are so many that don't like the changes. If they revert to the way they were in the past, I believe that those who left because of the new changes will actually come back.

Since I don't have a work or school network I can join, I'm definitely liking how it's more open now. Otherwise I couldn't be in Facebook

I thought so at first, but I have a lot of friends still in high school that I talk to on Facebook and I'd be sad if I couldn't anymore. I wouldn't mind after everyone got out of highschool though. Facebook should come out with another site made just for college students called Collegebook.com or something haha. I guess I could always talk to those high schoolers on Myspace but I just can't stand that site!

No I don't agree that Facebook should go back to how it started; and you stated in past tense when you were in college your not in college anymore so grow up; just like Facebook as you.

I thought it was cool when it was just for school. It made it a lot easier to find former classmates and current classmates. Now, it's really confusing. I think that facebook should come up with another site just for high school students (i'm not in high school, but have a lot of cousins that are) This was, the high school can give them a code or something to sign up with, and there is less of a threat for younger people to talk with people they shouldn't be talking with. Just my oppinion!
