And a child shall lead them

There is a disturbance in the Facebook force. An uproar over the redesigned Live Feed/News Feed pages on its uber-popular website.

Of course, like anything on Facebook, when people get upset about something they start a group. In this case, it’s the “CHANGE FACEBOOK BACK TO NORMAL” group and it boasts more than 1,500,000 members.

Who’s in charge of the group? A 14-year-old from Apex, NC near Raleigh named Jonathan Woodlief. His parents had no idea until reporters started calling the home to talk with the boy.

He actually didn’t start the group, but noticed it didn’t have an administrator so he “clicked a button” to make himself the admin.

It’s just another in a line of controversial choices by the powers-that-be at Facebook. Facebook contends that it made the changes in response to feedback from its users.

Some have posted workarounds for the new reality, but nothing makes it like it used to be exactly.

The only thing certain in the social media world is change.
