It seems the best choice would have been to allow users the option of what they want to see - though I'll admit that I can't say this would be an "easy" solution on their part to implement. Still I'm left with the feeling that the potential for conversation and discovery has been limited in some way - and that's not a desirable outcome.

I have a hard enough time keeping up with the people I know so the problem hasn't bugged me yet. But I want the situation resolved so the conversation can move on!

I can see why both sides reacted the way they did and are doing - I just feel that there's merit to both arguments which many on each side are conveniently ignoring. It's like Maria said earlier in the comments - it makes you wonder if a lot is being said just for traffic. Hey there Duong,

She's a good 'un and the new set-up really has hit her usage. Thanks CT – the post was written after seeing Freddly’s side. She’s a good ‘un and the new set-up really has hit her usage.

Look at Facebook (which you mention in your post) - they adapted because of the noise (or at least offered a choice to users). So, noise can add greatly to the argument. It's only when it's white noise that it misses the target. I think extra noise can help, if done properly.

It's probably the best one I've read so far on this. I do like the @reply features, as it does allow us to check out who certain @names are if we choose and often times we have the same likes, interests and makes for a very quick convenient connection. @duongsheahan Thank you Danny for your perspective.

The faster we adapt to the new circumstances the better off our experiences will be. I just wrote about how social network users go through the 5 stages of grief when confronted with change: http://tr.im/socialcomplaints. We need to change the way we react. Adding extra noise doesn't help solve anything- it only alerts and allows us to vent. Regardless of perceived right or wrong it happened and now we all have to deal with it.
