Facebook changes… Posted by on Sep 22, 2011 in Culture, Current News

Hello everyone!

Today I wanted to talk a little bit about Facebook and recent changes on it.

As many of you know, Facebook has been changing a lot of different things lately, without letting everyone know about it before hand. Some of us do not really care about them, some of us really hate it, some of us actually like it. There are also more changes to come:

On our Facebook page we asked you to share with us your thoughts regarding the changes. We  got a huge response! Take a look:

These comment are in Polish language, so I chose few and translated them for you. I’m sure most of know the translation, but not everyone, especially because the language used in most of them is not really the language they teach you when you take Polish lessons…I hope authors of those comments will not mind it. I chose few different ones to show versatility in our Face-bookers feelings.

“Jeżeli komuś się nie podoba nic was tu nie trzyma, to jest darmowy serwis. Zawsze można konto wykasować zamiast marudzić! Koniec i kropka! ;-)” – If one does not like it, nothing holds you here. This site is free and you can always close your account instead of complaining! End and the dot!

“Nie lubię:(“ – I do not like it

“Pojebane. . .” – f***ed

“Gówno” – sh**t

“Kurwa!!” – f**k

“A ja będę mało polska i marudzić nie będę :> Parę zmian jest pozytywnych, parę nie, ale ogółem nie jest aż tak źle.” I will be “little Polish” and will not complain:> Few changes are positive, few not, but overall is not that bad.

“Zmiany zawsze powodują niezadowolenie bo trzeba się przyzwyczajać do nich!!!” Changes always cause dissatisfaction, because  we have to get used to them!!!

“Mam w dupie…”I have it deep in my a*s”

Well, I tried to translate it as good as I could.

Personally these changes did not touch me too much. I use Facebook quite often, but I’m not on it all the time. I do not think that using it often or not using it much is good or bad. I really think that it is a personal choice what information and with who you want to share different things. You choose the way you live and everyone has a right to their own opinion. It is the same with changes on Facebook. You have a right to be upset or happy. Maybe Facebook should really give you a choice or ask for your opinion when they change either layout or different settings…?But on the other hand…online life is cruel and nobody asks anything anymore. So before I post something, I always think twice…knowing that not always I will have control over what is online. Some day it may hunt me, so I try to be careful.

But this is my opinion. And I respect everyone elses:)

Hopefully we will not experience many more changes that will make some of upset!

About the Author: Kasia

My name is Kasia Scontsas. I grew near Lublin, Poland and moved to Warsaw to study International Business. I have passion for languages: any languages! Currently I live in New Hampshire. I enjoy skiing, kayaking, biking and paddle boarding. My husband speaks a little Polish, but our daughters are fluent in it! I wanted to make sure that they can communicate with their Polish relatives in our native language. Teaching them Polish since they were born was the best thing I could have given them! I have been writing about learning Polish language and culture for Transparent Language’s Polish Blog since 2010.

    That’s funny!!
    But honestly I’m like you Kasia. I don’t care about them that much. I’m not on Facebook all the time and I try to keep my posts smart enough so that I don’t have to be ashamed of them even if my boss reads about them.

    Some people just don’t know how to post comments.
