The Comfy Corner

So, generally I don't respond well to changes in my cyber world. For instance, when Facebook got rid of the "See All Comments" button on photo albums, I almost had to sign up for rehab. And when Gmail completely changed its formatting, for about a month I clicked "contacts" every time I wanted to compose an email. I wanted to personally go to Google and strangle someone. But the newest addition to Facebook has fallen upon me with general agreement (and secret sheer joy).

There is a new button that allows you to see your entire history with the person you are stalking. This is actually an incredible feature. It reminds me of that moment in "Devil Wears Prada" where what's-her-face whispers into Meryl Streep's ear everything she needs to know about the person she is talking to. So all of my skeptical, republican change-hating comfy cornerers out there are probably wondering, "What's so great about it?" Well, I'll tell you!

I can now with the simple click of a button access an entirely new profile involving me (and, let's be realz, there is nothing I like more than gazing fondly at my own profile). It is complete with a random fun photo of me and the said person I am stalking (let's call him Henry, because no one knows anyone named Henry). And if there isn't a photo of me and Henry then it gives me a fun friendship goal ("Hey Henry! We should totes get drinks or something, because we don't have a single photo together! lolz"). Also, I can see what interests Henry and I share, the bands, the foods, the TV shows, I can quickly flit through all of the messages Henry and I have sent each other, I can track all of the photos we've been in together - essentially I can judge the quality of my friendship with Henry on this new feature! It's lovely. Thanks Facebook for renewing my faith in change. No thanks, Obama.
