Within about two hours after this picture became available this morning over 50,000 users had posted it in their personal profiles to protest a change in the universal template for the news feed portion of Facebook. Here's what Facebook says about the change:

When you pick up a newspaper after not reading it for a week, the front page quickly clues you into the most interesting stories. In the past, News Feed hasn’t worked like that. Updates slide down in chronological order so it’s tough to zero in on what matters most.



Now, News Feed will act more like your own personal newspaper. You won’t have to worry about missing important stuff. All your news will be in a single stream with the most interesting stories featured at the top. If you haven’t visited Facebook for a while, the first things you’ll see are top photos and statuses posted while you’ve been away. They’re marked with an easy-to-spot blue corner.

It isn't unusual for FB users to hate every single change that comes down from the world's #1 social networking site.  At one time the feature now called  "News feeds" didn't exist and when it first hit the site users thought they were being spammed, or worse.

Isn't it interesting that with everything else going on this change has commanded the attention of millions of people around the world?

Now if we could just fix the economy and end the wars...
