"All of those options existed before Facebook got its Twitter envy and decided to try and clone Twitter, doing away almost completely with the social graph algorithm that figured out what were top stories, relegating it to a tiny box with only 10 or 15 updates, while the main feed was all "most recent" (except that it didn't update in real time). Thankfully, after much lobbying, they did away with that incarnation and brought about the duality we now know, that lets us toggle between "most recent" and "top posts" - but the fine-grained controls, both for publishing and reading, never returned." - tollie williams

"@marshallkirkpatrick:disqus, an older incarnation of Facebook had these features prior to its demolition in Facebook's "twitter" overhall, circa 2 years ago. You had the option to publish or not publish many different types of stories, including friending. I'll try to find a screen shot, but it's unlikely one will surface. To be clear, I'm talking about the option to publish or not publish the stories themselves. I'm not talking about the old sliders that let you fine-tune the amount of various types of stories that appeared in your feed. Also, as a sidenote, I first noticed the "hide all ... activity" option in March, so it has been live at least that long." - tollie williams

"I believe your numbers are only those for Alabama Power, which is not state-wide. As of this comment, only 3% in Huntsville has power - http://www.facebook.com/HsvCit... - and much of the area serviced by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is still without power. I believe the number without power is around half a million now." - tollie williams

"Who flies? Let's face it, the terrorists caused the creation of the TSA and with the unconstitutional searches and the onerous rules, the terrorists won. Charter a bus, take a train, or simply drive - save yourself money, stop having your underwear inspected, your body felt up, and your luggage lost." - tollie williams

"Well, I respect your opinions, but wasn't kidding though. I work right beside a graphic artist who misses her Jabberwocky-ipsum. (because QuarkXpress dropped it for Unicode reasons, but left Klingon). Not that it should query you on each use for which language to use, but a preference instead. Just my 2¢." - tollie williams

"Add Jabberwocky, Klingon, and other obscure languages (like Quark had), then try again for "lasting entertainment value."" - tollie williams

"Evidence that the "new" retweet is the norm? I'm seeing 5 to 1 in favor of the user-preferred RT style, with commentary. Who cares that there's no universal way to decipher what came from who? Most people can usually figure it out. Also, side-note, Twitter still fails to #fixReplies like it promised it would. User-discovery on twitter is virtually dead compared to its early days." - tollie williams

"I'm 28 with good vision, and I think the smaller font with the extra line break slows down consumption and causes eye-strain. I think it _is_ too small. For those 40+ folks on Facebook, and there are many, I think they'll have the roughest time with it, and understandably so." - tollie williams

"Dear Tech Bloggers, Your stereotyping of all Alabamians as techphobic inferior beings is one of the reasons we might be right when we refer to you as elitists. In the future, when you think of Alabama, please remember that we gave you the Saturn V rocket, and Felicia Day. Sincerely yours, an Alabamian." - tollie williams
