What are these, and why should I care? Why should I spend fifteen minutes of my time figuring it out when I have so many better things to do, like checking my blog stats or writing what you’re reading right now?

Facebook UI designers, whoever you are, weren’t you taught that giving your users choice is a no-no? Especially when there’s no “Help” link next to it to let us figure out what that choice means? And Facebook UI developers, why does my homepage default to “News Feed” each time I open it?

And why has my life started revolving around Facebook so much that it makes me sick? *cough… cough.. splutter*
