We may think we’re okay with change, but really, who are we kidding?

When it comes to the internet, we like things to look the same. The biggest sites — Google, Yahoo, YouTube, Wikipedia — look about the same today as they did when they started.

But Facebook wants to stay fresh. It unveiled some alterations to its homepage yesterday, adding a real-time ticker of updates, and making some of the photos in the Newsfeed bigger.

Doesn’t seem like such a big deal — but it’s got Facebook users livid.

“I signed up for Google+ today,” said one.

Ridiculous, said another.

And TV host Joy Behar tweeted: “I’ve wasted so much valuable time trying to figure out the #NewFacebook, I’ve barely had time to play solitaire on my iPad.”
